Quoting: CD282
I'm not sure what's crazier - (1) comparing Kostin based on insane shooting luck or (2) expecting the Flames to trade Toffoli to Edmonton.
Either way, Edmonton couldn't afford the deals. Kostin isn't worth a $2.5M x 2 cap hit and the Oilers were moving Yamamoto for cap space and couldn't have taken on Toffoli's $4M AAV anyway.
And the "scooping Devils" part refers to signing McLeod and Bastian.
Thinking that Conroy wouldn't trade Toffoli to the Oilers if Holland beats Fitzgerald's offer is craziest. That's a stupid narrative that's been proven untrue repeatedly. Staios, Brossoit, Lucic c'mon, enough of that B.S
Yamamoto, Kulak, 23 2nd, 24 1st, 25 3rd probably gets Toffoli with some retention. Broberg gets his ice time, and the $ works.
Oh, then maybe Calgary trades Hanifin to Boston for an absolute Hall + (Get It? LoL) Boston native for Calgary native that was an Oilers 1st overall, Conroy's all in the news n stuff. Could've been a beautiful thing. I'm just joking around, don't get butt hurt anybody.
Lucky Kostin RS,
Lucky Kostin PO, was just lucky all season and the playoffs eh? ridiculous
But, I think Kostin is worth 2.5 x 2, so nana a boo boo lmao jk. Could've been $2,183,333 x 1 with a Yams buyout too apparently according to reports. I don't believe Yamamoto needed to be bought out or have a sweetener added. IMO Holland is dumb and lazy, but let's revisit after next season and see what Kostin's worth.
I knew what you meant by "scoop". Did Holland? Nope nothing, because like I said "Fitzgerald, for a 3rd and Sharangovich vs Yamamoto got Toffoli. The idea of Holland scooping anything? Hilarious"
Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald is good at his job, and Oilers GM Ken Holland is bad at his IMO
