Looks like Rob Blake wants to start winning now instead of the forever tank option.

So does this mean 15 OA is in play?

I gather this is pertaining to trade discussion surrounding Miller et al.

I can’t see management trading the 15th OA unless it’s for a young NHL ready player coming back.

They tanked their way to a playoff spot this season. 8-)



Yeah Darren Dreger is a real great source, especially for this market.

I agree about Dreger. I always found Dreger to be a little odd. Something isn’t right there

Dreger reminds me of NFL rumour monger Adam Schefter.

Both use 50 words to convey 10 worth of info in an effort to sound like they know what they're talking about or the potential scoop is bigger than it is.

No time for either of them...

:lol: How can you make him visible? Do you have some kind of x-ray eyes?
He must be standing behind the wall.

Looks like Tampa wants to trade McDonagh so they have cap space to sign Sergachev and Cernak.

My Cernak to the Canucks plan is taking a hit.

Could be an interesting saga that.....

McDonagh is apparently a very popular guy in the room, he was the dman on the ice defending the lead against Colorado in the dying minute of game 5.....oh yeah, and he has a full NTC.

I hope he tells Tampa to pound sand and forces them to honor the NTC. Players need to make GM's pay for the lower cap hit in exchange for a NTC.
