Well when Matt Pegula is in charge of designing hats for the Sabres ….. he is also playing gm. He didn’t have time to throw on the old Xbox to make trades
- Sabretooth9

You do know that New Era creates a bunch of designs and he picks three of them right?

I’m all for the Pegula bashing when it’s justified but not over a hat…

How are they going to do that when the Sabres protect him?

. Seattle has exclusive signing period for all up coming ufa's

It's time they move on from him.

He's oft inured, and if you bring him back, it feels like they'll need 3 goaltenders, not 2, due to his injury history.
- kingcong39

I think anyone we get is going to have some question marks associated with him. I'd be fine getting him back on a short term deal

Matt Pegula must be blind then.

This. Thx

The leafs have Campbell. I know they have had interest in ullmark in the past.

But I don’t think they have the space for him

8.5 mil left

maybe they sign Zach Hyman, maybe they let him walk

if they bring back bogo and thornton it's on the cheap

They let hymen agent talk to teams
But didn't allow Anderson

This is wrong as teams can protect UFA's. They do not have an exclusive signing period for any UFA that is protected by a team.

If the Sabres protect Ullmark, Seattle cannot negotiate with him unless he makes to actual free agency.

Anderdog is wrong sir.

Teams can protect UFA's specifically to give the team more time to negotiate with the UFA before they hit free agency.

I'm not sure of the details but they can sign a ufa and it'll count as their pick

Hyman gone
- Michael Pachla

never know, he might only get a 5 mil offer elsewhere and decide to extend with leafs for hometown discount

It only counts as their pick if they sign the UFA during the 3 day exclusive window from today through 7/21, but they are not allowed to negotiate with or sign any UFA's that are protected by any teams as part of their expansion protection lists.

That's probably correct. But if they don't protect him, they can negotiate

Hyman gone

Agreed. I think that's why they traded for his replacement (McCann)

correct

Can't see the leafs blowing more than half of their remaining space on Ullmark.

Thats a pretty big risk and it will be like 4x5m it will handcuff them in the future too.

not sure that counts as a trade

pens took a beating on that one

Yes, pending unrestricted free agents can -- and likely will -- be selected by Seattle in the expansion draft.

Of the players Seattle selects, at least 20 of the 30 players must be under contract for the 2021-22 regular season. The other players they select are allowed to be pending free agents, but they can not select any more than 10 pending free agents.

Protected lists are due July 17th, and the expansion draft is on July 21. Free agency doesn't open until a week later on July 28. Until free agency opens, teams still hold the signing rights to their pending unrestricted free agents. That is, unless Seattle takes them.

It's believed TOR went 4-4-1 with its list. I've heard the team informed both Alex Kerfoot and newly-acquired Jared McCann that they will be left unprotected -- which means the Maple Leafs know at least one cannot be selected by the Kraken...

NRD saying that Jets are exposing Demelo and protecting Copp,

Interesting

I don’t want to pay him 6 mill a year
- Sabretooth9

I always wanted Kuemper and he’s on the trading block, but, with the current state of the team he wouldn’t make much sense; putting lipstick on a pig type thing.

That they're going to protect Ullmark as their long goaltender, which means Seattle cannot negotiate or sign with them until free agency begins.

Who else would they protect as their goaltender? Hutton? Houser? They can't protect Tokarski.
