Now Benning has leverage for Hughes. Hughes is closer to Dahlin than to Heiskanen.

That is IF they want to bridge him.

They are trying to go longer. Probably 8-8.5 for 6-8 years

Edit: the Canucks just released their official training camp roster. Hughes and Pettersson is on it 😳

He should get an 8-8.25 x 8.

Hopefully. Can finally end the Hughes mock trades for at least 7-8 years

Since none of its criminal (and hasn’t been substantiated) I still wonder if there’s a basis for termination

Tampa Bay Lightning defender Cal Foote has undergone surgery to repair a damaged tendon in his pinky finger, and will miss the first 2-4 weeks of the regular season, per GM Julien BriseBois. #GoBolts

William Nylander says he isn't fully vaccinated yet due to some medical things but will be fully vaccinated soon.

*leafs fans outrage ensues, trade Nylander comes back*

Now I’m wondering if Dallas will sign Dahlin in 4 years. Realistically Dahlin will get his QO for 1 year after his 3 year contract. Benn, Suter, Lindell and Faksa’s contracts end in 4 years.

Imagine a Heiskanen, Dahlin, Klingberg trio.

Interesting deal. He's surely one of the most underrated goalies in this league.

It also doesn't do any favor to the Leafs regarding Jack Campbell's next contract.

Alright so now there’s only Campbell (who will never be welcomed back to Dallas) and Fleury (who will be 38 years old) available on the FA market next year.

Oettinger’s price is now up to 10+ firsts because:

1). There’s no other goalies who’re competent and durable in our system
2). There’s no more options on the FA market.

Regarding the deal if I’m LA I would’ve added a couple years to the deal.

There is also Kuemper

There’s close to 0% chance that Joe Sakic loses his starting goalie after what he paid for, and for 1 year to their rivals.

Yeah probably Kuemper is staying

And no Alex Stalock, which is unfortunate :

From Ken Holland: unfortunately, Alex Stalock unlikely to play due to COVID-related heart condition. Very tough to hear (1/2)….

If Jesse Ylönen could say this publicly, that’d be great.

Per Yzerman, all Wings are vaxed except Tyler Bertuzzi

would me he can't enter canada

So unvaccinated players would miss:

31-34 games (Canadian teams)
10-11 games (Pacific US)
8-11 games (Central US)
7-10 games (Metropolitan US)
10 games (Atlantic US)

But remember Campbell is older

Also if we look at how the goalie market went for goalies around his age

Mrazek 3.8x3 yrs
Bernier 4.25x2yrs
Anderson 4.5x2 yrs
Grubaur 5.9x6yrs

So theres a pretty good basis for his extension.

Rn I got Campbell getting a Sorokin deal 4.5mill x 3 years.

TOR is screwed and this is at 66,666666% on Dubas (the 33,33333% is on COVID created flat cap)... Campbell will get a raise, Rielly will get at least 7,5M if not in the 8M range and he doesn't really have the room for both of those.

Good luck Kyle, good luck

I could care less about what he gets, we traded himfor a 7th.

I'd argue a lot of it is also on every GM giving their goalies with less than a season of play over 5 million dollars.

Weak.

He shouldn't be at camp if he's not vaccinated.

Not done yet, but sounds like #stlblues are working on an expanded role for former #Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli, who has served as advisor to Doug Armstrong. Official title TBA but perhaps VP of Hockey Ops.Also, Ken Hitchcock to rejoin STL organization as coaching consultant.

— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) September 22, 2021

Why does he always find a job lol

In general Leafs can afford giving Campbell 5mill and Rielly 7.5mill.

Yes it means Kerfoot will have to be moved but he was probs gonna get moved next season anyways.
