I'd say LA declines. The last time BOS traded a Vezina goaltender, it didn't work out so well for the other team................It still pains me to this day.........I can't even say Tuukka without tearing up

Why on Earth would Anaheim give up one of last years 1st round picks (thanks Boston!), and a 2nd this year for 2 years of Hall, when they won't even sniff the playoffs during that period? I like him as much as the next guy, but he'll be 32 next year, and is coming off what might be his worst offensive season, while playing on an absolute wagon of a team. Doesn't fit the time line.

Well, I was going to comment, but this says it perfectly.

Think you might be thinking of the Calder if you're talking about Raycroft...he didn't win the Vezina (finished 5th in voting). Neither Rask (retired as a B) or Thomas (signed as a UFA in Florida, then was traded to Dallas) were traded, and before that, Pete Peters (1983) was the last Bruin to win the Vezina.

I mean, I'd take him for nothing. He is fun. Just doesn't fit the timeline.

Sorry, yes you are correct...Calder it was. Unfortunately we traded Rask for Raycroft.........

All good...I had to look back because you had me convinced that I was missing someone

The wild part here is that Justin Pogge had a prolific-sized ceiling, which is why they had no issue trading Rask. His 05-06 season in the WHL & at the World Juniors was all-time good. It's a shame that he flamed out so quickly.

Interesting trades

Zero chance the Blues are interested in that.

That's an easy no for the blues. We are trying to get younger and retool. Trading for hall doesn't fill a need nor does it align with our future vision

At the time, I really believed in Pogge. And honestly, other than Potvin, the Leafs had a bad rap of destroying young goalies, so I was ok with the move. But it sure backfired. It's right up there with Kessel for Seguin and Hamilton............

why?

Not really a need for Hathaway, could spend that money elsewhere

Berts gonna demand much more than that unfortunately

No need for Nedel, gotta save as much money as possible, just use Bussi as backup

Lucic would be a fan service

Love all these Trades for BOS, but doubt any of those teams accept

All the reasons. Don't have the cap. Don't need any wingers. Don't want one way players. Don't want to trade Bolduc. Hall isn't consistent. Hall is over 30. All the other reasons I forgot.

Yeah, Brian Burke masterclass right there on Kessel. One of my happiest moments as a Ducks fan was when he left town.
