I also made that point. If I recall his list was somewhat silly, mostly cap teams that would need to blow up their rosters to take him. Of course you can hound the agent all summer to expand the list but there's no guarantees.

It's all the conditions of the first, we're basically trading up like 10 spots with our 2nd through this trade.

Yup, the focus is on moving on ….16' draft ….17' draft, etc….

When do we start pumping the tires of those drafts?

We need to have the Buffalo/Boston philosophy of stockpiling high end picks... that should be the focus here

Seguin just gonna kick Benn to the curb?
- NoobasaurusRex


Threesome. Seguin has a huge bed. And Benn feels two Tylers are better than one.

- Nastradamus


And they just moved down 10 at this years draft... They are stockpiling quantities of middling maybes and small forwards with potential. They fired a coach mid season while sitting in the playoffs to pick one top prospect that will have a career. Those teams are putting quality over quantity...

For sure ….he had to submit a new list July 1 (iirc). I'm sure the list was the same. It was full of teams with no cap space (Chi, Mon, Pit, Phi, Bos, NYR, etc….). It was a staredown between Pit and Tor and Pit had the better hand.

Leafs could have said no and kept him ….but we'd be female doging about that too. And the list would look the same next year and we'd be doing the same dance …just 1 year later.

Thanks Steve I put all of my faith in a tabloid hockey reporter that has zero connections in the league.

I wouldn't be too concerned about that. What today's move should tell you is that the leafs will move people out of town whether or not there is a serious offer on the table.

Lord knows when we get a goal scorer like him again.
