So far a pretty lacklustre FA for us.
We currently have the second lowest cap hit in the league. However, we have signed 23 players, whereas Ottawa (the lowest), are about 5 mil below and have 5 more players to sign.
Also, our goalies - woof!

Correcting a wrong from years ago. Good

So why did this trade take nearly 24 hours to complete? It’s a standard top 10 protected pick…
Maybe the league was stepping in begging Buffalo not to make another awful trade involving a reliable two way forward.

Have no talking heads commented on this yet?

If the RFA market is this rubbish, I hope KA starts offer sheeting everyone

This is a weird trade. I have never known such a slow lag between announce and the pieces being confirmed.

Man if Rhino goes for a late first, average goalie who was drafted in the 7th round and a 13th forward we have massively screwed up. He would have got more at the deadline

Jack gone honey bun. And that’s the right move - the earth is too salted for progress now. We aren’t a playoff team next year.

Urgh McCann to Tor. We could have used him

Link? I don't think this is correct.

Another thing to consider - if Jack gets traded before his NMC starts, the team he is traded to can chose to reject the NMC. This meaning he will have no protection for the reminder of his 5 year contract.
Means if the team tjay acquire him don’t like him, they can also trade him with no limits

If Yandle is bought out, and we trade Eichel / Risto. I would be up for signing Yandle as a cheap 6th D man / power play specialist

I think I’ll be disappointed regardless of the trade. I think we will end up trading for volume - getting five players back, all of them young but with low end second line ceilings and a couple of picks
-
Was Nightingale promoted? I feel he has had about 7 different job titles this year

Happy with this if Eichel gets traded

The GM who signed Tkachuk to a contract where his next qualifying offer would be that high was an idiot.
Or a genius. It was a deliberately poisoned chalice offer sheet

You aren’t getting Gibson. Trading for Jack is to compete now. You don’t trade away your franchise goalie for that.
But the rest of your deal looks good: Zegras, 3 OA, Comtois, one more pick or prospect for Jack and Olaf.
True. I would like Gibson though...
-
Zegras, 3rd OA, Comtois + Gibson for Eichel + Olaf

Sure it is, that's the scouting departments main purpose... to evaluate and rank the prospects.
And the police's job is to investigate crime - doesn't mean they put the same level of resource across all crimes.
Having a second pick in your top ten changes your drafting strategy. BPA is a vague and nebulous term. Moreover, it changes your trade prospects

"preparing for another top 10 pick"?
what does that even mean?
ALL teams should be evaluating ALL the prospects regardless of current draft position.
That's simply not how resource management works
-
I like Wood. He is a good 3rd line LW. I have no idea what Risto's trade value is. I suspect it is more than people think
-
What is driving the rumours that Power may hold out and refuse to sign with Buffalo?
-
In such a weak draft, following a COVID year, and last years firing of all buy about 5 scouts I am not that excited about the draft.
I imagine if we pick we will do so poorly - probably half compiled from media scouts lists.
if we trade it we will get little in return due to it being a weak draft; with disrupted scouting and no clear number one.
Lets see what Adams does with it - certainly another tool to work with. But I imagine we will likely be looking at a top five pick for the next few years.

Georgiev has requested a trade from NYR. Maybe they can get him?
