He makes $8m, they freed up some room by trading more in return.

#24, Nylanders replacement 🕺🏻
- Garnie

Took his job November 2018

He was a decent free player.

Plus, "blowzak" was a great nickname to toss around
- Fakepartofme

Or Ballsac.. or something like that.
Seriously though. Classy guy. Poor mans 2c. Above average 3c. We wanted him to be a #1..

The team is named after the famous W. C. Handy song "Saint Louis Blues".

Great piece of music, hard to believe it was done on TV in 1948! One of the original blues musicians. I would think Boston is going to win, but Blues after so many years of high expectations, coming out of nowhere this year is interesting.

St.Louis Blues...Their name makes as much sense as Utah Jazz.
- RogerRoeper

Their is a style of music called St. Louis blues and St. Louis has a significant history of blues and jazz actually.

If Doughty is available, the Leafs absolutely have to be listening.

Could provide cap space by taking Marleau too.

Wouldn't that just be swell?
- JohnFergusonJr

Yes, but Marleau has a full NMC. He ain't going nowhere.

correct

Nevermind the fact that Doughty has a lot of miles on him and is signed for 8 years at 11.

The back half of that contract is going to be horrible.

Factor in the high cost to acquire him, no thanks.

Was this the first year of his contract or does the 8 years kick in next year? I forget

Either way it was a dumb contract to give out I think.

They have a couple of those, though Dustin Brown seems to have turned it around

St. Louis didn't give the refs a chance to hand it to San Jose.

Kessel leaves Toronto....wins cup next season.
Bozak leaves Toronto.....could be in cup final and a chance to win one.
- Fakepartofme

I always liked both guys. They seemed a decent fellows. I'm glad Kessel won (and should have won the Conn Smythe, too) and I hope Bozak wins now.

Doughty has never played less than 76 games brah. He's not a health concern; doesn't play a rough and tumble game at all either.
