I’m assuming that means Foote is protected. Also it would be hilarious if with all those good, expensive players available, Seattle screwed over the Bolts and just picked Barré-Boulet.

Suddenly the McCann trade seems increasingly stupid

Yeah, I thought they would too. Now they could lose McCann for nothing. I'm hoping for Toronto that Seattle takes Kerfoot.

Seattle now has a dilemna, help Tampa’s cap situation or pick a worse player unless there’s a side deal.

Also interesting Leafs, i guess trading for McCann was cheaper than trading with Seattle and now either you traded for McCann to keep him or to not lose Kerfoot. I guess that works

Well I’m not sure that picking Barré-Boulet is that much worse than the other options. Depends if you’re able to flip a Gourde or McDonagh for more though I guess.

Maybe there’s a side deal with Seattle

Toronto could side deal for ensuring Kerfoot is take for example;

Hallander + 7th but the

Kerfoot attached with like a 4th let’s say to pick Kerfoot over McCann.

Not like their asking for Seattle to take a cap dump. Kerfoot would be a serviceable middle 6 guys for them immediately.

It’d really be:

Hallander Kerfoot 4th 7th

For

McCann

When are the lists coming out?

Pierre LeBrun made a tweet saying they will be officially released late morning. Sometime before noon ET.

Late morning EST - could be in a hour plus change or in 30 minutes we don’t know

I heard somewhere it was 10 am, so keep your eyes peeled

10 am EST right? Because it’s already 10:35 here.

yes, thanks for clarifying

so 24 minutes roughly

So I suppose Dubas decided to pay Hållander+7th to effectively keep Kerfoot from being picked.

It's 4.35 PM here lol

EST is the only timezone that matters change my mind

I agree

I feel left out

McDonagh may be protected, Hedman, Sergachev, Cernak should be locks but they may protect McDonagh over Foote, we’ll see

Don’t worry Finland is like Canada, cold really cold usually

This is what I think Dubas was thinking

One of Kerfoot or McCann will be picked. Whoever they don't pick will be 3C.

If McCann gets picked, the Leafs basically paid Hallander and a 7th to protect Kerfoot

W

SAY THAT TO MY THERMOMETER HITTING 31C or 87F

Same here

Fahrenheit isn’t a thing, change my mind, also us in Canada can get up to 40C
