So just for poopes and giggles.

What would it take to get JT (again, assuming that NYI even wanted to move him for whatever reason).

26 years old C.
6'1, 210.
signed for 1 more year after this at a very very reasonable 5.5m before hitting UFA.

Good for 35 and 35 = 70.

Would allow the Sedin's to drop to 2nd/3rd line.
Would be an obvious replacement for Henrik as a 1C.
Would give the team a good shot in the arm offensively, plus a good marketing angle.

Would likely be bolting if not locked up for a fortune after next year.
Risky move.
would cost assets and not be a 'proper rebuild'.

What would it cost?

JT is going to Toronto with Stamkos, everyone knows this.

Well bottom pairing can be found UFA, they also still have so many assets to deal. That's the thing with selling off, and getting lucky with the lottery. You tend to pile up assets quickly.

Leafs already loaded on bottom pairing D.
Til they trade assets/picks as i already said they r not fixing D.
Leafs lack top 4D bottom pairings help nada.

You guys are speculating JT... but my eye is on Barzal

The biggest problem if JT is a UFA is too much competition to sign him.
Money will be there no matter what so not an issue.
Any chance we sign him as a UFA woud mean we r primed with a roster that wins & gives him the wingers NYI always struggled to do.
- Nighthawk

I wouldn't waste much time. If he is available at free agency make an offer . If not let some team over pay

Works for me 👍👍

Tanev and Virtanen for Barzal.

Post Hank...

Horvat, Barzal, Sutter, Chitpoo

It is 6 degrees tonight in Vancouver and a Subway 6 inch meatball sub has 250 calories .

If Canucks win tonight the could be in a playoff spot.

Who TF is Connor Sheary?

just looked up pitts lines:

Conor Sheary/Sidney Crosby/Bryan Rust
Jake Guentzel/Evgeni Malkin/Patric Hornqvist
Carl Hagelin/Nick Bonino/Phil Kessel
Chris Kunitz/Eric Fehr /Scott Wilson

i don't know half of their top 6.

imagine how upset their fans must be with an over paid 'elite' 3rd liner (on pace for 30ish goals).

Why there is even a discussion about anything else is beyond me.

Sup folks.

Getting ready for the game.

I watched them a lot during their playoff run, I love Sid. Guentzel is definitely a new one! Its funny how that over paid 3rd line is still intact 8 months later.... its almost as if its a great line

- Crazybagoham

it's funny how with all that talent on pitts over the years, Sid gels with people you wouldn't exactly expect.

Same with Connor in Edmonton (Maroon).

Same with the Sedins as well.

Ok....all done work for the day, getting ready for the game. I'd like to see a belly flop early, if you know what I mean.

I think it's different factions. Some want immediate results (good luck) whereas others understand it takes time. The draftists just understand that the longer you delay this, the more time it takes. (That includes moving 2nds, recent 1st round picks)
- golfingsince

That's so black and white. It doesn't work that way. There is no blueprint. It's a balance of opportunity and assets. Otherwise every draft build team would be flourishing and competing for Cups.
