Poitras and Toronto's 1st.

I can live without Lohrei cause we need a spot for Zayne.

He's a LD, so he'd replace Bean/Hanley

[the-rasta-masta]

I can’t imagine a deal is imminent if he’s playing. Flames management would be stupid to accommodate a request for one more game if a deal was done. That would be a fireable offence if he got injured.

This stupid trade!!

That would make even less sense. If a dude is about to be locked up, it matters less than if you're bringing in a guy as a rental who then gets hurt.

For those of us looking into a thread for the first time and seeing a gazillion posts about he's essentially been traded...Boston no Washington no here's a horse gif now zoom into a place by the sea....

....what's essentially the coles notes version of what's going on?

I don't know, I feel Lohrei would have helped with the L-R balance though. Would have been a nice addition to Bahl and Kuznetsov, right age too. I probably like Poitras more than others on here, but certainly hoped for another asset along with him. If it's Poitras and a 1st, I'd say it's "just" fine.

I'd do a Hanley - Lohrei swap or at least push for that.

Lohrei, Poitras, Leafs 1st

Andersson, Hanley

Move on, nothing to see here.

Or he wants to play one more game at home. I don't have any other confirmation on Boston but there is enough smoke to believe it is.

Fair.

That is the Coles notes version.

100%. Only makes sense if he dresses, takes a lap, and then heads back to dressing room

[Johnny Makarov]

Pretty sure he is going into his storage unit to move his crap!

with some moving help

[The Yen Man]

It'll probably be a good idea to avoid the game day thread today with the amount of hand wringing that will inevitably be going on in there every time Ras is on the ice.

[Naitix]

I do not think a 1st + Poitras does it, I think Lohrei will be included, especially as there is an extension attached to this as rumoured by many people at this point

[Roko]

Boston still feels like a weird hockey choice to me

And rightly so. It is very low odds but him being injured badly but would be a genuine fork in the road for the flames, basically losing what sounds like two 1sts for a meaningless game.


But as others have said if the deal isn't close you can't hold him out, it just doesnt work that way and it sounds like a deal isn't close

That sounds like a good reason to read the game thread for once.

[Buff]

That look an Ras' face...

Clearly it means something.

He's wondering if he left the stove on.
