Dubas just made a brilliant trade. Acquired Tyson Barrie and got Kleerfott AND Barrie is 50% retained.
But you said Leaves would never ever ever trade your precious Kadri... aren't you sad?
Barrie is a good offensive dman, but everyone had agreed a defensive dman was needed.
Leaves are still a few million short of being able to sign Ceci to the agreed-upon $4.5M + Marner.
And where will the Leaves get the money to re-sign Barrie and Muzzin next summer?
Answer: Barrie will sign with Canucks as a UFA (why Sakic traded him)
... and Muzzin will sign with... Ottawa?
Barrie was a good addition, but it's only for one year... and it cost Kadri.
As I say, another move must be coming to fit in Marner and Ceci.
Toronto will start next year minus their 2 best PK forwards... Brown and Hyman (out til Xmas)
... and minus their 2 best PK dmen... Hainsey and Zaitsev.
This after giving up their best PKers Komarov + Polak the previous year.
Who will kill penalties in Pigtown next year?
Are they going to try to win every game 7-6?
How happy is Mr Andersen with all these moves?
