So apparently #34 needed some #16 in his life again.

Anyone needs 16 in there life, AM34 is a sniper bro.

Wild Card race is epic in the East, the West suxxxxxxxxxx

Jeannot to the Lightning.

Jeannot to the Lightning.

 

Yeah happy the Leafs stayed away at that price.

[Horses Fart]

I bet it will work out for the Bolts in the end because it the Bolts and u know, BUT that’s outrageous to pay that for Jeannot. Make ya scratch ur head.

Bottom 6 guys are getting a player return plus 5 draft picks including conditional 1sts ? Is there something I'm missing about Jeannot as his numbers look really ... meh.

I think that they are hoping that he can play like last year for the rest of this season With a change of scenery. Plus they know he’s a pest. U know this will probably come back to kick us in the arse come first round.

Okay, but... half a point a game + pest = player return plus 5 draft picks? Still seems like a gigantic overpay unless Tampa has a bunch of picks stockpiled they're just ditching because they can.

He'll become Tom Wilson in Tampa.

McCabe and Lafferty are pretty great adds. Get that D and a bottom 6 winger that can contribute offensively.

[Brownie19]

Is this a good move for the Buds? I don't follow hockey enough to know.

Yes. McCabe still has 2 years remaining on his contract after this season. Lafferty has one more after this season. Neither are rentals.

McCabe is the Top 4 D-man that can step in for Muzzin.

I like that for Toronto. McCabe isn't a world beater but he solidifies the middle of the defense core and with the 50% retention, Toronto gets him at just $2M per year for another two more seasons.

 

I would think that price would be reasonable for McCabe @50% alone, but also getting a useful bottom six forward in Lafferty, signed for another season at a fairly low rate.

Certainly a different looking team then it was a month ago. Just curious if a 1st rounder is as valuable in the 30th pick overall range as we think it is?

If it's in that 25-30 range, definitely not.

Depending on the draft (some are much deeper than others), but usually, once you get passed that top 15-20....players between 21-50 are very interchangeable. It isn't unlike baseball...you have your top tier guys that you know are going early...but at a certain point you can get guys ranked 80th taken at the end of the 1st round.

Hot damn, me likey!

McJesus hits the 50 mark.

Can’t believe they left him all alone like that, and great hustle from Kostin to nullify the possible icing.

Yeah, Kostin and Connor caught them napping on an expected icing, great game.

[Horses Fart]

Looks like Kanes gonna be a Ranger after 6:30 today.

did you see Koston's slash at the end of the game

 

what a f***ing idiot, lmao

 

blocks 7 shots in a row like a hero then takes the dumbest slashing penalty of the year

Tanner Jeannot returned more in a trade than Patrick Kane. Hockey is dumb.

That had more to do with the Blackhawks having no leverage, Kane wasn't waiving his no movement clause for any team other than the Rangers. He did the Hawks dirty, lol.

 

Lightning gave up a lot for Jeannot though, dumn.
