Heard rumors Hall is open to taking a shorter deal on a team likely to make the playoffs (Steve Dangle Podcast). Assumed $9.75 million for the shorter term of 2 years.
Dubois and Gavrikov sign bridge deals with hopes of cashing in when cap increases again.
Wennberg gets bought out to make space.
Projected LTIR for Dubinsky, so $5,850,000 over the cap allowed (if I understand it correctly).
Anderson and Murray traded to clear up cap space, Harrington traded to clear up final necessary roster spot/cap space. All for picks to replenish those the Jackets had previously traded away.
Stenlund re-signed on a 1 year, $1.5 million deal.
Gerbe to the AHL; Peeke, Robinson, and Nash are scratches.
Future outlook: Foligno and Nash come off the books when Bjorkstrand and Texier are due raises, Savard may walk or extend at similar cap hit. Jenner and Hall come off the books in 2 years in time for extensions for Foudy, Bemstrom, Jones, Werenski, Nuti, Kukan, and one of Korpi or Merzlikins.
Murray to the Panthers per a Hockey Writers article from October 4th, but their suggestion of a 2nd rounder seems like too high a price.

Sending Harrington to a team that may need some depth at defense at a low cost, with the cap space to do it. With Klefbom uncertainty, EDM may be a fit.
