Dakota Joshua has been traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs!
***apologies for the wifi quality. In an effort to get the news out immediately, Matt went live from the backroom of the golf course and Blake was in his car, so the reception was not very good and the video is pretty pixelly.

Fans don't seem to understand how hockey and the salary cap work. Someone had to go, and Joshua was making significant money for a 3rd or 4th line forward. The plan seems to be to find a 2nd line centre since no one seems to trust Chytil's heath. In order to do that, cap space needed to be accumulated, especially with OEL's cap recapture penalty going up for 4 million this coming year. We always overvalue our players here and a 4th round pick for a cap dump and a, at best, 3rd line winger isn't bad. Cap space is like gold now. Kane is a top 6 forward, like it or not, and Joshua, as much as I loved having him here, isn't. I wish we'd finally suck it up and do a rebuild, but in the absence of that, these are the deals you have to make. Trading MA Fleury pissed off Vegas fans, for good reason, but did they win a Cup? Yes. Sometimes you have to make tough decisions that aren't popular.
Agreed. It just sucks to see a fan favorite go even if it makes sense. I thought the same about Bo, JT, all of them.
We know there’s a salary cap and that’s the way it works but it just sucks.
(Personally I thought they would give Dak the reigns at center again. Them trading him makes me think something is cooking. They NEED at least 1 more guy. And he was the only relative option left.)
Sign Roslovic and we move past it
Lazar is current management signing
I would have traded Hollander over Joshua
I agree why it happened and understand. But we need heart players, him , garland etc.
