Don’t think the bruins would take labanc

Detroit's not giving up those picks just so the Sharks can buyout Vrana, What a joke Detroit doesn't need the cap space. And we decline big time.

Detroit does not have cap issues. Zero reason for them to have to pay to rid themselves of Vrana's cap hit next season. Best case is he comes back and recovers from his personal issues and scores at previous rate. Worst case is he doesn't and just ride out the last year of his contract

Why would San Jose take on a buyout at all? Rather have the cap space than spare picks. Would want a better return for Meier and Benning too

Barabanov, sure. You can keep Reimer. He isn't an improvement over DeSmith and is a little more expensive.

I could see the Sabres doing something like that
Meier makes sense for us

Insanely hard pass from Detroit. We have ZERO need, or desire to do that.

Sj adds in ek65 at 50% retained to the wings deal

Buffalo accepts

Pens take that deal if you retain 50% on Reimer
