[The BBKL Insider]

the jackets can't afford Luongo...i think they'd take a run at miller

[Mike]

Man if I'm goalie bob I take that... 3 years. Come back with 30 mil in my pocket at age 27. UFA I think?

[Phion Keneuf]

I think I found my top line center in my previous trade lol.

Yeah, but to play in a wanna-be league ... I guess it depends on his pride. Then again, he is Russian ..

[The BBKL Insider]

I don't think its a pride thing at all.

Twice the money to play in his home town. To me that just makes sense.

If someone offered me a job in Nova scotia making the same money (let alone twice as much) I'd be gone tomorrow.

Toronto's was still much worse....

[The BBKL Insider]

Losing in the open series to losing in the cup finals?

I'd say bostons was equally as bad.

Ye - Last week it was Barkov, now Nathan, tomorrow will be Drouin and OMG they lied - and picked Jones.

And will play 3rd line center.

If they draft MacKinnon, no way does Stastny come back. I know Duchene can play on the wing but obviously O'Reilly isn't going plan 3rd line making the scratch he's getting. Just as far as needs are concerned, they seemed like a natural spot for Jones.

It was a quote from Bobby Mac.

[The BBKL Insider]

i'm actually hoping we nab Stastny some how.

I know it's been beaten to death on the rumour mill, but if we trade dion i can see a deal around Statsny + for him.

[The BBKL Insider]

TSN said the leafs are believed to offer Bernier a 5 year deal worth 3.5mil per year.

5 years a bit much, why not 2 years, get a nice bridge contract then go 5+

i think there is benefits to both...if he turns out to be a true #1 top 10 goalie (like everyone believes) 3.5 is a steal for 5 years...however, if he's inconsistant than it could be a bad deal.

Per Patty Roy

Seth Jones could be the next Cam Barker, Nathan Mackinnon is ready today. Teams dont draft players they need, they draft the best player available. Luckily for Pittsburgh they took Malkin and not Barker, even though they needed the defenseman.

I agree with this logic entirely. Drafting a D-man #1 overall or even #2 is almost always a long long road and not always fruitful.
