Yes please

Simmonds traded to Buffalo for a 2021 5th

EDIT: Conditional 5th, can become a 4th if sabres make the playoffs and Simmer plays 10 games. So its staying a 5th

Guess better than nothing

The cap hit probably scared a few teams away, but that's a late pick for next year

Maybe that helps cap wise for vats but I see no reason why buffalo traded for him and the need to retain

Not sure buffs cap space

A fifth in 2021. Uggh. Getting ugly quickly here.

no, this is great. That means one of Merkley/Anderson isn't getting scratched for a useless Simmonds. Big win here.

It's actually terrible if thats all Fitz does today. Still 3 hours to go but not feeling it.

No i think we retained that, not Buff.

A fifth in 2021. 50% makes this horrific as can only retain on one more player. Uggh. Getting ugly quickly here.

Yes I know we retained, I just don't see why we needed to unless buffalo is near the cap or if we trade vats and we go under the cap floor

Ohhh gotcha, misread... Well, only a few hours left so we'll find out soon.

they are actually cap strapped. To me this screams that we're not trading Palmieri and just sending Vats out. This is fine.

Parise to the Isles

If there is something Lou is consistent at, it's going for it. Will be watching some more Islanders games now!

Vats to Carolina. Prospect and pick coming back
