Chicago asks for Pastrnak and Lindholm too, 50% retained on both.

Sadly, in this case, I just may very well be being reasonable.

The title and the RFAs signings are the few things that makes sense here.

Hey. It's the Boston Globe trade. Hawks say no thanks. They'll hang on to Bedard.

And AZ declines too.

Yes - the Boston Globe trade. I agree with you - if I'm Chicago, the 1st pick is just not for sale.

Curious on AZ though.... why would they decline? Their main concern is reaching the debt floor, and if you can trade the rights to a guy on his couch for 2D that would be top 4 on their team - without moving further from the debt floor, that sounds like a home run to me. No?

Guy it was a proposed trade by the Bruins beat reporter in the Boston Globe today that everyone is discussing. I think it's crazy too. I was playing it out, calm it down and relax...

Can't imagine anyone wants to be the GM "who traded Bedard"

Regarding AZ. It's simple economics. Yes, Weber is sitting on the couch, but since he's out w/ a career ending injury, his contract is 80% covered by insurance. His cap hit is $7.8m. But his actual salary the next 3 years is $1m. AZ has to pay 20% of that ($200,000). If you can only sell 4,600 tickets per game, would you rather pay Weber $200k to sit at home, or the 3 Bruins $8m to play for you. Same cap hit. Really a pretty easy decision I think.

That's why they traded for Little and Voracek too. The 3 have a cap hit of roughly $21m. But they only cost AZ about $2.5m in real money. Pretty ideal for a team with such a limited revenue stream.

Get your tickets now for "Arizona Coyotes Legends Night!"

For only $20 you'll get to meet former Coyotes legends Pavel Datsyuk! Marian Hossa! Chris Pronger! And Shea Weber!

Plus you'll get to meet Shane Doan who is currently telling former Red Wings player Justin Abdelkader that he should be "ashamed of himself" for only scoring 10 goals one season while playing with Datsyuk and Zetterberg!"

If you call right now you'll get a free Coyotes Auston Matthews bobblehead! Limit is 2. Same number of points Matthews scored in the Florida series!

That's 1-800-AUSTON-IS-COMING

Coyotes ticket executives are standing by to take your orders now!

Sharks decline. Benning is movable for the right price. 2nd pair D and had a great year in that role, a career year in points, and is on a cheap contract for 3 more seasons. San Jose has no need to trade him for a 4th and a 7th. I think it would take a 2nd to get him out of San Jose at this point

I agree, which is hilarious to me given that I'm on record as being *furious* about that contract just under a year ago. He shut me up but good this year!

I hated it too, still don’t love the term but he’s still young enough and it’s low enough that it shouldn’t be a problem
