But would you trade Minten + Robbo and a first for (back in their day) Antropov + Colaiacovo and a first?

Won't work without Antropov and Colaicovo thrown in too

The above comparison makes me wonder...would Cowan for McGroarty been a good trade for the Leafs?

Thanks, I thought so. There's an alternative reality where I could have been a Pens fans because of Lemieux but I didn't have any team for the first five years or so of following hockey via the weekly highlights shows we got...until one of the main UK channels started covering the NHL live twice...

On the subject of brothers, recall Ulf and Kjell Samuelsson for the Penguins when I got NHLPA hockey for my Sega Megadrive in 1993 (was it branded as Genesis in Canada?). Used to mostly play as the Penguins and assumed they were brothers for some reason but having Googled seen they were not...

The glory days of trade proposals.

Hoping this is just a case of Tanev sleeping on it and confirming this morning.

Would the 2nd be a better chip at the 2025 trade deadline than trading the prospect they picked (obviously depending on who it was)? That's the only thing I can think of.

Oops, missed that it was with Florida. Sorry for the fake news.

Linus Eriksson (C) drafted with the pick we had until it was traded to Florida.

Sorry if it came across differently, but I posted that to add to your point about how good these prospects sound. Definitely think some of these scouts/writers could do well in marketing if they ever fancy a change of career!

I've said elsewhere that reading the scouting reports every year always makes me wish we had at least five first round picks.

Thanks for the explanation.

What's the difference between an associate coach and an assistant coach?

Every year I read the scouting reports for round 1 and every year I wish the Leafs had 5 or 6 first round picks. Those guys who write the reports should get themselves into marketing.
