Other than Bo... what moves are we talking about?  Kravtsov? 

We really haven't done that much selling lol

And the only sell we did was forced by bad contracts.

[Locke Lamora]

Chicago doing it right….while some Canuck fans fret about trading JT Miller.

Too early to call, depends on how far Toronto goes and what Chicago does with the pieces 

 

Toronto's def all in though 

ROR, McCabe and two depth forwards have to say its the best looking unit they've ever put together even with muezzin out,  outside of their goal tending.

 

I just don think they can win a cup with their goalies

Chicago stacking up 1st and 2nd round picks over next 3 years.

No kidding.  Imagine having at least two 1st round picks each year for the next 3 years?

Adding RoR and acciari go a long way to insulating goaltending.

Small bites of their morning oats, at this rate they'll finish in time for nap time 

Too much gives them a tummyache and then it's an hour in the can.

I hope they don't

 

But in all honesty, despite them being tied for my least favourite NHL team with Edmonton, I'd be okay with Toronto beating Tampa 

 

I'm so goddamn tired of Tampa, they've had so much success over the past decade and I'm ready for them to go away and be mediocre or something

Iim okay with Toronto suffering with another first round loss tbh maybe im sick tho... I dont think Tampa goes all the way this year.

 

Boston seems like the obvious choice but anything can happen.

Credit to Davidson and Dubas (Kyle squared) for making moves. Some GMs have it, and some don't.

I wonder what r word they use over there. Re-invigoration? Renewal? Re-construction?

Despite the terrible teams he's been part of, McCabe is an actual NHL defender - something the Laffs sorely lack unfortunately. 

 

That said, I feel this is a classic case of TDL player value inflation as you're likely never going to see an NHL GM trade a 1st rounder for a McCabe in the off-season as the main pieces of a deal.

It helps but only goes so far. Still need solid goaltending come playoff time

[-Vintage Canuck-]

The last line.

I agree. I like McCabe

It's true, and nothing good ever comes of that because they just sit on their phones scrolling through CDC and this always leads to a couple hours of management debating the merits of our proposals and arguments

I won't be upset if Toronto loses, it'd be funny

 

But please, please, please.. no more Tampa in the goddamn final for a while 

 

Four straight appearances means I have to root for Vegas or Edmonton or whoever comes out of the West
