I do not see anyone giving up a 1st + a B+ prospect for Hayes, even with retention. I sure hope Boston doesn't, he's a middle 6 center on a good team.

As a Bruins fan I wish it wasn’t the case but that’s the price you have to pay for long term salary retention in the market. Cap space is a most valuable asset.

Devils need shutdown RHD not LHD. There are still guys on the market I'd be happy with at RHD, before we would have to settle for moving a guy off their handedness

Given Boston's salary cap predicament, I seriously hope PIT doesn't pay that acquisition price for Ullmark.

Really? I was thinking they’d be in the market for a LHD to play on the second pair with Marino or the bottom pair with Smith to bump Bahl out of the lineup. Then you could have Siegenthaler Hamilton, Gryz Marino, and Hughes Smith, or Hughes Marino, Gryz Smith. Gryz fills the hole left by Graves, seriously bolsters that left side, and gives Hughes some shelter from having to jump right into the top 4.

That’s an overpay for Hayes. Have to at least get 50% retention for that price to work.

Bahl has made a huge improvement and was actually taking 1st line minutes at points late in the season into the playoffs. Bahl fills the hole left by Graves, and now we had Luke.

on behalf of danny b i will say the flyers accept

LA has no starting goalie and you are asking for their only signed goalie. I don't see why LA needs Hall more than a cost controlled Durzi who can play both sides.

Looks like a pretty no brainer no from LA.

Hall isn't worth nearly that. Swayman doesn't sign that contract.

Flyers agree to the deal.

Let me dream😂

Flyers accept

Only deal thats worth it for BOS is the SEA trade, everything else makes the team much worse, Hayes is not good nor worth near that return
