I mentioned McCann the other day, plays both C and W - 2yrs left @ $5M, 28 yrs old
Solid 200-ft game

McCann is really solid, but I don't see why the Kraken would get rid of him.

Kypreous said the Leafs might not make a push for Rantannen if it cost them, say, a Matthew Knies. LOL
Typical Leaf fan, overrating his players. If managment thinks like that too, great.Are they trying to win a Cup or not? Sure Knies is a nice piece. And sure,Rantannen appears to be in a funk. But he has the potential of exploding at the right time and delivering this spring. Even if he then leaves the organization. Knies, not so much.

I wouldn't trade Knies for Rantanen either.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Great deal for the Oilers. Their bottom 6 was too small, too easy to push around, didn't score or do anything particularly well, and had no identity. Now they have added 2 big physical specimens.

If you're in win now mode you would.

Of course you would, you have no interest in their well being.
You don't trade Knies for a rental. He's 22, might score 30 goals this year, plays with grit. No way I'd do that.

If you're the Leafs, who haven't won a game that matters in going on 58 years, with 34 and 16 in their prime and 91 on the cusp of being washed, you do that deal every day of the week and twice on a Sunday if you care about winning this year. Unlike the Habs, for them, the future is NOW. If you get Rants and win the Cup, no one will give a shit that it cost you Knies to get it. And if you don't get Rants and you get bounced in the first round again, nobody will give a shit that you kept Knies "for the future". It will simply be another year of failure.
