It only applies to European players that are playing professionally overseas that get loaned to junior teams.

His 3 games with AIK put him in that category

LWs on higher cap teams:
Tatar
Pulkkinen
Pearson
Zucker
Burakovsky (would require a new deal in a year)
Hartnell

Just a few that could be a possibility of a trade

Might run into cap issues ourselves with a couple of them. Will have about 9.5m available after Cody goes on LTIR. after singing Rist and Gus Gus. Might have about 3m left .

Tatar is an absolute stud and on the verge of needing a contract in the 5 yr 5m per range.

Girgensons + for Burakovsky would work, but I have no idea if the Capitals need a center and would even want Girgensons, plus it would likely take a lot more to get Burakovsky from them.

Couldnt agree more, those were just a few names i could think of, with gio coming of the books soon it could be possible.

Regarding burakovsky, that will be interesting to see how they handle the contracts of carlson Kuzy and him in the next year or two

Tatar is a great target too. DET doesn't value him anywhere nearly as much as they should and Holland is terrible at asset management and cap management.

Speed kills in this league and Tatar can flat out fly

He has a great shot too and absolutely kills goalies blocker high. Also he is one of the better 2 way forwards in the league.

I think these are our 2 best bets. I feel like the kings would ask for too much for Pearson and not sure the wings move Tatar although he'd be ideal.

Really? Thats awesome

I think he's worth a shot. Rieder is listed as RW but I think he'd be a good fit on the left side here as well.

Pulkkinen is recovering from shoulder surgery right now but is definitely a guy that can score and needs to be given a legit shot at the NHL level.

September 17th will FINALLY kick off some hockey. 2 games in the World Cup that day (USA/Europe and Czechs/Canada). 2 games per day through the 22nd and then the playoffs go, with the finals on October 1.

Meanwhile, Sabres hockey starts on September 26 when the team plays at Penn State's Pegula Ice Arena vs the Wild. Buffalo has 7 preseason games which wrap up on October 7, regular season game 1 is Thursday, October 13 (ugh, nearly a full week after preseason ends...)
