Cavaliers just became team canada, good pick though.


Wiggins-Irving will be nasty

Agreed, 4 1st round picks sounds more like a Philly thing

No that would be a Leafs thing.

Either of them, but I'd rather have the leafs picks than Flyers.

Would not shock me a bit if we lose out next year, that's why when people mention McDavid they are getting to far ahead of themselves. Nothing is set that we get him and if the draft does change next year, Murray should start moving in another direction.

Finally! Been saying this all along!

Vincent Lecavalier 25% and + 25% to the Sabres per EK

they will move him just doubt it's to the Sabres.

Agreed, my best guess is they retain some salary and deal him to the hawks

A part of me would love to watch Myers excel under Babcock

He hates the leafs just as much


The statement's not even accurate. The rule change for 2015 is that the odds will be "compressed" I'm guessing instead of worst team having 25% it will now have like 19 or 20.

Even if that's the case, finishing dead last still guarantees you Eichel, the real change comes in 2016 when they introduce the extra lottery.


Edit: source http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=455770

"The league has proposed smoothing or compressing the odds among the 14 non-playoff teams for the 2015 draft and then increasing the number of selections determined by the lottery in 2016."

So, to guarantee one of the two, we need to finish dead last.

With the right amount of cash and timing you could see that without having to trade Myers

Yup, only thing changing next year is the percentages which may work in our favour if the Isles don't do as well.

If they trade him and don't get a lot back they will regret it

I suspect that's the only way they trade him

My guess is

2014 1st + T Jurco + Brendan Smith and perhaps a cap dump is the ask.

IMO Brad Richards is the second line Center for the Hawks next year, if he can keep up.

Trade the big fella! Won't regret it!

Yea I could see that too, but I have a feeling he'll get a vinny like contract from the leafs or flames.

If they don't get a half decent player back they most certainly will.

Pulkkinen, please.

The guy I want (that sounds bad) is Nyquist, but I doubt they give him up

I get the sense he figures into their long term plans, that's why i didn't suggest him but could be wrong.

I'm not a huge Myers fan but IMO, this is a huge move if they decide to trade him. Guys like Myers with his size and skill are not easy to come by, this goes against the rebuild by moving him and makes no sense.

I figured.

But Myers would figure into their long term plans too.

No matter what happens, I'm glad Murray won't just give him away, based on his comments

Maybe Murray has his eyes set on Ekblad ?
