Canes decline. Hamilton is a top five RD in the league, and Carolina isn't going to give him up.

Only way i see hamilton being dealt, is at the deadline if he's made it clear he will not re-sign with the canes...

sorry I should have specified that this is a trade deadline trade if hamilton won't resign

Canes still get way better offers from other teams

For a pending ufa at the trade deadline? Not a chance. Name an offer that’s better. Leafs decline anyway the cap doesn’t work next season and nylander is younger and signed long term for less than what doggie will sign for.

the thing with trades like this, is that the leafs don't need a 'name', they have Rielly (a top 10 offensive dman in the NHL, when he's healthy). With a solid guy like Brodie to back him up, I expect a career year out of him

Behind him we have Muzzin, a seriously dependable guy, very underrated and arguably better than Rielly.

After that, we've got Dermott, a solid player who's young enough to continue to grow. Sandin who's an outstanding prospect, Holl who's semi decent

If the leafs are upgrading their blueline further, it's to get some more solid, dependable guys, not Hamilton or Doughty calibre players. We already have our #1 superstar name, it's Rielly, we don't need another. Not to mention he's up for extension in a couple seasons

Never mind the stuff we'd have to give UP to get those guys (i.e. Marner/Nylander, tons of picks etc.), it's just not worth it.

Zero chance the Wild trade Ek for that.

From who? Who is giving up more than this for a rental? Absolute stupity.


Lol... leafs would never do this. Nylander for a pending ufa??? Ridiculous.

I don't see the canes doing a dougie trade unless they get a starting goalie back

MIN rejects

why

why

Could at least a 2nd rounder for him. He's played well and is still young.

I can't imagine you honestly think that package gets you Eriksson Ek?
