Wait, who was that other poster that would automatically send pm's to everyone he disagreed with in a thread? It was years ago now, but I remember he'd pm basically every time he didn't like something someone said. Crap, that's gonna kill me now, haha.

You brought yourself into it.

So you are a returning poster. Which one? Mastaduhsomething?

A hypothetical over whether we will take Klingberg back as a return for Zadorov I think.

We can simply not accept a bad trade offer if you ask me. At 3.75 cap hit, that will be low enough at the deadline that we don't need to jump through hoops to make it work. Klingberg is Toronto's problem. Brad was after this player while he was still here. Well you have him, enjoy.

Mayhem over speculation on the first of many trades in the coming months. Gonna be a long season.

You’re not supposed to interact with the commentators and you’re not going to score any point with that attitude. Give us another “great observation, thanks” and get back in the game.

Honestly I would not have any player on your do not trade list with this team/franchise.

The Flames have assets and I definitely would start with all UFAs, but I think the biggest concern is Conroy being inexperienced as a GM and prior to that he was learning from Tre.

I get that the organization needs to get aligned that they have a long term plan and vision to remake this team, but Conroy needs to handle each deal with eyes on the future direction instead of a win now mentality.

Winning each trade is going to take time to see how the returns (players, prospects and picks) pan out.

Return to humble observing. Commentating isn’t your strong suit.

Eye on ball here, people: Klingberg sucks. His injuries have caught up to him and he is about to experience intense pain and anguish as the whipping boy of Leaf fans. Tre signed a dud and has to move him to upgrade his bad, thin, old D-corps.

Klingberg either accepts this and waives to go wherever will take him, he sits in the press box, or he gets booed mercilessly. That's the situation. His ice time metrics are evidence of nothing other than an attempt to make a bad signing work. Leafs brass has realized it won't. He's washed.

Bit of both.
You also don't want the atmosphere in the room to get so bad everyone hates being there and it's rubbing off on the young guys.
It's not a good situation for Wolf/Zary/Posp to be on a toxic team with no upside in site and everyone who should be leaders acting like fools.
Think of any workplace with 1 or 2 rotten apples; it can really destroy the job for everyone.

If I were the Colorado Avalanche, I would simply trade for Elias Lindholm.

Wow -- this is almost as exciting as watching a couple of kids in kindergarten.


No - wait...the kids are MORE funnerer.

I don't find the topic any more interesting than what color car Klingberg has. Whichever one of you is right will not prevent the implementation of any plan that Toronto has for changing their team.

It’s probably red.
