Here's what the top mods at HF say about your source NHLRumorsDaily:

https://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/ ... 65/page-10

Please refrain from posting unreliable sources in this thread. Not sure what that means? Roger Dicklund, NHLrumorsdaily or Forever Blueshirts4 are not reliable.

What is a credible source? Brooks, McKenzie, Dreger, etc.

Take this as your one and only warning. Thank you.

The mods on the Trade board over there know their stuff.

Yeah so not sure that makes for "strong rumors(sic)" there Mick.

Yeah so how did those "very strong rumours" turn out there Micky?

It’s time to see what their defensive prospects have at the NHL level. Another defensemen can be added a the trade deadline if none of the prospects do well and one is needed.

That's disappointing if Leivo picked Calgary over here. There's some great centres to play with here (ie: Petey, BoHo, Gauds will be good and JT is pretty much a centre). What do they have over there: Monahan? Backlund? They're OK I guess, but I'd take our top 2 over theirs' any day. Maybe he sees a better opportunity in CowTown or is good buds with Tan-man or something.

Yeah, I'm actually quite bullish on the One-Eyed Rafferty, so this may be his chance. It's a bit risky to open up a spot for young guy, but it may have a good payoff as well. I just think Hamonic is sitting there up for grabs and it'd be nice to add him to our D core. A combo of adding Schmidt + Hamonic would be a huge upgrade over Tanev + Stecher. Right now it's just Schmidt and a question mark. I guess it might be time to see if any of Rafferty, Juolevi or Chatfield can play in the NHL.

it sounds like he might be more focused on finding another defenseman and spending most of whatever cap money remains there and that would be the right decision.

No-way we can fit in Haminic.

I think it was the correct move to not buy out Sutter. Not that I’m a fan, but having dead money on the books for 21/22 doesn’t make much sense.

JB already said a while ago (last week perhaps??) that he wouldn’t be using buyouts. Not sure why the radio guys would even be speculating that
