I dont see how Nashville retains $4mil, and then takes on Garlands contract- basically costing them over $9mil for 2 years of Garland... Studnicka might have some upside...but not that much, and if the Nucks added Monahan- why do they need Johanssen too? I dont think anyone gets Monahan that cheap.
Despite the poor year for Comtois, I dont see them trading for an older player with a big contract, theyre a few years from competing for a playoff spot- and Boesers deal will be expiring then, while Comtois should be entering his prime years. They dont have cap issues- so there is no reason to move Comtois unless they think hes not a good fit, or he is clashing with mgmt- but nothing Ive heard suggests they want to move on from him.
I can see them moving on from Rathbone- with how well Hirose showed (and Wolanin) along with Hughes on the leftside- adding Rathbone makes their D one of the smallest in the NHL- assuming they move on from Myers. Hronek and Bear arent exactly big dmen either.
