<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Ned was only going to play for Detroit as I believe it's where his fiancé lived, also there wasn't a cap dump in that trade, it was a third and the rights to Bernier. Either way this was the only option for Carolina.</div></div>

Need was available on waivers last season for free, why Edmonton didn't put in a claim is beyond me. Carolina had just claimed Edmonton's 3rd goalie and they had a known injury to their starter... it was a huge miss and was called out as such at the time.

Thread: This team needs help
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>Who is Michael Bunting and why is he worth $2M? He's a group 6 UFA with a grand total of 26 NHL games to his name. If you offer him a chance to play alongside McDavid, he's probably here for less than a million on a one-year deal. Two if we're extremely lucky. However, I'd prefer to not gamble on a genuine NHL nobody. I very much prefer the likes of Saad or Tatar as the future #1LW.

Wennberg is unnecessary: McLeod has shown that he has the chops to play as the #3C and isn't producing because he's had actual boat anchors for wingers. Likewise, buying Koskinen out is a poor use of his money and only serves to saddle Edmonton with dead cap for two years. Let him play out his deal: he's fine as a back-up. If you're concerned about the financials, send Neal and Russell to the AHL as well to free up an additional $2.1M.

I don't like that the Yamamoto deal walks him to free agency. Very much prefer a shorter deal at a lower AAV.</div></div>

I agree with everything you’ve said here. Especially about Yamamoto as he’s taken a large step back. Bunting exploded on the scene with Arizona and scored a bunch of goals in few games. Not worth 2 mill but has upside.
