Gotta think Lou isn’t finished with 3 million of LTIR relief available Bellows and some other pieces available for him to get something done and I think he will.
Possible to get Foligno or Hall in any way for the Barzal line?

Foligno went to TO today

Filigno is a leaf now. But I agree. Think we need a LW. Wouldn’t be surprised with Hall trade. Still no one to play with Barzal that shoots L, alt least that they’ve played. I’ve said ad nauseam lines with all same shots not balanced, we played three of them tonight. I don’t get it.

Did he haven’t been paying attention. That’s a good pick up for them. Adds toughness the pu$$y Leafs lack.😡

Going to be interesting what Lou does. He has the money and the team to go for it.

Brydon Coburn from the Senators. There’s the D depth we thought he would bring.
I like it. Veteran who won it last year with the Bolts.

Let’s (frank)ing hope so. We can’t eliminate the wieners if they bow out in the 1st round.

Like the trade. Big dude. Left handed shot. Been through a lot of battles. Big win tonight. Couldn’t lose both games to these guys.

Yeah I agree on. O urn and the win.

Pens scoop up Carter. Interesting for them if he meshes with Crosby.

I'm not sure he's gonna play much but maybe they want him in Dobson spot of Mayfield? Could be a pure depth move too
After thinking about it he probably doesn't play

Experienced but WAY past his prime. Decent insurance add considering the price.

I too doubt he’ll dress, unless the injury bug bites the blue line.

7th rounder. He’s perfect for depth incase of an injury.

Taylor Hall is a Bruin.

Well let's hope he keeps playing like he has been. East is stacking up at least the top 4 teams.

Well, if we have no more moves in store, which I doubt we do; I'm under no illusions about our team. We could cerrtainly get on a roll and go deep, but the reality is that even with the additions Palmieri and Zajac, I don't think we're as good as we were with Lee in the lineup. Perhaps if Wahlstrom catches fire again and they find the proper mix for the top line they can find their feet and become a force, but right now they don't look like a team ready to challenge for a cup. The only true blessing is they continually seem to find ways to win games no matter how poorly they play. Maybe they'll rise to the occassion against a Tampa Bay...we'll see

They always find a way to turn it up in the playoffs I'm not worried about that but you're right they do need to get on track here. Three days off is a good start

If the Isles clinch a PO spot Trotz may throw him out there occasionally to give Some of the guts a break before the PO Run.
