isles say no for reasons that should be obvious, that trade is terrible

re: Isles trade - justify Pageau's $5M cap hit for the rest of the term on his deal with how forward-heavy their payroll is... they need to dump salary desperately

So confused on the NYI and COL trade

The rest are all probably veto'd by the hawks.

not really, they have plenty of cap next season and beyond, and they’re not giving up a first and their top prospect to shed salary regardless. it hasn’t been pageau’s most prolific offensive season but he’s got more value to the team than that.

The avs easily reject this

Avs might be interested in De Haan but not MAF and certainly not at that price. Rangers trade seems bad for Chicago, and I agree with others on the Isles trade. They don't need to dump salary at this time. Boston trade makes some sense but not sure if it's good for either team tbh.

Pageau > Connolly
Raty >> Pour
NYI 2023 first >>> Tampa 2023 second

Carpenter is a 31-year-old bottom-6 UFA forward and Gustafsson is a soon-to-be 30-year-old bottom pairing UFA defenseman. Anaheim has no need to clutter up the roster with those two while youngsters are on their way up this year.

So the way you rebuild is to hope for a bunch of lopsided trades made by good GM’s? 👍🏻
