After all is said and done, there still is only one guy who has it all - and what I mean here is the skills.

Achievements are not too bad either: won the cup three times, two olympic gold medals, world cup gold, world championship gold, world juniors championship gold and the golden goal.

SPEAKING OF TORONTO

TRADE

To Toronto Maple #Leafs
2020 6th round pick

To Carolina #Hurricanes
F Patrick Marleau
2020 conditional 1st round pick
2020 7th round pick

Friedman: It appears as if Marleau will be bought out by the Hurricanes and possibly return to SJ. Condition on first is if it is Top 10 — shifts to 2021

Marleau bought out by Carolina

[Judai]

Looking up the Marleau buyout, I just realized, Carolina is still paying Alex Semin 2.3m this year and next.

fucking lol.

[Melena]

And they still have what, 15-20 mil available in cap space?

21.9m atm

though they need to sign Aho, JWill, Ferland, Mrazek and several others to fill the roster.

[NynJa]

I cant imagine 37 year old JWill will cost that much.

[Judai]

He had 53 pts last year (23g/30a) so I assume he probably gets a short 4m~ aav contract. Though he could take more years and less aav, idk. He's still a "big" re-signing for them being their Captain and helping to turn the franchise around again.

I would expect those 4 signings to take up most of that 21.9m.

[NynJa]

Yeah, I looked that up after I posted, and that was some of his best production since the lockout.

His age will have to catch up to him eventually though, right?

Mr. Game 7. Him vs his age is the ultimate Game 7 and he'll overcome it by winning both the Rocket, Art Ross and Hart over and over and over again until he decides to retire on his own terms, just you wait and see.

The Colorado Avalanche have made a trade with the Washington Capitals to acquire LW Andre Burakovsky in exchange for two picks and a minor league player who is not a prospect, a source has confirmed to The Athletic. #Avs

Burracuda is gone, sadness. The picks are a 2nd and a 3rd.

He has always been on the verge of the next level but injuries and confidence just keep him outside it. Maybe a change of scenery will propel him upward.

[Cail]

Not thrilled. Ive always liked Burky. Now we have a gaping hole on the 3rd line for sure

[Cail]

Toronto signed Kasperi Kapanen 3yrs 3.2mil AAV

Toronto also signed Andreas Johnsson 4yrs 3.4mil AAV

Trade:

Carolina gets: Erik Haula

Vegas gets: Nicolas Roy, 2021 conditional 5th (Conditions: Vegas receives the 2021 5th round draft pick if Haula is on the Hurricanes' roster past the 2019-20 season, and/or if Carolina trades Haula for one of the following: a player, multiple draft picks, or a draft pick in rounds 1 to 5. If no condition is met, no pick will be transferred.)

It was always doubtful we were keeping him. Too close to the cap atm, maybe this means we can sign Conno but that's only if he takes a friendly contract imo, cause I could easily see him getting 5m+ in FA. Hags, Eller, Conno 3rd would be great but we'll probably lose Conno too and try out Fjallby on the 3rd.
