If there's some sort of Nick Robertson-for-Chinakhov type of trade out there, the Leafs should be all over that. Toronto might have to add something, but likely not a ton.

Getting something of positive value for Ryan Reaves is some pretty tidy work by Brad Treliving
Fun trade. Haven't watched O'Reilly play much but Howard could be a great fit in Edmonton. thescore.com/nhl/news/33096…

Easy to see why Maccelli could get an opportunity to play with Matthews next season

Holy shit that is a massive hometown discount

Dobson trade is so good for Montreal. His contract is going to age like wine.
4 x $4.38M for Tavares is a nice deal for the Leafs. JT just gained huge cred with the fanbase.
I imagine his market will be strong, but Glass is a player the Leafs should look to target as a 3C (or even 2C if JT leaves). 6'3, right-handed shot, good defensive metrics. Lots of injuries, yes, but still only 26 years old, so perhaps some untapped offensive potential.
With the rising cap, the list of players not expected to receive a qualifying offer (and thus become UFA) is not a long one this summer: #njdevils Cody Glass #blackhawks Philipp Kurashev #sjsharks Klim Kostin
Price not getting into the HHOF on his 1st try is quite egregious but happy to see Mogilny finally get in. Long overdue.

Resharing a feature I wrote in November to preview tomorrow's Hockey Hall of Fame announcement. If the HHOF doesn't go with Chara, Keith, Price, and Thornton, they royally fucked up.
