STL is the only one accepting.

Everyone decline, those trades are not even close.

Blackmail other gms?

I was going to say something along the lines of "Roofie 3 GMs, and steal their players?"

They could have had Vesey for nothing on July 1st...Plenty of 3rd/4th line UFA's still out there.

Welcome to CapFriendly.

I think you seriously underestimate a #1 RD's value, especially an All-Star's, if you think a mid-round first and former mid-round first who has yet to play a game in the NHL are enough to acquire Seth Jones.

Uhh no they are not.

Blue jackets counter with Gavrikov and a 1st round pick for Matthews

I think that you and the OP are two of the very few people on CapFriendly who think that a guy who was signed as a free agent for $900,000 is worth a third-round pick.

I take that every day. You guys can have Matthews, and that first round pick has potential to become better then Matthews.

But they are getting 2 assets and the leafs are only getting back one. It's a 2 for 1 deal.

It depends upon who the "1" is. You wouldn't trade Sandin and the first for Denis Savard, would you? You don't think Sandin and a first for Victor Hedman or Alex Pietrangelo is fair, do you?

Sounds good

This Caps fan agrees with you on where Wilson and Panik fit into the Leafs' lineup if they want guys who can crash the net, get pucks out of corners, and score some dirty goals.

But Wilson isn't likely available without one of the big four heading back.

What do you think is the value of Panik, alone?

eta: a lot of Caps fans are happy trading him for a 3rd round pick, just for the sake of cap flexibility.

What I would do if I was Kekkalainen...Decline

what if we added in matthews and rielly?

The music is sounding sweeter by the minute. "Kyle, this is Jarmo, please pay no attention to that guy that answered the phone, he is a janitor they found to screen my calls. I accept. You can even keep the 1st. Or Sandin". LOL
