We very very likely won’t have a retention slot available for Silfvy

I would accept that offer as the Anaheim GM with the proviso implied by my friend@GeneralLandro.

That's pretty bad for the habs

The current lineup is better.
Barrie is better than Klingberg and has chemistry with the guys.
Desharnais is as good as Edmundson at this point in his career.

Dude, Silf is not a 2nd line winger anymore. Love the guy but his hands are gone, at best he's an extremely overpaid 3rd line guy. We're just riding out his contract.

If you're going on a cup run, you don't want to pick him up, he's basically doing the Puljujarvi thing where he's great defensively but can't score.
