You would hope CP will learn a lesson from this UFA sell-off. That 95 per cent of rumoured deals are wildly unrealistic speculation. The NHL market is clinical and calculating, and GMs can’t use bargaining skillz to extract more assets from other teams. And top prospects are almost never traded anymore unless it’s for another top prospect.

But who are we kidding. It will happen against next season. Fans will speculate about turning Mangiapane into a 1st and one of a team’s better prospects. That speculation will transform into a rumoured deal. Posters who suggest realistic returns will be ridiculed and dogpiled. And when Mangiapane ends up returning a 2nd and a 4th, people will complain that Conroy should have traded harder.
