Unless Trouba channels Randy Poffo of the top turnbuckle he’s gonna have a hard time getting an elbow in on Dr. Drai.
Only because Draisaitl will already be diving and holding his face when Trouba is 15 away or more.

For positional needs, salary situation, and annoying dad factors,
That is a win for the Leafs.

However, all parties are UFA after the upcoming season, so depends on signability of Theodore especially.



Bigger question: who the fuck is Lucas Nola

So does Askarov get traded now?

I get he is very good but contract won’t end well. Isn’t he 30 already and he has yet to start for a team to the second round of the playoffs.

Yeah I know it is a team sport but you need your goaltender to steal a few in the playoffs.

REALLY struggling to see the vision from Brian McLellan here and can only really land on one thing… he is bad at his job.

Eat Bread is a skilled player, but was really inconsistent with Calgary last season. Not sure if they plan to play him much with OV, but I think he can help the big man get closer to breaking Gretzky's record.

Short answer no!

Longer answer. Market is crap right now for established goalies like Markstrom and Ullmark. What is a 22 year old with 2 AHL seasons going to get in return? Arguably Wolf has compare potential, what wo he get you in a trade?

Best move for the Preds is to let him play 25-30 games and see what we have. Then reassess next off season. Also lets them dial back the wear and tear on Saros.

Best case: might have the next Swayman/Ullmark tandem.
