I dont think stuff fell through, outside of pesce maybe. He's the only guy where, if he were to move, Id say i prefer that deal to what they got out of clifton.

The rest of the FA D aren't good and Hanifin isnt worth nearly half his trade ask from calgary. Or the contract he'll get after.

I have a hard time imagining Johnson was high on their list, but I'm sure Adams will say he was.

Sabres missed out on John Hayden AGAIN

For 3rd pair? I mean i dont think theres a list for that. all 3rd pair d-man have the same issues, just pick one who will sign for least term.

Who is left for it? PIT, BUF, NJ ?

They probably wont move him in division but Id try for forsberg now that the sens are committed to korpisalo.
- Michael Ghofrani

Yeah. Quiet on the Gibson front too.

1st overall drafted d man on each pair

so there is that

I’m guessing it the 1st time 3 number 1 picks on the back end on the same team.

1 year guy with a ton of leadership experience. I'm not surprised what so ever they added an Okposo on defense.

They crave that poop.

Do I like the play on ice? Welp. Hope the nerds see something I don't. I can't defend this one like I did the Stillman trade, yet.

5.25 million for Jost and Johnson

Its one year. That isn't bad for Jost.

When you already have Lyubushkin with a year left, I am surprised.

Why not give the 5.25 to someone like Mayfield.

Cause he is resigning with the Islanders

My thinking is he’s an off ice mentor to Power and just some veteran presence

Craig Smith + Duchene for 4 mil total is nice business for Dallas.

Might be my early favorite to come out of west next year

He was a good name like 5 years ago. I do like Duchene for them a lot tho

Goalie market getting thinner and so is the Hellebyuck market

The stars might align for a weaker return and weaker extension for us

Wh6 would he re-sign now. Why not wait until next year as a UFA?

He could.

I also am not opposed to getting him with no guarantee of an extension

Brossoit back to Winnipeg. Another option off the board.

So I’m not kidding here but…Evan Rodrigues anyone??

Rosen + Jokiharju + 2024 1st for Hellebyuck (no deal in place) and Demelo.

Who says no?

That would be Skinner situation all over, IMO of course. Could get ugly or walk for nothing.

Would have taken him over jost. And girgs, of course.

Where did Jarry go?

Buffalo, all day. Bad asset management

Let him walk then imo.

This year is the most important year for goaltending for two reasons

A. Can’t let it torpedo your season
B. Levi needs to be properly handled this year
