I think there is pretty much zero chance the Dome will be involved, but one can dream...

I'd be quite surp

Still hope we can have both Scotia Place and the Saddledome host games, Would make a fantastic sendoff for the dome!

.
I think Kadri will be traded, his value is quite high currently. I love how Conroy will only take the best deal though, he is doing a great job as GM so far.

I actually think there's a decent chance. There's not that many city pairs that have two modern arenas nearby that doesn't have conflicting schedules. The NHL loves to have control over scheduling, and most of the North East and LA venues can't give them that.

For the World Cup, they don't need two buildings. Half the tournament will be played in Europe.

Rumour has Weegar going to Utah.

 

[trtcttc]

Really liked him as a player, if we were 2/3 years ahead in the rebuild, he would be a good captain, but with his play falling a bit, this is probably the last chance to trade him. He missed out on those Florida cup years, happy for him to at least get a shot at playoff hockey even if Utah's not really a cup contender yet.

Would be interesting if we got Iginla back for Weegs. Sounds like he's gone regardless....

Sounds like Tij is not involved.

Think we got a decent return, would have rather had a first instead of 3 second round picks, but Maata is a decent defensive defenseman, and hopefully Castagna works out, he is over a point per game in the NCAA.

The Rangers second is pretty close to a first. Late 1st/Early 2nd isn't that different. That's a pretty good get and a proactive move, rather than waiting a year or 2, where we'll probably get nothing back because of the contract.

 

[Roaring Flames]

The Senators also void their first round pick this year so there's only 31 picks in the first round
