Flyers Block - Depth for a center

[The BBKL Insider]

Justin Schultz + prospect for Jon Merrill

[Lee]

Merrill isn't very good. atleast not that good. If anything, prospect + for merrill. I already have NJs top 2 d.

[The BBKL Insider]

Merrill is awesome

[Lee]

Yeah he's good but not someone I'd downgrade and pay more for.

[The BBKL Insider]

i think he's probably slighly better than Schultz, at least his 2 way game. Schultz prob more offense.

[Lee]

The only thing he does that Schultz doesn't is PK, with a few more hits. everything else Schultz is vastly better at.

[The BBKL Insider]

i'm excited to see what the devils do this year under Shero

they are in mad need of a good GM who will make bold (but not stupid moves)

[Lee]

Yeah, from what I;ve read they will be focusing a lot on offense, which will be awesome for Gelinas.. if he pulls his head out of his ass.

[The BBKL Insider]

Gelinas gets traded for Offense IMO

Gelinas + 6th to toronto for Kessel, please and thank you.

[kyuss]

Considering how Shero failed hard for years to get any consistent offense for the Penguins to compliment the god given centers they had, it should be interesting to see.

Gelinas + 6th to toronto for Kessel, please and thank you.

lol, good thing for the Leafs you're not in charge then

[Lee]

Severson instead of Gelinas would be acceptable.

[The BBKL Insider]

6th overall, not a 6th rounder

and if Kessel can return a top pick without eating any of that salary i'll consider it a success. I fail to see how he's back next year, and teams will be pushing for the leafs to eat cap

[Lee]

Yeah Kessel needs to get gone.

BTW:

A few NHL depth players up for grabs.

Jakub Kindl
Jack Hillen
Anthony Peluso
Jordan Caron
Martin Erat

Also looking to upgrade in net. Currently offering the Carolina system + Brendan Perlini + Nicklas Jensen, will consider more for the right system.

Marner+ Barzal

Drools

[bills09]

Nylander Barzal Marner
Small but stupid amount of skill

[The BBKL Insider]

i think leafs are taking Hafinin

[bills09]

I hope not I don't see the upside
We'll be taking Hunters boy Mitch

[Nick]

+1 on Marner

[Lee]

Strome.

He is the type of center you win with.
