The Athletic Winnipeg had 5 Defenseman that the Jets could target in trade. 

Risto and Miller were mentioned as possible targets.

The rumor from the summer about the return for Risto would have made NS very happy......

That "rumor" has been out there for a while.  Throw Mitts or Tage in there and grab another scorer.

I still don't think the Jets are ideal partners unless the Sabres can work a deal to send picks from Winnipeg to another team for a real player. I think Winnipeg would take Miller but they wont give us anything we need from their forward corps in return.

I so wish the larger population had a true inkling of what this statement means. But, I digress...………………...

Hockey wise, I agree.

Truer words not been spoken in a long time. We don't even get a "No Goal" anymore. We have been relegated to "HOCKEY HELL".

Anthony Cirelli this summer. I am not interested in mortgaging the future for a slim chance of making the playoffs and losing in round 1 to Boston. 

Losing to Boston in Round 1? I thought that was the Leafs job?

Kapanen in Toronto healthy scratch.

Info per Luke Fox twitter:

Kapanen's scratch tonight is not injury-related. Sheldon Keefe expected to update press post-game.

I would love Kapanen for Colin Miller but I’m sur the Leafs want Montour instead.

I would do Montour for Kapanen.  Still has two years after this season under contract at a reasonable price.  Would be an instant upgrade on RW whereas we have other options on D.  Something that drives me nuts is how our coaching staff puts Montour on the left D side anyway....he needs to be on the right side.

Wouldn’t make that trade, even if Toronto were in the West. A young skilled Dman is worth more than a young winger. 

[bunomatic]

Montour doesn’t do defence very good so yeah send him to Toronta.

[PerreaultForever]

Montour for Kapanen in a heartbeat.

Give 'em Bogo for free as a toss in to seal the deal.

Montour is mediocre.  Another terrible Botteril trade.  He’s also going to get a hefty contract.

That trade proposal is a joke. Risto himself is worth more than what Anaheim is giving up.  Giving away a first and swapping a bunch of garbage isn't going to help.

Why would he get a hefty contract?  He isn’t putting up big numbers.

It also depends on what you consider a hefty contract I suppose.

Why on earth would we want Kapanen?

He would be a fast top 6 forward for us and Botteril is going to grossly overpay Montour as his prized acquisition.

How can you not like Dahlin? There are a few others but he seems a lock?

I'm not a Montour fan at all.  His "freelancing" appears to have been reigned in by RK and staff, but he's just another PMD without much effectiveness in his own end.  How many figure skaters does JB need on the blueline?

I like Montour's game, but he needs to be paired with the right guy.

I am sure I will get there but I just haven't seen it yet with him. I am confident that he will be a superstar and I know he has all the points, but I feel about him exactly how I felt about Jack in the first three years. Jack has reached the level where he is super star and it is not a given yet with dahlin

I hear ya. The nice thing is if we use Jack as a comparison Dahlin should be a real asset in a couple years.

Dahlin has looked really good the last few weeks, you can tell the game is slowing down for him. 

We're seeing more and more "wow" plays with the puck on his stick.  The points will come.

[LGR4GM]

"The points will come" 

Dahlin is doing pretty good in the points category.
