As expected...Pretty much eats up the $$$ that Marleau would've of cost them. EDIT - the Leafs just a pube under $7 mill to sign Marner, and a few others. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/mapleleafs

Looked at TSN - so far there's nothing that indicates that this is a done deal...

So how many concubines are in your harem?

Yeah - that suggestion was made in jest - with Bogosian's injury history there's no way the Leafs are that dumb ... With the emergence of both Kapanen/Johnsson - Nylander should be trade bait - however it would be after he gets his bonus $$$...Too bad Dubas made the comment about keeping these guys all together...There's really no easy way outta this mess. Just remembered...Nylander's lil'bro Alex plays for the Sabres...Hmm.

Seems reasonable...Although if I'm Buffalo I'd rather send Bogosian to Toronto instead

I hope Marner is a lil'greedy c**t, and gets $11 plus million...F**ks up the roster for the foreseeable future

Yup, and they still need to splurge on Marner...Whatever they have left they'll have to spend it on Johansson/Kapanen, and a handful of Dmen.

That and/or have all the rival GMs gather around Cheveldayoff - pointing their finger, and say...

Wenn Sie den Tank für witzig halten, ist der Low Rider sogar noch besser!

Seider be like...This is me patrolling the blueline...

That kid with the droopy eyes either played too close to the reactor, or his dad is 'Droopy the Dog'...

Yeah - last year we seemed to have gotten lucky, and picked guys in the 2nd round who could’ve been 1st round picks. We’ll see.

Holland still has nightmares over that signing.

Does this German kid understand that driving a foreign car in Detroit is taboo ?

Unless of course we trade back with a rival, and get additional draft pick/s, or prospect/s... Yeah - sounds like a distant cousin of Horwitz bros circa 1930...

‘The cow says “moo”.’ ’Yzerman says “we’re looking at the bpa when we pick”.’ To me - it’s all semantics...Every team worth a damn employs several amateur scouts that covers N.America, and Europe...We all know that as human beings we all have our preferences...It’s a meeting of the minds during the days ahead of any particular draft that determines which player is deemed ‘bpa’...NHL final rankings - Button’s final rankings - etc - be damned...After the top 2, or 3 picks - anything can happen, and it can be a total crapshoot. Yzerman has proven to be a more than competent GM in Tampa...I’m certain he’ll have his $hit together for tonight. Lets Go Red Wings !!!

Many 'poker faces' starting with Chicago...I could be wrong, but it appears that this draft has had more 'ups & downs' with regards as to who are the top 10.

We're now drafting Turcotte... https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/2019-nhl-mock-draft-predicting-turbulent-first-round/

That could very well happen, but I believe it’ll be Turcotte, or Byram. As for Yzerman potentially not taking the bpa, and instead going for a specific need Makes me think...Was Cholo considered a bpa by Holland, and the Scouts, or was he a need? I’m thinking bpa, but considering he was looked at as a 2nd rounder...

Good point.

Like everyone else I haven't a clue as to how this would go down...That said would it take our #6, 35th, 54th, and 60th for their 10th, and Q. Hughes?

Wow - overpayment, but hey - it's not my $$$. This made me chuckle...More silliness outta AZ. https://www.tsn.ca/gary-bettman-nhl-board-approves-arizona-coyotes-sale-new-arena-needed-1.1325309

Not likely, but.....If the pot gets sweetened.

Indeed. If the Canucks are gonna want our 6th - they'ii have to pay - so naturally ask for the moon, and maybe Yzerman gets it? Sure some, or all of our 2nd round picks might be in play too, but for a legit hi-end prospect (like Quin Hughes) it would be worth it. I'm expecting an interesting Friday night, and weekend...Should be fun.
