Defrost can't do that. We can't afford that deal next season. Would take alot more to convince us otherwise.

Well, I would certainly accept that offer as the Los Angeles GM. I'd feel a little guilty about it, too.

Uhh LA accepts

Edmonton isn't in the market for another LHD.

Palat is expensive but he drives play like a legit Top 6 Forward, even if the points aren't gaudy. There's no reason to throw away a first to get rid of a guy who is still valuable to the team especially if they aren't in a cap crunch yet. He's going to need to be gone in 2 years to sign the RFA's longterm but get the value out of him until then.

I can think of 6 million reasons to get rid of an over 30 LW

Would rather retain 2 mill AAV and ship him to Tampa for assets
