Isn't Robidas on long term IR or something?

Must be the case, just odd.

Gardiner seems to be a decent Dman right now. I would rather the Leafs don't trade him.

Yeah it all depends where they see guys like Percy, Harrington and Dermott. You also have others who could mature nicely (Loov, Nielsen, Valiev) I have no idea where Corrado stands.

I think he is. And when he gets better, I don't think he'll come off immediately either (if he retires its on the cap). I think he and the Leafs must have a gentleman's agreement or something. I bet you he becomes a player development director or something

This is exactly what I think is going on, sneaky but whatever gets the job done within the rules and keeps all parties happy.

Honestly, build something around a Percy for Rychel swap

Add in what's needed on either side to make it work

For sure the Leafs will have to give to get.

Percy would be a good starting point as he's young as well with quality worth.

Could look at moving out one of our rental players for a pick then use that pick + Percy.

We have depth on D, the jackets have depth on the wing.

Percy... 2nd pairing d man, Rychel... 2nd line winger who could be shifted into a 3rd line checking role.

I think it's pretty balanced, and, it involves assets in positions both clubs are deep on. Also, Percy is a former administration pick, so the current management might not be as tied to him.

exactly. They have Harrington and Dermott who I think they like.

with all these skilled smaller players, having Kerby at 215-225 pounds or so would certainly pay off with some board strength.

Dmytro Timashov-Steal! What a pick by Hunter.
Everyone goes on and on about" Top Picks", but in order to truly compete for a cup, you need some solid players picked after the first round. That's what is wrong with a team like Edmonton. Many of the contenders have those types of picks in their lineup.
