eeeeeeeeeek

no.

You got the Canes trade right

But I’m boooored

Matthews starts with Jones and PLD... Columbus can’t afford to make either trade without taking out core core players.

Any Matthews trade is kinda dumb as Toronto would have to win and send Matthews to a good team, but that good team would have to move more core players then I might be worth to add 1 player, which fills a hole, but opens others.

what is it with leafs fans trading matthews?

Nope... he got nothing right.

Canucks fan...

Nope,

Bjorkstrand>>>Dubois

it seems like canes fans think nylander is garbage & pesce should win the norris

on the flip side, leafs fans seem 2 think nylander is a top 20 winger in the league ( which hes not)

Same response to recent post on Dubois/Jones/1st for Matthews/Lillegren:

Columbus is a small market team, and they have constraints in competing with large market teams such as Boston, NYR, and Leafs when it comes to spending up at the top end of the cap.
They have managed their business very well over the last decade or so.
They have drafted and developed their own talent EXTREMELY WELL over the last 7-8 years.
They have found true NHL'ers in later rounds of the draft.
They have signed their players to decent contracts, and been willing to part with top end talent (Bob) to ensure not overpaying for players and keeping money available to support future contracts and protect against the occasional rogue offer sheet.
The last thing CBJ plans on doing is trading their top 2-3 players and very high draft picks for 1 impact player.
It is not going to happen.
They are going to continue doing what they have done, enjoy the fruits of their labor, and stick to their game plan.
Drafting and developing, and building a team of very good players that mesh well together, compete hard, and have depth of talent at each position throughout the organ-I-zation

VAN decline.
