1. I dig the sentiment. Replace all D. At least the main NHL group from this year. Its a reaction. I don't think it's an overreaction.
2. I think you absolutely need to keep 2 D spots available for the prospects to cycle in. Mukhamadullin should absolutely be in the NHL most of next year. Emberson and Thompson should see time as well.
3. I like most of the UFA signings. People argued with me about OEL wanting term. But 1 year to show and go to a contender at the TDL is a good option for a guy wanting silverware. Not feeling 6 years of Matt Roy. But my feels have betrayed me before.
4. Musty is a tough one. I don't think he's NHL ready, but probably doesn't have much he can learn in juniors except discipline, which he needs. Three teenage forwards would cause way Baby Shark references. I think he goes back and guys like Bystedt, Cardwell and Graf get some big league shifts with the last forward spot.

I think he's waiving it to leave Montreal ASAP. It's not working out and his career is on the line.
Maybe. But I would be surprised if he waives to go to SJ with 3 year left on his contract. He would want to be flippable to a contender in the event that he turns things around, and teams just don't want 3 year rentals.
