Why trade Brodie? And for such a small return? He should net a 1st.

Nylander's worth more than that.

Two trades that non Leaf teams just wouldn't too. More crazy extension talk to base a trade. Brodie waives?

how do you not get rid of matt Murray

He's on LTIR

Nobody is trading a 1st for Brodie. At best a 2nd round pick.

Agree to disagree.

Gee, he wasn't in the last playoff games....

He was taken off the LTIR list on May 9, and he probably won't be on it when the season starts.

The new GM will have a brief discussion with him. He'll sit beside Muzzin all year in the press box. I'm sure he'll be fine with it. He doesn't look like a guy who wants to play hockey.

So you'll cheat. Okay, just so we all know.

It's not cheating. It's a recognition of who Murray is at this stage in his career. He can't be relied upon to stay healthy. It doesn't matter if he's ready to go for October because the past three seasons have shown that he breaks down quickly and often.

It IS cheating. You can't stash an able-bodied player on the LTIR list unless he's physically unable to play and can't pass a medical exam. You can lose a first-round draft pick and credibility all around the League if you get caught doing that.

This is a special scenario.

All crimes are.

It's not a crime when there isn't a victim.

This is purely a hockey and financial decision.

Thata's utter and dishonest nonsense, and you know better. All 31 teams are victims when a team circumvents the cap rules that they are playing by and you aren't.

Then Vegas and Tampa are equally guilty for stashing Kucherov and Stone until the playoffs and loaded up at the deadline.

Every team would circumvent the cap if it was in their interest, and some have very openly.
