I'd do that faster than I'd tear off my pants if Kate Upton said, "Get naked, fatty!"

Move into the top 5, lose the last 5 years of MacDonald and get to keep TB's first? Done and done.

So I can put you down as a "yes" ?

Just the results. Billy Daly sitting at a desk, flipping over cards counts down from 14-1

I wish they did it with representatives for each team present like the NBA does. Imagine Bernie getting told we won...

Or that little red haired freak kid from the Oilers. He'd be totally indifferent. Like "Again? ...Big deal. Yay."

Bernie'd be trying to bang the female co-host.

Here's an interesting trade that just popped up in my head.

To Carolina: 7th overall and AMac

To Philadelphia: 5th overall and John Michael Liles

Amac> Liles. Liles has one year left on his deal at just under 4 million. Gets us a stop gap defender at a decent price and the Canes get top 4 defensive help that they desperately need and still get to pick at 7 where they can grab Werenski without giving up all that much.

At 5 we'd be guaranteed one of Hanifin, Provorov or Marner and be in a better cap situation.

- hereticpride


I don't see why Carolina would want to take on that contract. What about this one:

To Carolina: B Schenn & L Schenn (cuz we know they like sets of brothers)
to Philly: 5th overall and 2nd round pick, maybe a mid-tier prospect (they have a lot of LW and D prospects)

Carolina needs an influx of young talent now, but they might want more upside.

Carolina would want the 7th overall added to that...but yeah if they were willing to give me the 5th pick, plus a 2nd rounder for the Schenns, I'd do it without even asking for a mid tier prospect

They want more upside so they'd take the Schenns over the 7th pick? That just doesn't make sense to me.

Plus they already have the Staals and Lindholm. I don't think BSchenn is a player they'd be in on.

I really thought we may have a shot at Babcock but it does look like the Leafs are totally cleaning the house for him to put ALL his people in place

Yeah, but their roster is their roster. Let's see if they move Kessel. They might be stuck with Phaneuf.

I'm worried about this now. Leafs/yotes those teams are going to want a ransom for strome. I'm not convinced eichel goes before strome. Late risers are just that

They can move Phaneuf. They just need to decide whether they want to eat money and get a decent return or just straight salary dump him

Kessel must go. He is a jack A Would not want any part of him. I think Dion will also be gone.
I just don't want the Leafs to get either Babcock or McDavid... Guarantee they get one

Only way this makes sense is if we're adding the 7th overrall. Was that forgotten?

Just ran the simulator 120 times. Flyers won 13 times. McDavid is *so* ours.
