I have no idea how good the 2018 and 2019 drafts are supposed to be but surely they're better than the 2017 draft.

Hanzal's making 3.1M/year and his contract is up at the end of the season. Not really a big deal, to be honest.

I love it.

Minnesota has a lot of young guys coming up so they're not super worried with picks. Plus this is clearly a "let's get a veteran with size" for the playoff run. Normally I wouldn't like this deal so much but I think Minnesota feels like they have something special this year and are gonna push hard to go all the way.

The issue in a lot of Minnesota teams in the past has been lack of size and getting beat up in the playoffs. Boudreau clearly likes having beefy dudes who can muck it up a bit. A Nino-Coyle-Hanzal line is big

I'd like to this means that Detroit agreed to all of these offers without pause just to get Riley Sheahan off the team

But that assumes a competent Ken Holland, so

Sheahan is basically just another Nick Spaling, no? Not the sort of player you need to get into a bidding war over.

Sheahan is definitely not a player teams should ever bid for because he's a commodity easily found in the off-season without giving up assets

Why the gently caress would Arizona be trying to trade Duclair? He's having a crap year for sure but the dude is 21 and clearly talented.

Considering he played reasonably well in his rookie year, you really gotta do due dilligence here.


Also, the Leafs needs defensive help REALLY badly. Shouldn't that be their 1st and 2nd priorities here?

He's movable I'm sure but considering that's the return on Bishop then I assume Maf would fetch a used shoe, a free 6$ sub voucher, and a buy one get one free at Mcdonalds.

e: Hanzal is a nice player but that is a lot to give up for an injury prone center. I'd be real worried about that as a Wild fan.

Having a 4th line center who is really good defensively will do a lot to help, or if he's good enough (I don't know if he is) a replacement for defensive black hole Tyler Bozak when he's gone. Sheahan would be an incredibly smart move if the Leafs can get him cheap in his down year on a terrible Wings team.
