I'm telling you guys they're putting together a package for Kessel.

Fries and burgers

The return wasn't bad.........Makes me wonder if they will make Malcom Subban available
- ob18

No, but still seems odd unless there was no hope to resign him at a price Boston was looking for, which could be the case

CSNNE says that Boston is attempting to trade up to get Hanifan.

So if your Arizona.....what deal would you make?

#7, Morin and Laughton for #3

Or

#13,14 and #15?.


Crazy to think.... I know .

It was a solid return.
- MJL

That's basically what I was saying

so maybe Boston is just looking longer term.
Chara is aging out and Hamilton wants too much money.
In what should be a draft chock full of future players, they just got 3 first rounders.
in a year or two, all three could be on the ice for equal or less than it would have cost for Hamilton.

No, just applying your logic that if a player hasn't been moved he has no value in a deal
- funmaster18

Simmonds has no value, either.

that's not at all my logic but whatever i guess you have to put other down to make yourself feel better

Yes but what if the d they draft don't pan out. Dougie was lookin like the real deal and he's gone. You lose him and chara is on the way down. Could be lean years ahead

makes me wonder if arizona already turned down hamilton plus for hanifin

or, they look like geniuses.
it's part of the gamble of being in charge.
And, it's saying you trust your staff

14 and 15 to the Devils for 6.

6 and 13 to AZ for 3rd overall.

I'd like to see what bad deal get shipped today!!

Crazy, though -- should've just manned up and paid Hamilton

We can all laugh and joke and argue and fight. We are just guys on the Internet

But that poop is real, and you don't trade a 22-year-old, gifted defenseman, right-handed, with his physical gifts, just coming off his ELC and who you drafted, just for the hell of it

Lucic, I totally get. Motor might have gotten into cruise control for the money

Dougie Hamilton had 10 goals and 40-plus points last year

Trading that guy when you hold his rights should get people fired
- AllInForFlyers

yup
wish the flyers had traded for hamilton actually
he's proven he can play, and I while love drafts picks there is risk

anyone want to take a stab at the value or a Caps WC jersey autugraphed by the whole team would be worth?

There's a feeding frenzy and the sharks are circling to try and get the top two defenseman, Hanifan and Provorov. Doesn't look great for either to fall to the 7th spot.

Just noticed Kopitar will be a FA next year as well as Lucic.

that's not at all my logic but whatever i guess you have to put other down to make yourself feel better

Then what did you mean?

This could turn into Don Sweeney's draft like last year was Jim Benning's. Pretty aggressive work so far.

Went fishing today, did I miss anything?

no worst draft day ever

So basically Edmonton is picking 1st, Buffalo 2nd, and Boston 3-30
