Agreed, probably the worse day of the year to make trades to help us now and "in the future"

But then again, wouldn't be the first time he has surprised us.

How about a deal around Kadri for Boninophone?
He brings more skill than the american which can only help the pp and has more offensive upside. Toronto saves some cap space and gets more experience when Van adds Higgy to the package. Toronto gets two guys who have leadership skills, based on what you hear, for a guy who needs a change of scenery.

Get er done Gillis.

What sites are you looking at in your other tabs?

Seriously though, a guy with 70pt potential and a potential 1st line centre is what vancouver doesn't have.

kadri
horvat
mcann
cassels

I think there's good potential with that group for at least 3 of them to be legit long-term centre pieces on the top 3 lines.

Given the fact that kadri is a lock for5 mill and doesn't back check. I'd wouldn't si Bonino for Kadri straight up.
- Bieksa#3


Ain't Kadri a RFA?

New team, small sample size, more suited to his style with better players and its far away from Toronto.

Doubt he'd get 5 here much less anything above 4.

I'd give him 5 for 2. Throw a sniper like vrbata on his wing.

potential after Hank retires in 3. guy would learn to play from a leader who isn't a douche. it's hard to find potential 1st line centres. can't deny the guys skill. hate him because he's a leaf but would probably love him here.

What are his comparables at that age? 50 point guy, granted he did put up close to a ppg in the shortened season.

Personally, i'd love to acquire the kid so long as the price ain't too high. Certainly more upside then Bonino.

Its not like he hasn't had scorers in Toronto. JVR quite often. Lupul when healthy. How much do his numbers go down when he is expected to even try to play defense here. Can u say CoHo?

Hank tries when the other team has the puck. If kadri did that his numbers would decrease. Hank doesn't complain steady. Might as well give buff a 7th for Hodgson. Same garbage player

Lupul when healthy. That is like Santa Claus the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. It sounds warm and fuzzy but we all know there is no such real thing.

Depends. Some teams make smart buys that help with SC runs or even re-sign the player they trade for.

And some sellers end up getting nothing out of the prospect or pick they acquire.


The GM's who do well on this day are the ones who are least desperate.

Had a dream the other day that Benning pulled a Snow.

Kadri and Toronto's first for all of our picks, 1 through 7

Well at least we got bonino and not Teräväinen. Nobody is talking about this kid when Kane went down for some reason.

Somehow we need to get a young centre with more potential than bonino. love to find someone like a hertl, wennberg, etc. maybe mcann's going to be that guy.

Given that Toronto's pick is 10-15 picks higher, I do that. Then take kadri out back and put a bullet between his eyes

McCann
Horvat
Cassels

Were fine there. Horvat is already better then kadri

I'd try to include bonino in a pa kage for a young top 6 to a team strapped for cap space.

I know eh, all our picks for a guaranteed top 5 or perhaps even a lottery win. Would be ballsy as (frank)

It appears our own team has forgotten about him. We hardly get updates on his status anymore.

I dreamt that we took LA to a 5th game in round one before they kicked our asses in game 5

You're assuming both McCann and Cassels are locks to make the NHL full-time in the future?
