Description

The team didn't change much. I resigned the important pending FA's (Kadri, Manson, NAK and Lekhonen). I decided to let go Burakovky and Nichushkin since they would be too expensive and I personally think that they can find a better goalie than Kuemper. I decided to trade for John Gibson from Anaheim in exchange of Foudy, who is a good prospect and 2024 1st round pick. Compher is to balance out the cap. I also took Drouin from Montreal. I'd like to see if him and MacKinnon can work out like they did in Halifax while playing in the Q.

re-signed the important ufa's but didn't didn't re-sign nuke? what.

not a fan of drouin, too soft and a passanger, but the price is fair

not enough for gibby

mason isn't worth that imo. 4x3.5m maybe.

Fair with no retained for drouin, but we might as well keep him till the TDL and trade him then if that's the return we get. Habs decline

A couple of bottom-6 forwards and an over-the-horizon first for five years of a starting goaltender? That's a joke, never mind the second.

Paid NAK too much.
Paid Manson too much.
You didnt sign arguably the most important UFAs COL has which is Kuemper and Nichushkin?????
Kuemper is both better AND cheaper than Gibson at 6.4mil AND Kuemper would only cost money without giving up trade pieces to ANA.
Then you just let Nichushkin walk for absolutely no reason?
Drouin is trash and a waste of 2.75mil in cap space.
NAK on the second line??
