Opener

We really should not retain on Armia. 3 retentions limit means we can only retain on 2 players at the TDL.

Whatever.

It's going to cost more than that to dump Armia, even with retention. You've got the cap room, just leave him in the press box or bury him in the minors - nobody's gonna touch that contract going through waivers.

Hughes said he wont Dump Cap or Pay to move any of those guys
Hoffman , Armia and Dvorak all have interested party's and he's turned down deals as he values them.


Since Price elected to pass on Surgery he's officially out of the year , Byrons out til Christmas and Eddy is facing an identical injury that put him out til after Christmas last year.
MTL's cap space is more then fine out issue becomes we are 1 man over unless we send Barron down. Rumors are that 1 man is likely to be Jake Evans who's had interest ever since signing his very team friendly deal with term. Like Toffoli i think Hughes will take advantage of a teams need and desire to compete now moving him for piece's he'll later flip to get the Elite RD he talks weekly about trying to acquire(especially since Lundkvist went off the market)

A deal i think we might see is VGK Karlsson for Evans deal
They cant pay Hague or get cap compliant without moving him
