Let me preface this statement with i really wouldn't mind this , but Tampa Bay can't afford the cap hit. Didn't Hamonic say he only wanted to play in western Canada other than another 200 miles south to sunrise can't get further from western Canada

van could retain half of it and tampa could utilise taxi squad until playoffs, the main issues is the no move clause that hamonic would have to waive

Pretty good. A 1st for a guy that would be a healthy scratch on Phil.

Jake Bean for a guy with one point.

With Bean’s current play, a swap for Virtanen isn’t going to get it done for the Canes

See edit on that

I guess a temporary move for a legit shot at a Cup could appeal to him.

i think a first for edler might be a bit much and he would have to want to leave, maybe a second and a 3rd from the year after. i think pearson could fetch a late second and i could also see and edler for bean trade if Carolina really wants to go all in. especially with the expansion draft.

Can't imagine why you'd think the Blues would even consider that. And not just because they have no cap available for it.

Edler is not waiving, Hamonic is not waiving he only wants to play in western Canada, MTL doesn't need Sutter and his cap hit, Canes don't need Virtanen. STL decline as well.
