You can probably get more separately

Hoffman is going to Boston. Sorry kiddo.

from the Ottawa deal? yes. but I could care less because look at the lineup.

he’s not there yet....

and they said that about hall too

You’ll get a good piece back for Armia. You’re diminishing his value by including the others.

Don’t sign Hoffman. Think of what you could lose by protecting any of these assets in the expansion draft.

Idc if you include a first round pick so they don't touch anyone you want, thats an amazingly deep team, even if just for this year. If that leads to a cup or close, it has paid off. Yes aria is great, and as said above, I wasn't looking to realize the full value of each player in that trade.

That’s fine. How would you protect this team? 7-3-1 or 8 skaters and a goalie?

This lineup turns into a cap nightmare as early as next season. If the cap stays right at or around the 81.5 mark. You have KK to sign plus the raises already given to Gallagher, Petry, Allen. Plus the up to 6 regular pieces that are free agents and you Are looking at a situation where you are looking at 2 million to sign 6 or 7 players to fill out a roster. Adding that Hoffman contract would be a crippler.

7 3 1, but ask them nicely to take whoever you want to get rid of.

Might be Josh Brook, not even on this squad.

Correct, win the cup and I dont care.

Thats what I mean.
