Lefty could be the equipment manager. Just make sure his office is far from the dumpster.

I will be rooting for Mrazek. Need that conditional pick. Go Mrazek go! Tear it up son.

Intelligent response. You’ve been on a roll insulting people and breaking rules. Keep it up and you might end up on the Philly forums with Mrazek.

Darren Helm isn't a bad player. Darren Helm isn't worth his contract. One or two guys making $500k too much isn't a killer. 10-12 guys making $500k too much is. So if you can move any of those guys, you do it. I hope the Bruins take Helm and Babs gets his man crush back and the Leafs take Glendogmillionaire. Replace both with guys making reasonable salaries, and you're in better shape.

Vegas could have got him for free and passed and Philly didnt want him a week ago. It took a playoff team losing both goalies for Mrazek to have any type of trade value. He was never going to stay in Detroit so might as well get something for him while you can.

Well, this did seem likely to happen. Would have preferred to keep him and see if he continued his resurgence, but I do think it was unlikely that we were going to qualify him, so if that was the decision then I do think they took advantage of probably the only opportunity get a return for him. The goalie market and Mrazek's value did seem to be weak and it took the duo injuries to even get that much. A 4th ain't much, but I think that'll be a 3rd since I think he'll win 5 games and they'll make the playoffs. But they'll probably play the Pens in the 1st round so I don't think it'll turn into a 2nd. And, I doubt they re-sign him with their duo so I'm betting it's just a 3rd, which is an okayish return. So, who do we call up? Coreau? - that would help our draft odds, haha (edit: apparently he was just named the AHL player of the week, though)

Taboo points to talk about: I actually think Holland has been exceptionally good at selling for a man who's never had to. In my work experience buying takes a whole different attitude than selling. Ive been pretty impressed by Holland's ability and activeness on the market, for who a guy who's almost always been in the other camp. I still question his buying ability thou

If Mrazek hadn't spent most of the last two years looking like an AHL goalie he wouldn't have had to worry about it. I'm guessing this means they had no intention of qualifying him this summer, so they got at least a 4th for a guy they were going to lose for nothing later, and potentially quite a bit more. 4th (or more) > nothing, especially when there isn't much of a market for goalies. Holland did a good job.

I like it actually, getting something besides him just walking.

Brutal...

There is no such rumor. He met with Toronto and Sabres and declined any further meetings and immediately signed with Tampa. He got cold feet basically and realized the grass is not greener.

Green Willing To Waive NTC, Bruins Kicking The Tires On Darren Helm I know some folks will be excited to hear about Helm Happy firesale everyone!

We should be scouts. Eventually GMs

Ken Holland does it all.

Stop you're making me blush.

Well you know who we should be rooting for in playoffs!

Nope but it's nice to see you being the ass you always are on here.

Lol nice Was only expecting one pick Kens gonna impress at the deadline again this year

i dont think anyone in the league wants neilsens or abby contract no matter the trade unless were taking a salary dump in return or adding picks

I think it's the closest place to home besides the Maple Leafs. The Leafs can't afford him (they have no cap space). You're underestimating how many teams can actually afford Tavares. There's not that many. It will mostly likely be that he either stays with the Islanders or signs with a non-contender. Welcome to the cap world.

God I hope we trade a goalie to the Flyers. This is the perfect opportunity to clear cap space.

A) There is really no such thing as big time free agents B) When it comes to top tier UFA's, we have landed plenty. The year Alfie came here, he was I believe a top 5 UFA. Weiss was also top 5 Green was ranked #1 Nielsen was ranked top 5 You can criticize the results, sure. But they were all top UFA's who we went after and got. Just because Suter chose Minny over us doesn't mean nobody wants to come here. Sorry, but i hate when people push this false narrative.

He's not worth the $4 million dollar qualifier. Holland knows this. 30 other teams know this. Which means he will be UFA in July Aren't you supposed to trade players you know will become UFAs when you're not playoff bound?

Fandom doesn't factor in for me, it's just common sense. IF you can trade the older, more expensive and materially no better goalie and keep the younger, cheaper, no worse goalie.... who still has potential to be elite. You take the chance.

Howard is beyond safe. Keep dreamin nerds.
