" Experts" seem to think the Oilers will find a home for Darnell Nurse and Knights a home for Adin Hill.

I don't get it, seeing as how both are expensive and cooked.

Thank you Cliff, for making the single greatest aquisition in the history of the Toronto Maple Leafs that forever changed the direction of the franchaise.

Yes, Jeff Finger's signing changed everything.

Treliving uses one of the picks in the Knies deal to acquire Nurse with zero retention.

Is this referring to brodie and jank for Kadri? That would have been much better than Barrie and Kerfoot was.

 

[zeke]

Still lose that trade tho.

 

[zeke]

But related - we could have got jankowski for peanuts instead of 1st for laughton and jank is kinda a great 4c.

Rest in peace, Fletch.

Gave me one of the best eras of Leafs hockey. Probably responsible for making me as obsessed as I am. Those Gilmour and Sundin trades were pure drugs.

The deal with Edmonton to get Fuhr, Anderson, and Burube was good too.

Having that extra year of peak Brodie and the Leafs likely get by CBJ in 2020. If it was Vegas targeting him they would have tampered & targeted another player knowing he would sign in free agency...

Andreychuk.

Having peak Brodie against Florida last year was an automatic win and probably automatic cup.

Andreychuk.

That was the follow-up trade to Buffalo for Andreychuk and Pupa once Potvin became a starter.
