The Islanders send you a thank you card and match immediately

You really think the Isles don't match that? Noah signing a 6 year deal for less than $7M would have Lou throwing a parade at this point.

I hate to be that guy, but I think that gets matched

I think you should change it to “help Lou” - saves him a lot of time and energy if Dobson signs that. Great deal for him.

isles easily match that contract, super reasonable for what dobson brings

NYI matches.

NJD says, “where is the rest?”

What, you don't want to turn Damon Severson into Tyler Myers and then overpay for JT Miller?

Seriously though, Devils pass because signing Palat is probably the last upgrade they make to their top 6 unless a deal falls into their lap - they're not going to go overpay for a guy just to get a guy at this point.

No not really

Devils would not re-sign JT Miller, so there is no reason to trade for him. If Vancouver wants to ship him off, like Pacioretty-to-Carolina, we will take him.

Patches was dealt because of Vegas' poor cap management. Miller is a player the Canucks actually care about and want to keep lol and Vancouver isn't exactly struggling with cap space.

Canucks are $2.7 million over the cap

Ferland will go on LTIR, Burroughs/Dowling/Keeper will go to Abbotsford. Canucks aren't worried.

Moves that leave their roster short and puts them at $748k under cap.

Doesn't make the roster short, Poolman and Hoglander will be back from IR to start the season. 12F, 6D, 2G. Call up from Abbotsford 40 minutes down Hwy 1 if injuries happen.
