Could Leon Get Traded? + NHL Rumours | The Chris Johnston Show 

The rationalization of the Korpisalo salary dump continues to amaze. He has had 2 good season in 8 years. Ullmark (who is only 3 months older) had a history of good numbers on bad Buffalo teams, Korpisalo has never shown anything but being the product of the players in front of him.

Leon should just play out his contract and evaluate his offers. 😀

Absolutely LOVED that Chris rant about McDavid winning the Conn Smythe. And agree 100% !

I give Leon a 5% chance of getting traded.

There is a lot of clicks and pops in the audio. Ihope it's not on my end. It usually is fine for this show. It's particularly when CJ is speaking. It's his microphone.. please fix.

as a habs fan i loved Weber but a first ballot hall of famer?... not so sure about that one. loads of player still waiting that had more impactful career's

Id love to see Max Domi back in Chicago

The Walman trade makes soooo much more sense now 😂😂

1 year of Leon at $8.5M is worth taking your time with the negotiation. The only way he ever leaves Edmonton, in my opinion, is if Connor signaled that he wanted out of town. Which he hasn't.....and likely won't. It's a sexy story to talk about, and hypotheticals are fun (I have a fun one about him agreeing to play for bits of string in Tampa!), but I just think this is all smoke and no fire. Of course, there's a wildcard here and his name is Ken Holland.

Chris, great rant on why Conner McDavid deserved the Conn Smythe. Spot on. Could not agree with you more.

The idea that paying mcdavid and leon at least 30 million combined when they couldn't win when making 21.1 million combined is ludicrous. They won't be able to win a cup paying 2 guys that much.

Interesting stuff

I'm ALWAYS here for a CJ rant!

Are we doing a meet up in Vegas????❤❤😂

CJs audio is terrible

Lmao hell yea we love a CJ rant, jays are next up

Fingers crossed for draisaitl to sign an extension here

Yeeeeeah.... Draisatl's trade is about as likely as Marner's trade. Both will be heading to free-agency and singing a happy tune all the way. Could you imagine a team dumping a lot of their salary and getting BOTH of these guys as a ''core two"? Instantly becomes potentially the top line in the NHL.

id buy out nurse before trading leon because you cant fit him under the budget. rather overpay for a superstar than risk losing so you can pay a middle to bottom pair dman 9.25 million

I don't think Draisaitl is making any decision until he 100% knows what McDavid is going to do. If he signs, that is a pretty good indication that McDavid will stay. The opposite is also true.

Tavares contract ends same time guys! Add a few million to the 11 Tavares making and give it to Leon !!!

You only trade him if he’s indicated there’s no way he will re-sign with the team. He’s happy being an Oiler and if the offer is competitive he will be back. The only reason this is even a discussion point is because of how awful the Nurse contract is and this was a totally self inflicted wound that should have obviously been avoided day 1 of the contract being signed.

this isnt what i expected to see😭 draisaitl trade would be wild

This comment section, video, and all of sdpn is so Toronto-pilled that they porject the issues of their market on every other place. Leon is going to sign long term its going to get done sooner rather than later, and that check is going to be blank. EDM loves Drai and Drai loves EDM. looking for stories where there really isn't one.

Go Habs Go

maybe Draisaitl sign for three or four years with Edmonton?

He will sign an extension eventually.

Oilers not gonna make it back there anytime soon, leon should get out while he can.

I don't understand why anyone thinks that the Oilers will trade Leon Draisaitl. After losing in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Oilers are looking for the piece that puts them over the top. Trading Draisaitl and starting a rebuild is insane. Trading Draisaitl and thinking your'e getting an upgrade is also insane. Oilers have one more year to win before Bouchard and Draisaitl reprice. You don't throw that away.

Leon for Marner

Horrible audio popping going on in this. Almost unwatchable

Flags bridge 🌉

There's so much risk, but father time tends to win more often than not. Will he age like Stamkos and few select others? Or will he decline to 3rd line level player on a bad team like John Tavares? Or do they think they're just 3 years away or less, in which case you keep him, then retire the day after they lift the Cup. I'd side more on getting a near franchise level defenceman, and a couple of picks on July 1st.

U tall peace absolutely 16 29 dizzy planet 😅

$13.5 it’s simple

Edmonton should try and get a better goalie than Skinner and run it back.

Wow 55 minutes is a long time just to say NO

A Leon-Marner trade would be wild. It won't happen ofc but it's fun to imagine.

Red Wings are making a bunch of cap space... Just sayin'

Leon could easily leave the Oilers if they play there cards wrong.

50:01 So for me (and I know this is controversial because Russia politics is close with their national sports and Ovi openly supports Putin last I checked not sure if he has said anything about Ukraine) but politics have no place in Hockey imo I we shouldnt ban a player from HOF or from being drafted just because he/she is Russian or Belarussian.

If i'm Leon, i'm holding out till trade deadline and waiting to see if Edmonton is in the playoff picture. If not, i'm walking. He's going to get paid elsewhere and he can play for a team that isnt based on him and McDavid carrying the team all year. But if he walks, I don't see McDavid staying either once his contract is up. Also being 1 game away from winning a cup isn't enough to make a player stay. Look at Zach Parise in 2012? 2 Wins away from winning the cup and he leaves to the Wild, and NJ falls apart into a selling phase 2 years later.

CJ TELL YOUR BOSS TO GET YOU A NEW MIC. @SDPN this podcast is nearly an hour long, and I'm not even 10 minutes in and can't deal with this audio. For a PODCAST COMPANY that's super weak.

Welp, they tried it and it didn’t work, so…

Wish talking heads like this Chris would STOP with the narrative that the GM of the finals are some how to busy to do what other GM are doing, the truth is that after the trade dead line the GM have NOTHING to do, they get up in the morning like everyone else and can make calls text , the same goes with Leon, im sure he and his family have talk about where they might want to live next and so forth, guys like Chris try and put out that players are like cyborgs , cant walk and chew bubble gum, No Chris , they have friends over during the payoff they go out with their family in short they live a life . Leon has talked to his agent his family and they all know by now if they are going to stay or leave , stop being a child.

COULD Leon get traded? Yes. Will he? Nah

So IMO I think its insulting to have only ONE WOMEN go into the HOF in a year. It feels like its "oh its 2022 so we have to have one woman in" and it just feels like the only reason they allow one woman is because they have to because its 2022 and u cant have a male only class. Its simliar to the WWE HOF and how often they only have one woman in their class.

Just trade leon for Nick cousin's, they are basically the same player

So is it just me...or did others just waste an hour watching this? A host gets paid for asking questions and another guy provides no facts about any trades...only his speculation on what might happen. I'm jealous...because I want a job like this too...and I am qualified for this job too....I have no knowledge or facts to provide either. Lol!

So, he played pretty good in the finals huh?

Stop spreading rumors Drai is going no where they will get the contract done guarantee.

Rich sheep bill me later 🎉

Sergei Bobrovsky should have won the Conn Smythe. The trophy should go to a player on the winning team, every time. I love that Datsyuk and Roenick got into the Hall.

Leon to wherever, McDavo' to the Leafs for a 1st rounder

If I were the buffalo sabers I would call oilers and the trade could be jj pertica, Jack Quinn, Anton Wahlberg, 2024 1st, 2025 1st top 10 protected, 2026 2nd, 2026 3rd then sign Leon 7x 14million a season

Facepalm click bait topic.

Giving $10 million to Kane and Toewes relegated a 3 cup team to a mid level team at best. Paying McKinnon resulted in salary shedding that turned Colorado from an unbeatable force into a good but not great team. Trade Leon and get a boatload for him and retool around mcd. Most importantly, get an elite goalie. The team will get better. Sign Leon we have to shed salary and get worse.

Julian must be living in rainbow land judging on his uncomfortable laughter of CJ calling out some colleagues. Buddy wouldn't last a day in the trades.

Leon and Connor will be former oilers by 2026 puck drop

Draisaitl needs to move out if he wants a shot at a cup. McOverrated coming up with 4 games scoreless isn't the way to win. He needs a teammate who's worth his contract and can show up in big moments. If I'm going to pay a guy 12+ million dollars a year, he better be stepping up and getting it done offensively. If I'm the head honcho of the oil stain, the first 2 lines are getting moved, because they played like absolute trash. Sad when your 3rd line has to bail out your "superstars " 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Congratulations Florida, you earned and deserved that cup victory.

Losers don’t win the Smythe. Plain and simple, “full stop”. 1. Barkov 2. McNoCup 3. Forsling/Bob
