I feel like Bailey for Hoffman on paper isn’t an upgrade for either team, but maybe the Isles benefit from getting a different kind of player? Not sure

Eh, the $500K difference between Bailey and Hoffman's cap hits isn't a big enough deal to make the downgrade in player - it's basically a trade for the sake of making a trade.

I could see Chuck Fletcher making that deal to save the cap space, but that's not saying much. I could see Chuck Fletcher needing to take a week off because he stared directly at the sun for too long, too.

Too much money for Dach

The KK special

We might have Bedard next year too

The Flyers give up on Ratcliffe and Ginning for a lateral move of 1/yr 7M for 1/yr 5M...JVR will hopefully score a few goals and get moved at the deadline for a 2nd or a 2nd and a 3rd after the Flyers retain half of his salary.

Hoffman trade isn't bad but considering how Lou wouldn't even sign him to a PTO at one point doubt this happens. Fair trade tho
