Rangers decline even though they’re dumping goodrow

While I'm sure Philly would do that, they can't. We only have 1 retention slot open after being involved in the Hanifin deal.

Canes don’t need this much retention on Buch and def don’t want/need Ryjo.

Yeah - I actually just noticed that you retained on Hanifin last night - my bad. Would have to add some 4th team.

So wait, we're paying Philly a 2nd for 3.7M in retention? Super steep, no?

More importantly, I do not think Morrow is quite as promising as some people seem to think. In fact, lots of prospect pundits don't think he's that promising.

You can't retain 2 times on Johansson he's already been retained once down to 4 from 8 million

I put him in here because Blues would want Drury in this scenario. You say you don't need that much retention but don't you have guys to resign next season? Would you have interest in a Kevin Hayes or do you have the center depth to be able to afford losing Drury?

No - you didn't read it very well. Canes are paying the 2nd. Which pundits don't think he's promising?

I don’t really like any of this besides getting Buch, seems too complicated.

ah - thanks. Need to take him out anyway as Phil can't retain a 4th time -didn't realize they retained on Hanifin last night.

You can have a pick or a prospect instead of Lindy if you want. Making a big change like that to your D-core right before the playoffs is bad timing.

Hold up. If Ryjo has to come out of the deal, then the Flyers are only there to retain on our purchase, so the 2nd is coming to us as partial payment and then we pay out the 2nd. Carolina is not going to pay for our retention. That's how I read it, but okay.

I made it before I realized that Johansen could not be part of deal.
