Yeah Waddell said we're going to let him test the market and he said that talks between them are "So far apart right now"


Quoting: aadoyle

GM didnt want to give him 8mill so unless that changes he probs going to FA.

Chicago trades him to Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh trades him to Buffalo (for attitude issues)

Buffalo does not qualify him (dumb)

Edmonton does not qualify him (coach didn't like him)

Somehow I think he could be a free agent steal. Just don't play him in the top 6 and he will do well lul. Look at him in Pittsburgh


Kahun was on like a 15-goal pace this season and I seem to recall some drop-off in his fancies that suggested in a normal year he would have been good for about 20 assists. Quality 3rd line player just walking out of Edmonton.

Yeah he looked good than something went wrong, then he was healthy scratched brought back did well then fell off. I think pushing him into the top 6 was not the best course of action

But who knows

I think he could be a FA steal. Sign him cheap he becomes the guy Chicago and Pittsburgh saw and yeah. Or hes just bottom 6 depth for league min

I think it absolutely has a ton more to do with neither Holland or Tippett knowing how to evaluate NHL talent.

Like I knew Tom Dundon was cheap, but holy crap. I 100% understand why Bergevin was willing to offer sheet Aho now.

And with no side deals announced - I stand by my original statement: Francis absolutely whiffed this draft. Terrible billion dollar investment put into the hands of an imbecile

I know they wanted cap space but earlier I built a team that combined both aspects and they had 20mill in cap and some big names. People are saying Francis is betting on FA. Well great you could have had better talent for Free and not have to waste your time getting rejected through contract negotiations

Lol some teams apparently asked Fletcher for York and their top 15 overall pick to dump Gostisbehere. Not even an AHL-bound Ladd costed that much. Ghost doesn't even look out of place as an offensive #4 defenseman.
