They're not going to retain on Smith. Third team maybe, not pens.

Also why leave $6.3M on the table....

They want to get younger according to Dubas. I would say that probably eliminates locking up high dollar near 30 year old UFA's on long term deals

this team is so bad. This is never going to happen.

No one is giving Roslovic that contract..... No one.

yes, but they also want to compete. You can do both.

Leaving $6.3M of cap space while you still have the core is a waste.

I don't see why CHI would pay a 2nd round pick for one year of a player they don't need and a pending UFA goalie. You wouldn't need to retain either.

I'd be looking to sign a better Center and move malkin to LW and wouldn't spend nearly $3M on a 3rd pair Defenseman. Having $7M tied up in a 3rd pair is awful management.

I don't think Eller will be on the team, they won't retain on smith.

They most likely aren't dealing Jake to vegas.

You're leaving a lot off the table.
