Thread: Going all in with Krejci and Bergeron returning
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dk325</b></div><div>No chance Foligno ends up back in Columbus. Zero space for him and he specifically has a 16 team no trade list so he can block any of the non-playoff teams. Boston is either gonna have to find a contender to take him, keep him or buy him out.</div></div>

Columbus has 16mil in cap with only 2 free agents, I don’t think they’d be opposed to taking on cap dumps to pick up some assets. I went through the league though and figured there’s a chance Columbus might not be on his no trade list—there was a lot of speculation that he would return to them in free agency after being traded to the leafs. I don’t think it’s off the table for him to be open to going back. Although it would be a scummy thing to do, bruins could also leverage the situation by telling him he can choose between waiving for a non-playoff team with the space to take him or Providence. And he would certainly not choose Providence.

Thread: Expansion draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Yeah but they traded Graves, so that’s kinda a mulligan. Unless Sakic AND Landy are playing 4D chess together to get teams like STL to do stupid things there is no way the Avs will give him that. They reportedly offered Panarin $12M but wouldn’t move off of 4years.</div></div>

True about Graves, think that was a very good deal for them though. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see with Landeskog. Not only would it be stupid for someone to pay him 9mil, I still just can’t see him turning down 7mil from Colorado. I wouldn’t put it past Sakic to use this as a major smokescreen though. Get Landeskog on other team’s radars just to re-sign him just before free agency opens and mess up others’ plans.

I will say this though, the main reason I was so adamant in thinking Landeskog would be unprotected as a UFA is because I was certain they had already agreed to a deal under the table and were just waiting to make it official until after the draft. When I heard they were far apart in negotiations I then began to think they might protect him.
