How is it that the "insiders" were able to leak every single pick of Seattle's, but somehow go radio silent on side deals/trades, etc.? They know the deals, why aren't they leaking them already?

I don’t think there were any. A few guys said there were “lots”, then David Amber said there “weren’t many”, and this morning Pitlick (who is apparently a real person) is going to Calgary and that leaked an hour ago and for all we know that was negotiated last night/this morning.

We’ll find out in the next 60 minutes I guess.

NYI has money for top tier talent to fill in the holes and they're gonna go blow $5 or $6 mil on these two lol

LOL... didn't realize that until now.
Seriously, Yzerman can fleece anyone at anytime.

I'm getting the feeling the goalie market ain't that hot. I know unproven and RFA but that's a steal.

Also Seravalli said this here:

New York has been seeking a suitor for goaltender Alexandar Georgiev. The ask is believed to be a first-round pick. It’s unlikely Georgiev, who is also seeking a fresh start, will fetch that price.

Which makes it even funnier that further down that post Frank says the Oilers may be feeling OK going with a Smith-Stalock tandem in goal

Not for nothing but Dubas should've been in on Nedeljkovic at this ask.

Exactly. That is less than what the Penguins gave Jarry. And Jarry wasn't as good in his small sample size prior to the contract.

AZ's second "Nothing in return" trade of the week lmao

So, this isn't cap circumvention?!?

So, this isn't cap circumvention?!?

The spirit of the cap has only been violated one time.

 

[dash]

I mean, even Kris Draper was traded for a dollar.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Given how badly Vancouver needs the cap space and his total money is less than what's left to Ghost or Ladd (more actual cash in one year but Ladd & Ghost both have 2 left & are owed more in that span) and no cap hit in 22-23 I can't really understand why Benning hasn't dumped Loui on Arizona yet. May have missed his shot here.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Lmao

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

No surprise.
