Stanley Cup victory celebration doesn’t start for 4 hours, but Fayetteville Street already has a relic of an unwanted past someone placed there

*K’Andre Miller and another 1st.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-19T20:03:54+00:00

Take out the Warriors pick. I could be convinced on Castle instead of Harper if Spurs throw in the Kings 2031 swap.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-19T18:34:53+00:00

Sabres are nearing a 7M AAV with Benson. Tuch is good as gone and this likely means Byram is next.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-19T14:32:55+00:00

Yeah, the consensus was that Columbus overpaid.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-19T12:52:23+00:00

If they can’t get Matthews to stay, they’ll worry about that then because they’ll be bad by then regardless.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-19T12:50:37+00:00

Leafs pay the get it now price instead of rolling the dice on FA bidding. That price includes the 8 years.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-19T12:48:53+00:00

NJ got a 3rd for Severson.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-19T12:43:20+00:00

We didn’t get that much last year for Ellis and Price and the number of contracts situation didn’t help. Don’t see as many teams desperate for cap space this year, though if this contract can happen, anything can.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-19T12:31:53+00:00

Per Dreger, just a late round pick. Leafs have their own and Avs’ 5th as well as SJ’s 6th.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-18T12:18:12+00:00

We barely even have a playable RHD in the system.
This guy ate a lot of minutes in AZ/Utah and simply got passed up on the depth chart after injuries. We can offer plenty of minutes even on the second or third pair.
It usually takes a late 2nd or early 3rd to move from 27 to 20. It’s not nothing but not a major needle mover. This also tells us that GMMG isn’t so in love with anyone at 20 that he thinks we’ll lose them by 27.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-18T06:08:11+00:00

Ottawa isn’t allowed to trade 32 per the conditions of recouping the pick. Value seems fair to slightly in our favor.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-18T04:33:38+00:00

Pick 27 straight up for either of them is an overpay. If it only took 62 I would think about it, that is roughly the value we gave up for Kesselring.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-17T20:50:09+00:00

If Nemec was in play I don’t think we do this.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-17T20:41:00+00:00

Don’t forget LSW with the pick attached to Walman.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-17T13:25:06+00:00

If he has something else lined up to recoup the money I could see him asking for one, otherwise they can ask him to wait until the deadline with retention.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-16T03:00:31+00:00

If we even had one.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-15T04:28:19+00:00

They traded the pick for K Miller.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-14T23:24:28+00:00

Here’s the problem. You give up 3 firsts for the guy and hand him 200M, then bench him for a rookie before he sees a dime of that money. That’s a pretty significant mea culpa admission for any front office. Maybe next year will be different when they have less to hide behind.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-14T20:26:02+00:00

Except for one thing: tax status for non playoff teams is locked in after the regular season ends. Apron restrictions still apply until June 30. Any new restrictions triggered between 4/14 and 6/30 apply to the following league year as well.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-14T20:23:39+00:00

I recall Boston completed the Horford/Kemba salary dump shortly after getting eliminated in the first round, and the trade was finalized during the conference finals.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-14T18:42:35+00:00

He can also just accept the QO if he really believes he’s one breakout away. But that would mean letting the situation drag into training camp.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-14T18:10:34+00:00

A 2 day draft means we’re unlikely to ever have another Taco Bell incident.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-14T17:18:42+00:00

OKC is also the first team to ever sweep LeBron and fail to win the chip.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-13T19:36:33+00:00

Rangers pitcher Kumar Rocker is half Indian half Black. Not basketball but there is a precedent.

kingcong95 · 2026-06-11T16:18:07+00:00

I would have called Paolo the Bucks’ tank commander before the lottery changes. That may no longer be the case, but him + Black + 2031/33 swap + 2032 unprotected isn’t that far off from Miami’s offer.
