Sens overpaid here. Eklund is good but not that good.

Good move for the Blues.

I've read he didn't straight out request one, but he said he wouldn't be re-signing. Basically, a less formal trade request - especially when it came with a list of 4 teams he'd accept a trade to which was really just a list of one.

Even on a short-term deal . . . when goalies go, it often happens quickly. Doesn't take much more than a slight reduction in reaction time for them to turn from stars to duds. I'm worried that hit Bob last season. On top if that, unless Stolarz is also getting dealt, it just recreates the goalie...

Don't love the idea of Bobrovsky, especially considering the contract he's rumoured to be asking for. I get the thinking behind a change in net, but a 38 y/o goalie coming off a bad year looking for a 6 year deal? That's a no from me, dawg.

That doesn't get you a player Boston doesn't want to trade.

With all the extra cap space teams having, we're going to a few contracts that seem bloated compared to what we're used to. $5.75m is liek the new $4.5M

By much more, I basically mean a huge overpayment, because Boston was moving McAvoy without being blown away with an offer. Knies would likely have to have been included. One of Cowan and Danford, too. It would have been blowing up the future. Also, IIRC, McAvoy was injured at the time, so, it...

McAvoy would have cost a lot more. Tre knew who he was trading for, he just made a bad trade.

Well, the blueline is certainly going to look different next season. Big add. His underlying numbers were good last season and have largely been through the last few years.

No, it's payment to help rebuild

Lifting all sanctions on Iran, $300B+ in payments . . . it's basically capitulation.

Well, this was certainly not on anyone's radar... He's an interesting choice. Not sure I like it, but I don't hate it the way I would have with some of the other names that were out there.

Big picture is going to be very important when evaluating the moves this team makes in the offseason. I suspect this won't be the last move we're collective lukewarm on, but, if the sum of the moves makes the team better, that's all that really matters.

He also wasn't great for a good chunk of the season - not that he got any help from the team in front of him. Like I said earlier, I don't think he's ever going to the the guy. He's a solid part of a tandem, but, overall, his numbers are largely pretty average. I still would have kept him over...

Overall value is probably fair - Andrae for Benoit, 3rd and Ersson for Woll seems about right - and, likely, neither Woll or Stolarz are the guy for the Leafs long-term. Still, not a trade I would have made, but, I'm going to call it neither a good deal nor a bad deal. Just a meh one. We were...

I'm not sure I love moving Woll, but I do like moving Benoit for a more mobile defender.

Roy is the opposite of data-driven

Only if he’s bringing Seider with him
