The big winners with these moves are Boeser, Ehlers and Gavikrov. Will get terrible contracts tomorrow.

Trading Kadri and Andersson helps us to draft top 5 next season for sure. May be we can do this year's NYI type draft next year and drat top 3 with 2 more mid 1st draft to turn around quickly our retool.

Vegas is rapidly climbing to the top of my most-hated-team list. #### them.

Then why are they changing it? Your information is old and wrong.

The Leafs have nothing to offer us and the only people talking about Kadri to the Leafs are rumour sites and fans. Don't expect Kadri to be going anywhere. The Leafs are sticking to their plan nicely, they don't need Kadri.

Nice weather as long as you don't go too deep into the playoffs. In June, you're pretty much stepping out of the arena and straight onto the surface of the sun.

Every day, the people of Las Vegas should bow their heads and give thanks to the god who created their city: Willis H. Carrier.

I wish the Flames were in a position to 'cheat', bend the rules, and find loopholes to put them over the top. I'd love to have a grimy GM that would do anything and everything to improve the team.

The hate between Marner the Leafs and fans is amazing. Surprised it lasted this long.

I am still confused by this for Toronto

Why bother?

Is Nicolas Roy better than, say, the cap space?

Roy is a pretty decent third-line center. Leafs needed a third-line center.

Leafs fans went easy on him. Playoffs he was soft as ####. Him and Matthews didn't drive a competitive culture at all.

To me Matthews is the problem

Brad says he wants to change the DNA

Matthews is the one who misplayed the Gold winner in 4 Nations, and disappeared in the playoffs.

But they stripped Tavares and gave him the C

So two things don’t change

- Tre loses a star, and in this case not technically for nothing but for a pretty underwhelming return, a role player
- Tre is a yapper

Marner said he was asked to waive for Carolina but had no interest in signing with them and wouldn’t waive with a newborn on the way. They heard Toronto approached Vegas on a 3 way deal and that’s when he found out they were interested. That’s his he knew Vegas was his #1 choice but he had others. Vegas didn’t want to compete in free agency for him and wanted to lower the AAV.

Marner stating that he and his wife were talking to other Vegas players at the 4 nations. Guy was already checked out.
