Sorry, @k9dr, you'll have to wait one more year.

Cap issues - he will eventually get signed.

Agreed on both, but glad to have him back next season.

Damn that was a fun game last night. Could've went either way! With any luck, the Panthers and Bolts beat each other senseless in the first round and the Leafs can actually get past the second round this year!

The Lightning score a touchdown vs Buffalo and Kucherov gets 2 goals and 1 assist to secure the Art Ross Trophy. More importantly, the Bolts are getting close to securing home ice for the first round of the playoffs vs the Panthers.

We're not dead yet. MTL has to lose against Carolina. Then CBJ has to win against Philly and NYI. This season has been such a storybook. I mean...we have to get in...right?

Howard doesn't have to sign, even if he's traded. If he's not under contract by next summer, he's a UFA as I understand it. So I imagine any trade will include a pre-trade contract discussion with the new team.
Of course. Inquiring parties would do their due diligence with his agent I'm sure before engaging talks with Tampa.
The idea of trading him this offseason would be to get better value than a late 2nd round pick for his rights. Tampa would get the 63rd overall next year as a comp pick if Howard doesn't sign.
Maybe a team trades their late 1st for him between now and the draft, but history shows that this is unlikely. Likely return is two 2nd's or a 2nd and a prospect.

Sure, we'd be happy to take him, develop him, make him disgruntled until he wants to leave, and then trade him. We're essentially a farm team for the league the last 15 years.

Peterka is basically a younger Jeff Skinner. Complete defensive liability and a streaky scorer. He's young so it could change. I'd be happy to trade him for a late 20s something veteran that has more of a two-way game.

May one of the Atlantic teams wearing blue and white stop the Panther scourge that plagues both our houses this year!

325 total penalty minutes, over a dozen game misconducts, I'm absolutely gobsmacked. Something tells me a 4th liner getting fined $2,000 for taking a run at a 90 point producer in Brandon Hagel isn't going to cut it anymore.
With no hyperbole, the NHL has a burgeoning crisis brewing here if this carries over into the regular season.

Ridiculous. Let em beat each other up I guess. Go Leafs Go.
Buncha little skirmishes at the Leafs game in Detroit tonight, nothing really came of it but kind of ridiculous that a third line Marlie could potentially take out Larkin or something.

Au contraire. It would be do good to get back to old time hockey with body checks and fights. Back in the day the next question after “ did the bruins win ?” Was “ any fights ?”
