Hextall laughs before hanging up.

I see what you did there with the RIsto trade. Your goal is to make the Pens worse. Very clever.

No to pens trade

The Pens don't need Jack Johnson 2.0, nor is he worth that price to anyone. Philly is not going to recoup what they spent.

Remove Greenway and 2nd rounder, take a prospect like khusnutdinov and call it good

I don't even know who Semyon Kizimov is, and I thought I knew all the Leafs prospects pretty well.

Either way, Leafs take this deal happily as Braun ticks off the boxes that this team needs for a playoff run this year, and his numbers consdering how bad the team has been lately speeks very highly of his defensive abilities. I think Philadelphia could get more for him at the TDL though, especially if they plan to retain 50% of his salary.

Honestly, I'm surprised his name isn't coming up more often in rumour mills.
