Still need to give up a second + to get Murray and a 1st

Interesting proposal for CBJ. It’s probably fair value as a move to dump Elvis, while also picking up a potential 1C fill-in until Fantilli is ready..

Issue is I’m not sure Blackwood is any better, so in net feels like a lateral move, if not a step backward.

Don’t mind that the Canes trade, but I highly doubt that Grier makes that move.

all the UFAs should come in below what you posted. especially Puljujarvi- he wont get half that. Dumba shouldnt be more than $4.5mil on a short contract- he had an awful year, and should rebound- but he doesnt have much leverage. He may be this years Klingberg.

I would take Merzlikins over Blackwood any day, Elvis has shown flashes of being a good NHLer..much more than Blackwood. I dont see Columbus trading away a 1st round pick though- because it very well could be another lottery pick if they dont fix the goaltending/defensive play.

that list of draft picks though would make any gm drool.

I was a very big Blackwood guy as a rookie, but yeah, I wouldn't expect anything from him now. I think it's a fair value, especially considering the 1st is in 25 and not next year. Just a question whether they think they'll have an answer in net or not. I'd maybe try and push for 500k more retention on Couture, but that's probably pushing it. I really would not mind this as all (though I can't see it actually happening). I've really liked Couture with retention as an option at C for CBJ, just don't think SJ would be keen on another longer term retention

No one is giving you the Mrazek deal for Murray, Dubas duped a rookie Gm in chicago and Murray can stay healthy for 5 min. FC is about where the Murray discussions start

Lol, Murray had better numbers than Mrazek and is a cheaper buyout

Canes smash accept.

Pens can't take that deal unless they move Cap, whether it be to SJS or elsewhere, can only happen if they move cap out.

Edmonton declines.
