Here is how I imagine the inside of Jarmo's head looked when Bowman offered Saad:

Aaron Ward @TSNAaronWard
Mike Ribeiro headed back to Nashville on a 2 year deal with an AAV 3.5M #TSN

Good.

Maybe the Pens should offer sheet Tarasenko?

Really depends on his demands. Again, they're in a tight spot without that second rounder. Anyone want Scuds for a second?! Annnnyyyy body? I'd love to screw over St. Louis. The thought of Geno and Tarasenko...sigh. I do think there's a chance he moves. Seems like the Blues haven't made much headway.

Keep in mind the crazy RFA rules require PIT to have their second rounder, not just any second rounder.

Columbus, if you take PaulMart, I'm going to whine. Stop. Go elsewhere Pauly.

...what if they got theirs back? I have no idea where that one went. Toronto?

I would love to see TOR get Tarasenko, but just not at the cost of 4 Firsts.

for a rebuilding team, giving away 4 firsts for one player would be dumb

AFAIK yes, if they get theirs back, they are in compliance with the RFA rules. And yes, in the Winnik trade

This really surprises me


I trust BobbyMac, but WTF???

Are we rebuilding or not?

Kevin Bieksa has agreed to terms on a US$8-million, two-year contract extension with the Anaheim Ducks.

 

[BGDave]

That last sentence is just wrong.

I'd believe you...but...you're the Leafs own personal, one man propoganda machine.

Somebody still has to play all of those minutes in the meantime though. Playing young players too much too soon in roles that they aren't ready to handle does more harm than good sometimes.
