Deal Patches to get under the cap
Sees they have a dollar
Immediately go back over the cap by signing Reilly Smith lol
Did not see this coming. Johnny Gaudreau takes less money to leave Calgary to go to... Columbus? And instead of going to Jersey to play on a line with Jack Hughes or Hischier he will now play with... just looked at CBJ's roster and I still don't know who he'd be playing with. Jack Roslovic I guess. Hmm...
I question this man's sanity.
Vasp,
Can go full rage mode on Johnny now.

I'm mellowing out by watching a vod of Gura playing minecraft, I'm good.
Real talk, I'm not really bummed out by him leaving. On one hand, it would have been nice to keep him considering his career year and his solid playoff performance (finally). But on the other, we've had him for 8 years already and the team has done diddly squat, so yeah, maybe change is good.
If anything, I'm just fucking perplexed why he went to such a garbage team. I mean, I guess it's closer to his home compared to Calgary, but it's still all sorts of WTF
Waiting for it to be like "Ondrej Palat is going to the New Jersey Blue Jackets. My bad."
This man also 110% hurting inside, albeit 80 million richer.
He definitely just wanted to get paid in a place where he would get 0 attention. No one is going to care that he turns into a pumpkin when the playoffs start, because no one cares about the Blue Jackets.
Should've waited for Philly to clear up some space.
Team colours are pumpkin... and he doesn't have to worry about playoffs anyway.
So do they just bridge Tkachuk and deal him? Most likely to St Louis or something if doing the go closer to home route.
Obviously there's been a ton of shit talking online of "Leafs fans take notice, your boy will leave to go to a shit franchise just to go home" turned into "That's fine, we'll just get McDavid anyway" stuff.
Jack Campbell redeemed himself though with pictures of his puppy. Leafs fans were saying to enjoy him, he's a nice guy and used to walk his cat around on a leash. had the obligatory thought of "nooo! Doggos >>>>>>>>>> cats, what are you doing?"
Melnyks girls aint fuckin around.
