Front Office is very high on Cowan and Danford’s potential.

I am also not interested in trading Easton Cowan.

Dakota Joshua and his $3.25M has been on LTIR
He played his first conditioning game for the Marlies Sunday.
Normally, he is allowed 2 more (Wed 21st & Sat 24th)
They could request an extension for 2 more games which would take him to Fri Oct 30th
Probably by next Sunday, the Leafs may have to make some decision on how they're going to add Joshua to the roster.
I do not think it will be a major issue in terms of cap space or a roster spot at that time.

I'm quite interested in what Joshua could bring to the roster.

Joshua quietly had the 3rd highest goals per 60 minutes rate on the team last season at 5-on-5. He had as many 5-on-5 goals as Knies did but in 24 less games (and of course with significantly worse linemates). He probably won't keep shooting 20%, especially if he's on the 4th line now, but should at least be a clear upgrade over MacEwen.

That's kind of where a bit of deadweight could be cleared for a more cap efficient player. Don't know how you do it but I'd love to get his cap hit off the books for an equally paid defenseman.

The return for Danford and COL's 1st would be what? 3-5 D man? Our trade asset of value was spent for a marginal gain on the W. Not great asset management, in my opinion.

If that was the return for Simon Edvinsson I don't think that'd be unreasonable.

DET will not make that trade.

DET will not make that trade.

And yet, you think Knies would/should have fetched someone like Edvinsson?
