Carolina is really just steamrolling through the playoffs. Must be nice to not have to face Boston Tampa or Florida out of the gate every season.

I don't like all this innuendo and rumour talk but if your best player doesn't respect the coach then this seems to be an open and shut case to say goodbye to Berube. You can easily replace a coach, you can't easily replace a Matthews.

Great goaltending did.

I dream that somehow they can swindle Edmonton to take on Stolarz. I'd even be fine if they did some salary retention.

For sure - except this kind of trade will never happen again.

https://grantland.com/the-triangle/were-no-1-the-history-of-trading-the-nhls-top-pick/ Just something to think about.

That maybe you only get 2-4 years out of depending on contract and UFA status. And keep in mind I'm not talking about Kessel as a player here - I'm just using this as an analogy.

You also realize by getting an established player you're likely losing 5-7 years as that player will likely be 24+ years old. It's the Kessel falacy again but sub a defenceman for Kessel in this case.

In my fantasy land, somehow Nylander is traded for a defenceman. I get the temptation. Turn the pick into a haul. But that same logic (to a different extent) was bandied about when Marner left and the vapspace could be turned into 3-4 good players - and we all saw how that turned out. But...

No. Just draft the 1st overall pick. Don't Galaxy brain this.

He won't. Not with this.

Is it that simple though? I heard something on the radio that the flyers have gone to the league to complain about this.

How quickly an outlook can change. I couldn't have been more down on this franchise a few hours ago.

Awesome

I can see the value in that but if McKenna is what he is projected to be and you can turn Nylander into a younger legit #1 defenceman, I could be on board with that. I don't want to see these guys getting too cute with this opportunity.

Well I'll take the good news in what's otherwise been a depressing season.

So how long before the tweets about a conspiracy?

Holy shit

True. Forgot about that

From my perspective, my main issue is lack of respect the league seems to have for him. The Leafs already seem to get no favour from the league, and to have him as the Leafs main conduit to the league feels like a recipe for disaster. I could of course be making something out of nothing.
