Maybe he wants out after so long there and that would be fine but given he just put up the best season of his career and seems to have finally found a role there isn't he the kinda guy Edmonton should be holding onto for dear life? Not like they really have any cap issues (at least until either an internal cap is imposed by Katz or Holland goes all Holland and spends it all on Alex Galchenyuk) and I'm not sure what they're going to get on the market for one year of him that gives more than moving him takes away.
Is that good for a 2C? Asking for Alex Wennberg's one goal this year.
Is his father a gigantic asshole too?You're right, it won't be Toronto - They would be paying Nuge 11 million per season
Why the hell would they qualify him if they've publicly stated they aren't keeping him?
At the very least it has with the Isles. Guy's gonna be 25 in January. It's a lost asset. Move on, it's best for both club and player.
Typically, a club would do it just in case none of their other options pans out and they need the warm body (See Jackets and Josh Anderson - they have no interest in him staying). In Ho-Sang's case though... Yeah. Just cut bait and run.
They will. Hell, even the Rangers are gonna listen on #1. Now, there isn't a snowball's chance in hell anyone could offer enough. But they'll listen.
I hope he enjoys Toronto.
Sign and trade. Signs with Toronto then traded to Edmonton.
One of the few teams for whom it wouldn't make much sense - have both Fox and Trouba on the right.
John Davidson drafted Pietro and is really familiar with what he brings. And now he drives the bus in NYR. Would not be at all surprised.
Davidson has not had a problem letting guys go to replace them with guys he knows and trusts. Not saying it's a great idea, just that it fits his M.O..
