ok Shanny, thanks.

No problem. I just keep expectations low so if something does happen I'm really pumped.

Jeff Skinner's name out there quite a bit. Four more years at $5.725 M cap hit ($6 M salary). Carolina definitely open to moving him...

I'd love to have Jeff Skinner on the Leafs. Would be a top 6 winger for 10+ years.

Skinner and Lupul on the same line - might as well just push the stretcher out on the ice before they drop the puck.

No thanks.

It sure was. Tony Fernandez is my 2nd fav player all time. He was 1st for a good while until Joe Carter hit that home run.fun fact of the day.

Dion at 7M is okay..

I have a gut feeling something will go down. Whether it's a huge move (like a Kessel trade), or some kind of other move (trading down or another trade), just excited for the draft in general though. Even if Toronto doesn't trade Kessel, the draft is always great, and exciting.

ok Shanny, thanks.

He's probably right. You're getting all worked up. A bunch of oil fans were the same back in 2010. Hoping to get both Hall and Seguin. Kessels July bonus will probably hold up that deal. Phanuef is probably staying. No one wants Lupul. I don't see the many blockbusters going down the way you hope.

Instead of both they ended up with just the second best of the two. Well played as per usual.

I don't mind Dion staying, only if Babcock lights a fire up his ass and straightens him out, and Babs is the only guy I can see doing such a thing.

Kessel will most likely be gone. Whether it's tomorrow, or at the draft it self remains to be seen. Trading Lupul, Gardiner, or Bozak isn't a blockbuster in anyway, so I don't look at those 3 being "blockbuster" if moved.

The NHL will accept expansion bids until Aug. 10.

let's submit a bid consisting of us here on Hockeybuzz. Someone write up a nice 4 line, 3 pairing, 2 goalie lineup!

Panthers are close to tying up Huberdeau long term. Hayes on deck but certainly not for Huby or Bjugstad numbers #flapanthers

Panthers still don't seem interested in Phil Kessel. I'm hearing Leafs demands are ridiculous. #flapanthers

I hate life.

Let their demands be ridiculous, until they're not. If Sharp moves first, that will shift the whole spectrum of reasonable to ridiculous.

Chicago's asking price for Sharp makes the Leafs asking price for Kessel softer than the Sedin twins.

Meh, the demand for Phil should be ridiculously high. They have to be at least to start. Draft floor may change things but that bonus Phil gets on July 1st will be the killer. Too bad Leafs can't send 4M with him.
