GOING FOR IT
 
I like Trotz and he’s wanted GM for awhile. Aside from my usual complaint that NHL basically just keeps swapping the same 8 guys everywhere in the league, if that’s the game they’re playing though, it’s a good move for him.
I knew he had moved back to Nashville last summer, apparently Polie got to pick his successor and he chose Trotz. I like Trotz because he has a lot more fire to him than Poile and I expect Hynes will be a goner at the end of the season. Really hope they give the job to Karl Taylor. He’s been great in Milwaukee and he deserves a chance. In all reality he should have got the job when they fired Laviolette. If they don’t hire him this summer, someone else might.
 
TRADE ALERT 🚨

The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired defenseman Jake McCabe, forward Sam Lafferty, and two conditional draft picks from the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday.

The Maple Leafs send forward Joey Anderson, forward Pavel Gogolev, a conditional 2025 first-round pick, and a 2026 second-round pick to Chicago in the transaction.

Chicago is retaining 50% of McCabe's salary in the trade.

More to come.
