Highly unlikely Scandella has his hometown listed on his 7-team no trade list. MTL is in need of an NHL caliber defenseman on the left side this year and the UFA market is running pretty thin at this point. I think Scandeezy fits in well with that group.

No one cry cap in the comments, please. Price is destined for LTIR, unfortunately. C'est la vie.

All this shit is headed to Calgary. Well, other than the '23 3rd rounder. Just predictable asset management by recouping a pick for the one lost by shedding Scandella's contract.

First and foremost; thank you for your services to the organization, and all those tucks over the years, Vladi. We'll always have 2019!

The Isles finally get an elite goal scorer for Barzal, while simultaneously shedding Bailey's contract. This is likely a cheaper cost than it would be to acquire JT Miller.

The Isles likely prefer Miller over Tarasenko, but the rumor could be true that Lou is holding a grudge against VAN for leaking the deets of a Miller trade on draft night. Classic Lamoriello.

Nonetheless, Vladi isn't waiving for Calgary or some other shit hole team. NYI is a good team despite last year's results. Welcome to the island, Vova.

The Prince That Was Promised.

If this doesn't land Matthew, trade him to the Thrashers. His Daddy played there too.
