Sujet: Tearing It Down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>danielcoe</b></div><div>Well Mr. planner first you need to fine a french Canadien GM who has experience at the NHL level.. and who is available.... which is probably non-existent.. and then you can help molson pay the 20 million(or some such number) that is owed to Bergevin.... Gm make what star players make now so Bergevin is going nowhere this year and if he does a good job with the re-build he is going no where next year either...... go back and look at the regular seasons montreal had two and three years ago when we were supposed to be re-building and then remember why Bergevin got his extension in the first place.... you have opinions but you don't has a feasible replacement who would definitely be better to offset the millions Molson will have to pay Bergevin... reality is not the same as passionate fan talk.</div></div>

I'mean not bilingual, but as a sports fan, I would rather have competency in a different language than ineptitude in my own tongue.

Sujet: Making Karlsson fit
Thanks for the feedback. It's a tough one. Here's some of my reasoning. The fact that Karlsson is going to leave takes some of the leverage Ottawa carries. The package I sent gives a top 3 offensive defenseman for now, a top defensive prospect for the near future, some young forward depth, veteran Hall of Fame forward depth on his final year (which is almost nothing in real $), a 2019 first to replace the one giving for Brassard, and a 2020 second. That is quite the package for one player who is a glorified rental at the time of the trade.
If Bobby Ryan came back in the trade, it would take away from Ottawa's return, and the Leafs wouldn't be able to make the cap dollars work.
Hyman was traded because of his replaceable traits and more importantly his cap hit. Absorbing Karlsson's cap hit requires cheap roster supplementation, which is where Grundstrom came in.
Richardson was a cap dump really, his cap hit was able to be buried, but Hyman was obviously the better player. Arizona basically did the Leafs a favour while gaining a pick and a player to reach the cap FL.
