Wouldn't Sandin still be worth a late 1st at the draft? Should the Leafs have kept him for depth in the playoffs?

He'll goes to a contender, and his timeline doesn't fit us anyways. I wonder if Tarasenko and Kane might be too much of the same for the Rags.

Seems way below what Arizona was asking for Chychrun. Looks like a decent deal for the Sens.

Why are the Canucks sending a 1st rounder and other picks out to get Hronek? Maybe it's decent value but seems like poor timing for a team missing the playoffs.

A reunion with our old friend Phil. Hopefully he's leading a team good enough to beat us in regulation. Will there be any new faces/new departures by then?

Another 2 unwanted points. We're just too dang plucky for this tank.

Good to see the Oilers get a top defender. They can still be in for a 1st for Eddy next deadline. The 1st round in the Eastern conference will be a bloodbath with the top 6 loading up.

Great to see Guhle back out there! And for the Habs to be behind early.

We're acquiring a UFA. It's likely he would go to the open market and leave. That's why we're looking for future assets like picks and prospects for vets and expiring contracts.

Don't like this trade from either team's perspective. If Minny's dumping Dumba they can find a better return, and if we're dumping Eddy we can also look for something more useful longterm.

The Rangers get Patty Kane on a huge discount. This keeps happening for them! Maybe one day a good player will be Habs or bust, what a sweet day that would be!

4 point game in draft positioning. Gurianov makes his debut on Suzuki's wing, and we could see the return of Edmondson to the lineup. Late one for all the night owls on the eastern side of the continent.

Quite an active deadline so far! Eastern Conference teams are really loading up. Eddy's back wearing a contact jersey so maybe he's back in play...

Kravtsov seems like more of an unknown and thus more intriguing. Surprising that he went for basically nothing.

Gurianov looks about as good as the 6th rounder I was expecting.

Dammit we're winning again.

Hmm, would have rather seen Teasdale or Schnarr get some action with the big club. I don't really see the point of this pick up, but maybe Hughes thinks he's the next Pitlick.

Ottawa pays a 2nd rounder to dump the Zaitsev contract. If we didn't have so many bad contracts already we could be in on these cap dumps.

Maybe the call-up for one game was a distraction for Beck.

Another sweet feed from Suzy and a goal off the rush for Barron. He could be our Petry replacement, but with more powerplay ability. Jack Hughes is signed to what now looks like a sweetheart deal after not tearing it up during his ELC. Hischier on a reasonable deal as well. Slaf is probably not the same level of player, but maybe we'll get him longterm on at a nice number before he breaks out as well.

Also Ottawa giving a high pick in the Duchene deal.

I think a deeper lineup and actual first liners on his wings for an entire season will see Suzy score in the 80 point range. If Dubois comes here, a top 9 centred by PLD, Suzy and Dach is good enough to contend if we fill out the rest of the lineup right.

Bad advice from his agent, or he could just be plain DUMB. Luckily the Drouin era will soon be in the rearview, and if we're lucky we'll even get a conditional 6th rounder for our troubles.

In fairness the only reason we got him is because he's always injured.

Maybe the move with Eddy is to keep him for another season and hope he can fetch the Chiarot haul next deadline. It's a shame what's happened with Monahan, but he was damaged goods when we got him and we already got a 1st rounder to take him. I don't mind Commandant's idea of giving him one year with the hopes of sending him out next deadline, although the chances of him being healthy enough for that don't look great.
