Solid deal for both sides, Edmonton gets a quality bottom 6 player and Arizona gets a decent pick. Dineen for Kesselring is basically a wash.
Super disappointing move by the Coyotes to use their retention slot on Bjugstad instead of Ghost/Chych though. They could have done much better in those two deals.
who is even left to be traded tomorrow at that point.
Klingberg and Kulikov were held out last night, and Conor Sheary might gather some interest if Caps don't think he'll re-sign, but it sure does feel that tomorrow will be quiet.
Hard to have “Hockey in The Desert™️” when you can barely scrounge enough players together to play.
Does Bettman really think throwing Bedard into this situation is going to somehow work out?
Not like Bjugstad was going to be under contract for ARZ six weeks from now anyway. Good for them, and good for him.
Does seem a pittance to retain salary on his contract, but a team like EDM needed every penny. Chychrun would have tied up a retention slot for three years. That’s the one baffling part about the 4% retention on Ekholm—the term of it. The cost is negligible, but that slot could prove valuable.

We've got one Jonathan Drouin still up for grabs!! Going once, going twice .... ......

................ anyone? even half retained ???? .........
.................. we'll throw in an injured Sean Monahan ......
I voted Arizona here. They got a third and a player who is an RFA in a year from now in exchange for a player who wasn't coming back and someone who will likely be a career AHLer.

There are three more Canucks players who have been rumoured to be on the move. I doubt all three of them will movie. In fact, I would be surprised if any did, but it is possible.
