The trade was fine, the contract was shear idiocy.

I expect that to happen and Skinner's production will increase while Olofsson's will fall dramatically.

Okposo was a very solid but overpaid 4th liner last year. Skinner was an overpaid and mediocre 2nd liner last year.

its all about the benjamins. No one is paying Skinner 63 million

Skinner has a NTC and has 7 years at 9 million remaining. No one is taking that contract in this flat cap era. Okposo stats could easily be improved playing with Eichel much like Skinner's were and could be moved more easily than James Neal or Milan Lucic. Skinner currently has huge negative value.

Definitely true. You could more easily trade Okposo than Skinner.

Skinner has the worst contract in the league, Joker has potential, Cozens has proven nothing in NHL could easily be another Mitts or Nylander

He was utterly incompetent in every aspect so why would you be surprised?

I think he has little trade value

What proposed Calgary trade?

I googled “The Borge” but nothing came up. Is the spelling correct?

Need suggestions and I don't have time to read entire thread. These are my 3 favorite streaming shows 1. Game of Thrones. 2.The Last Kingdom and 3. Vikings. I needs a new series that's great historical action. Any ideas.

No method only madness. A waste of a first round pick. When TM wasted a first rounder it brought back Lehner who was a great talent. albeit with some demons.

He was also played out of position on the left side a lot last year. Botteril was an unmitigated disaster.

I have no doubt he will waste the asset since he is inexperienced. He and RK have made the decision that Montour doesn't fit but have no clue how to get value for him.

Bowman was a mellow surfer dude compared to Torts and Parcells.

Well now I feel better about this thread. Leafs are lacking defense. Sabres leafs trade could happen soon just to quiet two disgruntled fan bases.

Tortorella is a great coach. He’s the Bill Parcells of Hockey.

Any idea how many of the deaths in your town were nursing home deaths?

Simple and obvious despite some clueless posters. Rasmus Dahlin is nominated for the Norris trophy.

Lehner is playing great for VGK. Why can’t we have a goalie like that?

There are virtually no teams with a surplus of good RD and excess cap space and interested in acquiring a high priced Right winger. Buffalo and Toronto make perfect trade partners other than being bitter rivals. I still think it’s more likely Toronto trades us Kerfoot and Kapanen and I doubt Nylander would want to come to Buffalo.

Nylander has an average of 6.9 million while Risto is 5.3 million and is only signed for 2 more years. It definitely saves Leafs cap space.

My timing of the post is impeccable.
