*Assuming Columbus gets bedard*

Missing Chinakhov and I sincerely doubt Foudy has a place in the lineup next year. They'll also be adding Voronkov and potentially have Texier returning next year. Danforth also needs to be considered as he is a very important 4th liner. No chance he would be buried in Cleveland. They'd also likely play Blankenburg on the left side over signing Holden. He would also be wasted in Cleveland.

Yeah, beating the Leafs in Toronto on Saturday probably killed that dream.

Nyquist doesn't get that. He is out till Playoffs at least, and probably gets a conditional 7th based on how many playoff games he plays

I think Beating the Leafs after beating the Caines and Oilers probably killed that dream or was it not being able to hear your own cannon at home?

Don’t worry about life with Bedard because he’s going to Chicago. The NHL will make sure of it

My dude, we'd be happy to lose every game from here out. What do I care if the cannon goes off if its silence means the best chance for first overall? Have fun with Tampa. Hope they don't troll Bunting into nonstop PP opportunities.
