Liam Greentree

That was a different thing, yeah.

Was it worth it to trade him for a third? And Liam Greentree was kind of the question.

And I think if you ask the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are in a much better position, do you want a third of Liam Greentree? They say, we pass.

We're good.

Yeah.

They don't really have that much leverage.

So, the only way we were talking about this and if you want to go watch the stream last night we were talking about a bunch of different scenarios but one of the ways this would work for the toronto maple leaves because there is the tagging rule you can only go 10 over the cap if they get them in a you know a sign and trade essentially for next season they would have to move a boatload of money out in a trade there uh but one of the ways this does work out for the lease where they don't have to give up that many assets or get in a bidding war is if kucherov explicitly goes hey i want to go play in toronto trade me to toronto Tampa wouldn't have much of an option at that point they would have to get something for the player much like Artemi Panarin last year he told the Rangers I want to go to LA and the Rangers said damn that sucks because now we're only getting a pretty good prospect of Liam Greentree and a third round pick right so that's just an example and I feel like that could happen here as well

yeah now of stuff to consider one i can already see you guys typing the comment section the contract they would have to give up about 9.5 million dollars give or take to make that deal work which we'll dive into in a minute and if they want to extend him uh darryl she's spoken about it at nauseam it's like your rule that you know to uh to talk about which i'll let you talk about in a minute um there is a rule basically they can't sign and trade i guess if you want to call it that he can't extend right away you'd have to wait till the off season in which you'd have to clear another nine and a half ten million dollars so it would be difficult that being said it is possible now We can dive into what it would be.

Obviously, Pierre Lebrun talks about around six years, $20 million.

Albert Schmitz, the fifth overall pick from this past draft.

Liam Greentree, you have Cole Baldwin.

Some fans are already speculating and putting trade packages together.

Cooley, Baldwin, Greentree, Tolvanen, and a top 10 protected 2027 first round pick all for Nikita Kucherov.

So everything you guys do to follow us, like us, comment, all that good stuff helps us bring you guys more and more content.

So this week, I'm joined by my co-host, new co-host this week, player coach Reggie Dunlap in his cowboy hat and his fur coat.

Coach, how are you doing?

My full-length fur.

Then we move to the next game, Calgary and Toronto.

And by the way, in the Artemi Panarin trade, the New York Rangers got Liam Greentree, what, the 26th overall pick in the 2024 draft.

He's playing in Hartford in the American Hockey League.

Could turn out to be a good prospect, but picked two picks before him.

You know, you're going to put all that capital.

I mean, Liam Greentree really hasn't done anything, but you're going to trade for him.

Then you're just not really going to do anything.

I think there's like almost no risk in the Kings getting our Tim.

Ken Holland isn't here to sell.

He just traded Liam Green Tree to get Artemi Panarin.

So while the Daily Faceoff and Matt Larkin, who he blocked me because he kept going on some clown show about he was like trolling Buffalo Sabres fans and like he's dead wrong about the trade that they made for Savoy and McLeod.

McLeod's been so he continues to be wrong.

But their system isn't very good.

They traded probably their best prospect in Liam Greentree in that Panarin trade.

Obviously, Kopitar retired.

Byfield, obviously good piece.

So we didn't really touch on the young kids yet in Hartford.

With an overview, I'm just curious, who are you most interested in? Whose story most interests you from that group? Whether it be Liam Greentree and Colbo Duen, for example, who are probably their top two prospects in the organization, both acquired in trades, both 20 years old, both just turned pro.

A kid like Nathan Aspinall, who is, you know, kind of a mid-round pick who just exploded last year in the OHL.

Also, first pro season off to a slow start.

Great now what he knows about the NHL game.

But let him sort of, uh, figure it all out, playing probably top line minutes with Liam Greentree for Hartford.

Let him get his professional game in order.

Justin Dowling comes up.
