Bubble up without actually going into a bubble and hoping nobody is stupid about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what they are doing here outside of skewing trade values lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true (pulled it from elsewhere), it's kind of amazing Quote Since 2013, Pittsburgh has drafted in the 1st round twice2014- Kapapnen (whom they just re-acquired)2019- PoulinThey now have no 2020 1st and no 2021 1stThey also have yet to have any of their 2016, 2017, 2018, or 2019 draft picks play a single NHL game for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those sorts of trades lead to overpaying Jack Johnson. I don't think this trade helps them much tbh. Post Crosby/Malkin/Letang they are in for a loooong and painful rebuild.

beekay414 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Can't get the tweet to post properly but the Coyotes were docked their 2021 1st and 2020 2nd for violating the combine testing policy. They're in a bad way in regards to picks the next 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do the same with Calgary with Lucic. Kessel was a massive disappointment, eat some money and see if you can ship him off for something minor. I can't imagine that he wants to finish out his career there in that situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL is gonezo. Half their team is UFA after next season. They are in for a loooong rebuild. I can see them trading a few over 25 players who haven't lived up to the billing. If you're a team with multiple 1st round picks (wink wink), I'd consider seeing if I can shake some talent loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'm not really interested in any of their current talent, that they'd feasibly sell off, anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair, but I would look at some of their veterans with expiring deals. You guys are such a young team, adding some quality veterans, even if you flip em at the deadline, would help. Also Leafs apparently looking at trading Anderson, Kerfoot, Johnsson and Engvall. I wonder if they are gonna make a run at Pietreangelo.
