TSN is so stoked on Wayne Simmonds signing with the Leafs and then craps all over us for being unable to close an OEL deal and having major cap issues, apparently.
HOW ABOUT YOUR CAP ISSUES TORONTO??? -
So the Canucks are planning to reach out to Pietrangelo tomorrow...
Trading for OEL will result in us taking on a 8.25mil/7 year contract.
If we take a run at Pietrangelo, he signs for around 9.5mil/7 year contract.
Not far off.
I'm just saying, we have the cap space and he is a much better defenseman than OEL. He is the type of guy you want around Hughes, Juolevi, Rafferty, etc.
I personally would be willing to take the risk. If he leaves St. Louis, they're no longer a cup contender. He's that good.
Hughes - Pietrangelo
Edler - Rafferty
Juolevi - Myers
I mean come on that's hard to turn down. Do we want Myers teaching Juolevi and Jurmo how to play in the NHL? Nothing against him but Edler is likely gone after next season and Myers is not a legit 1-2 dman. We need someone consistent.
I say go for it.

Markstrom is likely gone tomorrow. I know this doesn't feel great now, but he is 30 years old and will inevitably decline. He probably wants a 7-8 year deal with NMC. Let's move on and get younger. Demko is ready to take the reins.
