So, CHI and TOR fans are just going to do this debate every day?

Swap future captain Reese Johnson for Hardman and I like it

We aren't paying the Blackhawks for capdumps.

For the Canes trade, you might as well just drop the picks. Canes accept regardless, but the pick swap is unnecessary.

I dont see anyone giving up a 1st for Murphy, let alone a 1st + a 2nd + a prospect

AND as a pending UFA.

I don’t think Canes accept either way, and it has everything to do with Kub fit and QOs. Feels a bit like trading one contract issue foe another which is higher. Does Kub fit in our system?

Risto wasnt hurt all of the time and is still highly regarded by NHL gms, Murphy is not.

I say pass from EDM. Really not a fan of Strome at all and certainly not going to give up Puljujarvi+ for him.

I like it. Leafs say yes

I think you could just drop the picks and do a straight swap with Bear for Kubalik. It's a good trade for both teams regardless

To be fair, most, if not all of that thread, was people absolutely pissing themselves laughing at how unbelievably bad that trade was. I don't think you can use it as a blueprint for future trades.

Risto stunk and everyone knew it except 1 fool. And Murphy isn't hurt all the time. It's not like there's this nagging injury that keeps him from playing.

Fair

What's Murphys deal with the concussion? I thought he had a bad one recently. Only asking, I believe Skinner had 3 before we acquired him, and his noggin has not been a problem.

Don’t know why you would consider McCabe a cap dump. Tyler Johnson at 2.5 is what I would call a fair value. In any case it would address your need for a LD, and Johnson can be a good bottom 6 player.

Because both players struggled in their roles. TJ’s value has sunk like a stone.

Id be okay with the CAR and BUF deals but id be reluctant for the others.

I think he's a cheaper option for a sniper. 100% agreed nothing is guaranteed that he'll get back to his 30 goal season, but he is a goal scorer with a heck of a shot and isn't afraid to crash the net. He's trying to improve on his defense, but thats one of his knocks imo. Is he a fit for CAR? He's the cheap option if you want to go that route. Not the 1st option, but if you want to keep Morrow and Necas...not exactly a ton of options available then.

Future captain. LMAO!

The true Reese Johnson truthers know. Davidson loves him it’s going to happen.

Well... Good for Reese, I think. lol
