I'm expecting a Canes blowout. Canes are too good and the Wings are just mailing it in at this point.

Glenny-Pens
Bernier-Caps
Staal-Flyers
Merrill-Vegas
Gagner-Flyers
Helm-Oilers 😉

Staal flyers, I didn’t guess it but that makes a ton os sense. Helm to Oilers, you go straight to hell, MI, pick up some grape soda at the one gas station there (and by the t shirt “i went to hell”) and watch him go to Winnipeg! Say no to Uncle Kenny Helm!

Solid picks though. You’re probably right

Avs grab Dubnyk from San Jose. Was thinking Bernier would have worked there, must be a concern about injury or a better deal. Sent Greg Pateryn and a 5th

pateryn (who we picked up by shedding ian cole’s crappy contract + degrading play earlier this season, and who’s at best a 7th dman, but he didnt even fit that fill-in role on this team) and a fifth rounder is an amazing deal.

bernier’s numbers are better even though both teams (detroit and the sharks) have struggled this year, and i would have liked bernier back. avs are now solidified at 2a though.

i wouldn’t put it passed sakic to add a depth forward before all is said and done. wouldn’t count out glendenning maybe, guess we’ll see.

I think Joe is the next evolution of Lou Lamarillo. He makes really good deals, he will let a player walk if their attitude sucks, and has busted his butt to try and keep costs down in a cap world. I’d love to see he and Yzerman do an interview like Ozzy and Roy did a few years back. Both fantastic hockey minds. Good trade, well done

Huge props to Gergeswillems, TB is working hard on Savard trade w/TB

What I love about Savard? He will go behind the net and be a nightmare. Most D men do a hard stop at the side of the net and wait for a play. Wish there were more like him

I still think Tampa deals their 1st Rd pick for Savard. He'd really stabilize their RD. Columbus would have to retain 50% hence the 1st. JBB could taxi Tyler Johnson to save a mil. LTIR Rutta who's injured "week to week."

It looks like Jarmo got Ben Thomas with the 1st. Columbus retains half.

You were right on top of this. I’m really impressed on this one G. Always glad to give props to someone who nailed it

Bernier (!/2 salary) and Ryan for a 3rd, Ryan gets LTIR til the play-offs and gets a shot at the cup!

This TDL plays well into the Wing’s hands, lots of low-priced options, room to retain salary on a few guys, could even take a crappy contract back...

After the dust settles, I think Glennie’s gone. Staal MIGHT go, would’ve included Ryan but he’s down....hopefully he’s signed to another year at much lower cost, Bernie’s been named in a few blogs, but the Avs are now out. I dunno, but there definitely needs to be some movement. I still see several low-price moves, might be a big $$ contract moving (Hall’s gone, just a matter of who takes him...). No big-names for Detroit, but some names we’ve seen for a while will probably be gone Tuesday. Oh, the times they are a-changin’....

I’m surprised at the LTIR moves being made this year. Bag a LTIR guy, bury his salary until the play-offs then Katie-bar-the-door. Kinda sneaky. Toronto did it with Nash today. Smart move, but cheap way of skirting the rules.

Lashoff sent to TB as part of the Savard package. CBJ got a first and third (2022), moved Savard temporarily to Detroit, who offload Lashoff and get a 4th

Stevie Y helping out his old buddy JBB...

To simplify the math: #TBLighnting acquired David Savard at 25% of his remaining salary/cap hit while sending 1st/3rd-round picks to #CBJ and 4th-rounder to #redwings for the trouble.

After #CBJ retained 50% of David Savard's contract, Detroit retained an additional 50% of the remainder before sending him to #TBLightning.

With cap space so tight, we will see more of this kind of trade before Monday's deadline.

Yep. We knew Detroit would depot some salary at some point. A 4th isn’t a bad price

Probably amounts to about$1.125M cap hit, probably about $1M in actual salary

Yeah , Wanna bet Lashoff comes back for Bernier?

Lashoff is going to remain with GR. Was simply just thrown in for the process and gives Yzerman 1 more SPC to take back in other deals to free cap.

I can see Glendening going for Lafferty. Gives Yzerman the option to protect Namestnikov

I’ve been saying Detroit could weaponize cap space. Good deal, need some good scouting for the 4th round though....

That's where Pat Verbeek comes in. Hopefully Kris Draper doesn't have any more sons who are draft eligible.
