The reported request for Chychrun is a high-quality roster player (which Puljujarvi certainly is, of course), an A prospect, a first-round draft pick, and something extra.

Leafs take that and run, I'd trade Kase for a 5th

I think hagelin will LTIRetire. Eye injury was serious, he’s trying to come back but sounds like he won’t be able to.

Easy decline from Chicago

This is really unnecessary for CHI to do. We have Murphy and Jones currently who are the 2 RD. Yes Murphy may get moved if a fair price is met but we don't want Barrie or his cap in our rebuild and we don't want to give up assets for Barrie. Raddysh looked good in his 20 games and the 3rd holds greater value to us currently than Barrie.
