Nuge isn't going anywhere.

And Bertuzzi at that joke of an offer.

So Boston, who needs cap space, is going to retain $4 million?

Hall was moved partly because he had no chemistry with McDavid last time

2 cap dumps and an ECHL player for a 2nd and 4th plus giving over a good bottom 6 center as well? Hard pass.

Cant see BOS giving both Hall, JD, along with a 3rd for RNH (Yamamoto is cap dump) let alone retaining salary on both

very poor trade for BOS

DeBrusk's and Hall's combined cap hits is $10 million. This trade is RNH ($5.125 million), Yamamoto ($3.1 million) and $4 million in retention, for a grand total of $12.225 million. So both teams would say No, because Edmonton won't operate with a 21-man roster and Hall and DeBrusk aren't what the Oilers need -- in case you hadn't noticed, scoring isn't their problem.
