I think he is playing teams off one another.
He is waiting for a first to be out on table.
Don’t think Hall trade impacts unless it takes one of the suitors away from table.

PALM AND ZAJAC TRADED TO THE ISLAND

You called the Zajac to island a while ago. Nicely done.

Got your answer pretty quickly lol. Lou jumped on the 1st

And Palmieri

But I think we could've gotten more

Yeah buyers market. Every team is losing money. Take the obvious out of the buyers side in BUF, DET, OTT, ANA, NJD, LAK. Then take teams that don’t have cap space TBL, VGK, STL, WSH, and teams on the bubble that aren’t going to spend assets in SJS, AZ, NSH, CHI, CBJ, CGY, VAN, DAL, throw in teams that are tight to the cap like TML, COL and you have 20 teams. What teams will legitimately use LTIR to go for? People think they just because teams have space even with LTIR that owners who have been getting crushed have to sign off on it. Not saying it is impossible and it might take someone doing something but it’s 4 days to the deadline and there hasn’t been the cascade of small moves yet. Throw in the XD and if a team acquires anybody that isn’t going to be a UFA at the end of the year they may have to alter their XD plans you have a whole lot of uncertainty. And imo that uncertainty gives buyers the upper hand. Just my thinking.

No I just suck a proof reading my own stuff lol. It should have said Boston isnt

Well NYI pulled trigger on that

Still got Kulikov or Murray for you guys
Bjork, mid pick, whatever.

Nah lol.

For me O'Rourke was the best pick MN made last draft.

Yeah, I kinda figured you'd feel that way, he was the only pick that wasn't 5'9.
