2018 NHL Draft Thread

Lebrun reporting that a meeting between Lindholm and the Canes on an extension did not go well and there's now a distinct possibility that he's on the move.
 
Few rumblings:
Leafs shopping Gardiner
Sens shopping Anderson
Kovalchuk to SJ/LA/Vegas/Bruins (Bruins have best offer)
Habs getting offers on their 1st
 
As for Tavares, Isles tabled a new 8 year offer yesterday and are awaiting a response. Most believe Tavares is staying or would prefer the west coast (San Jose/Vegas). The Leafs are 100% interested in Tavares, can they do a solid sales pitch?
 
Wayne Simmonds is available. I know he was hurt last year a lot... But that guy would be what we wanted jvr to be...a true power forward that would be a beast here.

I taught at the elementary school he attended in Scarborough. I'd do gards for Simmonds.

I think tavares already has his mind made up ... he already knows what he wants to do. Its not like his agent hasnt already gauged the interest and money from the teams he is most interested in.
 
Love simmonds love the guy, but i wonder if his body can hold up to the game he plays.
Love to see him on the wing with matthews and marner

Would have to be a 3 way somehow, I can't see Philly giving a damn about a LHD with Ghost, Provorov and a bag of talented kids in house.

I'd also prefer a longer term asset(s) for Gardiner. I have as little interest in a 6+ million dollar contract for a 190 pound power forward closing in on 30 as I do in one on JVR or Gardiner.

He is the right type of nasty that I'd love in our top 6 though, but the wrong mileage and contract situaiton.
 
Also. If Calgary really wants into the first round..I could see Dougie being offered for the tenth plus something else.

As stupid as it is Edmonton and Calgary wont deal with each other

Oh just realized chia was the one who got rid of Dougie.....never mind.

What about a three way of Dougie for gards and a second and then gards gets flipped to Edmonton plus something else or the second we gave..

Tor...gards and a second
Calgary...Dougie to Toronto
Ed...gards and Toronto's 2nd.

Hamonic's name is out there again.

Think Dubas casts the rod back there?

Tavares will decide tomorrow whether or not to test interview period. Most believe he re-signs tomorrow

If they need a sales pitch we don't have a chance.

Interesting advanced statistics case. Tire fire the last 2 seasons if memory serves, solidish against really hard competition before that. Could probably get him for cheap and with some retained salary. Interesting 2nd pairing guy I think, but I'd want to really take a look at the possession/competition numbers before I was really comfortable saying that.

FWIW, I don't think it was Dubas casting the rod last time.
