I wouldnt give Mittelstadt that yet. He probably gets like a 1 year 1 M deal to prove he can stick in the NHL

Not trading a top 7 pick, a top 4 D, and a cap dump for a much lower 1st and a low 2nd. That's ridiculous

Okposo is a big cap dump. I gave up Ristolainen for a 2nd because his contract is bad and I couldnt find a team that would want him. Dumping them gives the cap space to sign Hall and Edmunson. The Sabers have had a ridiculous number of high draft picks but still can't make the playoffs...

Ristolainen is on a fine contract. Hall would quickly turn into a bad contract, as would Edmunson (but to a lesser extent). We can't make playoffs because we still have a lineup full of fringe-NHL players and a non-existent 2nd line

The 2nd line is pretty decent with Reinhart and Olofsson.

I don't see the Edmunson deal turning bad over 2 years.
