Cat, PLD, Bertuzzi & Frederic all want more money IF those trades were even to happen

Pierre-Luc Dubois is going home to Montreal. Both offers for DeBrincat and Pierre-Luc Dubois are beaten. Plus DeBrincats qualifying offer is 1 x $9,000,000 he's not signing for $7,500,000. And no way is either player wasting their time on a Capitals team if both Backstrom and Oshie are gone.

the Sens most definitely do not say yes

backstroke and oshie are irrelevant players at this point. oshie is never in the lineup and backstrom is not even half the player he used to be, they would both br doing the capitals a favor by retiring

Pretty easy no from Boston

There's nothing even slightly interesting for Winnipeg to consider.

If a third is all that is being attached to offload Mantha, nothing is going back in return.

The real world isn't EA NHL23, you can't just get every RFA for next to nothing... and we all know PLD is going to MTL.
