why do you think anyone’s gonna trade for a ufa? If you sign them then good for you, you’re keeping them and teams will look elsewhere. Not that ottawa needs a goalie anyway

Take the price you’ve put on OEL. Divide it in half. Divide it half again. Cut that in half one more time for good measure, and you might be at the value for a 50% retained OEL.

In no instance will you ever get a return like that for OEL.

I would do OEL at 2.5 million retained and Dvorak for Skjei, Gardiner( if he isn’t LTIRed), Bokk and a 2nd

Dvorak’s value is brought down some by the actual dollars of OEL’s and its length.

Habs says no

too much for Dvorak

Mysak, a third and a 2nd for Dvorak now we're talking

You really think that’s what OEL is worth? You’d be lucky to get a single asset back for him without retention. Why wouldn’t canes just sign Dougie if they want to go long term big dollars on a dman? Dougie is way better and younger. Makes no sense.
