Sujet: No room for Bo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jerdog666</b></div><div>We know it can be done. Van has shed several "unwanted" contracts in the past. But it is usually at a price (draft picks). This season is already written off, so no need to explore moves like that until the summer when teams have room to play with their cap space.

I don't know if it is possible, but I like the idea of trading Bo as a "playoff rental" and then resigning him in the off season. Toronto could use a Matthews replacement and they have no cap space to keep Bo long term, maybe there's deal to be made.</div></div>

The trade and re-sign in the off-season rarely works out. Bo wants playoffs, he wants to win. Once he hits free agency, he's going to have a number of teams in on him, likely offering more than Van. And if it's a team that's closer to Stanley cup contention, there's no way he comes back to Van.

So, trade Bo now (sign and trade to get more if you can). Or trade Brock for pennies and lock Bo up long term to a Miller type deal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>To clarify Pageau was the right move at the time. But he should’ve had Ottawa taking back Leo and Hickey in the deal. That way he could’ve kept Toews.

Of course he could’ve just traded his first to dump Ladd instead of moving Toews for scraps and trading a first for Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac smh. Honestly Zajac may have been the better player in the deal that year lmao.</div></div>

The Toews deal is going to sting for a long time. Friendly contract too.

Interesting on the pageau deal. Tough to send bad contracts back at the trade deadline without grossly overpaying but yeah give ottawa an extra pick to take on hickey, Leo or that first with Ladd. They were stockpiling picks at that time, I'm sure they would have done it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>I actually edited the post cause I didn’t feel I elaborated well on it lol. Basically this entire team is Garth Snow’s baby and Lou dropped that baby on it’s head lol. Every young player in NY. Barzal, Beauvillier, and Wahlstrom in particular are Snow’s guys. Lou doesn’t even deserve credit for his first round picks in 2018. Garth played with Wally’s dad in college and everyone knew Snow wanted Dobson back then.

Lou won’t make another move cause he is terrified of ****ing up again. He’s like a kid trying to clean up a mess before mom and dad come home. But everything still looks a little ****ed up after he’s done lmao.</div></div>

What has Lou done but traded for former Devil's who just take up room on their salary cap?
