      Well they had to "overpay" given the position they were in. Though I did propose that exact trade earlier (except I had zona taking on Johnson's contract so I think it was fair value for both sides.

      Gee, you have a totally unpractical 20 man roster and no cap. Eric Johnson isn't waiving his 6m NMC for Buffalo.
      "Should have signed Saad". The concept of UFAs, is they can sign anywhere

      I agree they should have kept Saad. There is a hole in the top 9 that makes me nervous. Grubauer, maybe. I don't love his contract, but I also don't love the price they paid for Kuemper.

      The rest I could do without. Just move Compher for cap purposes and it's done. No need to get fancy.

      I wanted to start as if it was the beginning of free agency so I put those players in LTIR to unsign them since their cap hit doesn’t count and there is no actual way to unsign them.

      That pretty much sums up perfectly what they should have done.

      I mean it’s a 20 man roster. What if there’s injuries?
