"If the Leafs lose to Columbus, we'll take the Blues best RD, and leave them in a much worse situation because they still won't be able to sign Pietrangelo, and then, we'll send the Ducks a 3rd line winger that they don't need!, and take solid pick in a solid draft for him! HUZZAH! MAKE TORONTO GREAT AGAIN!"

Do you guys even need forwards? I mean, Thomas, Tarasenko, O'Reilly, Schenn, Perron had a sneaky good year, Schwartz is pretty good...Seems to me that scoring is probably not high up on your list of offseason priorities...

The 36th overall pick for a guy most frequently traded for 3rd rounders on this site... what a deal. How about Laffy getting a 1 year ELC, I know he's supposed to be really special but had no idea he was gonna be the first 18 year old to sign a 1 year ELC under this CBA!

All we really need this offseason is to bridge Dunn and then next season gotta figure out if any of Kyrou, Kostin, Blais, Sanford can replace Perron or Schwartz in the top 6 if they walk in FA or if we can't afford their next deals. Oh, and the Pietrangelo mess. But no where on the list is "listen to offers on Parayko".

Yup. Think your best bet is to let Pietrangelo walk (Which is painful), and try to move Allen without paying to dump him. Faulk isn't as bad as he looked this year, and Allen's numbers should get a bit of interest.

All due respect, the Blues could lose their captain to free agency. Parayko is under contract for two more seasons at a respectable cap friendly value of $5.5 M. The Blues don’t need another forward making nearly $8 M. Nylander for Parayko straight up won’t do it.

The Leafs can win the next two games, but it will take a Herculean effort “team wise” to do it. What is overlooked is a short series ( 5 games) is momentum. Columbus coming back from 3 goals down resonates as momentum. Game 3’s miss opportunity now has the Leafs chasing momentum. They need to score first in game 4.

Not sure why you quoted me? I'm 100% on the same page as you here my man

Ducks will give you a 5th. That’s it
