But MTL have : Matheson, Savard, Edmundson, Guhle, Harris, Xhekaj better than Rutta + Kovacevic + Wideman ... No room for another defenseman

Anaheim gets a cap dump you cant buy out and we can't send down to the minors, a prospect, and a pick.

Fixed it for you.

I doubt that Jeff Carter would say Yes, but I know that Anaheim wouldn't. A B prospect who doesn't seem to be NHL material and the 110th overall pick in this year's draft isn't sufficient justification for using up a roster slot on the declining JC. He's still pretty good in the faceoff circle, but little good for other purposes.

Buying out Jeff Petry makes less than zero sense. They’d be better off trading him 50% retained for future considerations. 3.125 million for 2 years is better than 3 million yr 1, 4.5 million year 2, and dead cap years 3 and 4

The Perty buyout doesn't make much sense. You're effectively paying Mayfield the same as Petry - might as well just keep Petry.

Seattle might do that. May just be a player rights for player rights trade. Geekie is a local favorite though and has been a nice tool in the Kraken's arsenal.

Habs are not interested in signing players like that for for free and you want then to trade for one ?!

You are literally what is causing this armchair GM to go to **** you’re telling them that Petry has negative value to the point you wanna buy him out. HE WAS NOT A BAD DMAN THIS YEAR, so frustrating
