Isles deadline

With Muzzin gone. They need a big Defenseman on the cheap.

Colorado needs grit and someone who can take the body going into the playfoffs. Cutterbuck is the perfect guy on the 4th line. Jost has never panned out for Col and the Isles need some speed.

I thought either TB or Pitt. Went with Pitts, Parise has played very good for the Isles. Parise has a motor that doesn't quit, good forechecker and still has some jump. On a Vet team like Pitt, he bring even more playoff experience to go with their great core. I know a 2nd sounds like a lot but teams will all be going for Parise to play on the 3rd line. He's only making $750K with all the cap problems playoff teams have, he's a true bargain.

We all know Edm needs a goalie. I don't think Fluery is going there. I think he'll end up in either Vegas (Lehner out) or Col (Kemper is horrible), Fluery does have a say where he goes. He won't go to Boston or Wash because of his time with Pitts (as it's be reported). I don't think he'll want to go to Edm. I think this is the most realistic deal. Varly is under contract next year too at a reasonable 5M hit. Koskinen helps the cap issues for this year. Edm still keeps their 2022 1st rounder (good draft). Seems like a fair win, win for both teams.

Bailey is only owed 3.5M for each of the next 2 years. Rask offsets the salary cap issue this year. Bailey brings proven playoff numbers and experience.
