tOfficial 2017 trade deadline thread - or "someone shackle Benning for God's sake 2017"

It seem like there may be some good use of the second rounder in the bank this year.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

No. Just a guess as to what his value is at the deadline.

Can’t even say I’d complain really. All three of the 2nd rounders the Leafs had are probably going to be somewhere between 20-30 at this point. The middle one has to go to Anaheim (I think they traded it already too) so say it’s the lower of the remaining two. Not the end of the world.

Interesting thought. I'm really just wondering if the Oilers have used up all of their lottery-win-in-the-banks. They might want to use their latest one.

Yeah. People bitch and moan about 2nd round picks but they're generally a pretty insignificant asset. Especially in the second half of the round.

I'll tell you what they have used up and it is Cam Talbot - That dude is running on fumes these days (I think last night was his 31st start in the last 34 games).

We have acquired Byron Froese and a 2017 second-round pick from the @MapleLeafs in exchange for Brian Boyle.

I think it's time for Kenny to post his favo(u)rite Yoda meme in regards to the Leafs...

It's the best of the three too.

Oh well. Move the damn farm for a d-man now.

Ontario arms race?

I like the Sens, but that will change if this trade is consummated.

I was gonna post something along those lines but I don't think I could dislike the Sens any more than I already do.

You have to figure the expansion draft would make things interesting, but this is the weirdest deadline and we're not even close to the finish line yet... The only move that sort of makes sense is the Hanzal...

Wow

Wow

Glad he's out east if nothing else.

The extension is bizarre to me. Does ottawa protect him for expansion draft

Now all they need to do is dump Dorsett and this Canucks team becomes a lot more likable.
