who adds?

Henrique is going to Edmonton it seems

To win a cup I would. Who cares for an extra 4m when u can get the chance to lift Lord Stanley then go get another deal

As teams love paying cup winners more than they worth these days

Floodgates are open lol, Mantha deal opened it up

It's 1 for 1. Buffalo just fleeced Colorado. That's Hall for Larsson type bad

I mean BUFF potentially now has one of the scariest young Dcores in the NHL

Byram has slipped this year but next year if he gets back to form it could be scary.

Buffalo is scary, and that's not good for the Atlantic... **** me

COL must really be worried about concussion history

Apparently went to Philly as part of that deal.

Yeah and went straight on waivers

It's not THAT bad for Colorado. Middelstadt is a good fairly young 2C

I wonder if TOR can now call Buffalo on Byram or one of their young D

As they have so many now and with Byram being a lefty on top of Dahlin and Power things get interesting

Pretty sure one or both of them can play the right side too

Sure but there was a whole article about the advantages/disadvantages on that stuff. Basically to sum youn want these guys on their strong side with there being a few exceptions

For BUFF if thats the case Byram would be third pair

Byram is still a very young defender and was a top 5 pick for a reason. Only knock on him is his Concussion issues

And the knocks on Middelstadt are?

Top end potential, he'll be a mid 2nd line center. Really suited for 3rd line.

both power and dahls can play RD.

True but then again a recent article talked about how the strong side should be the sticking point these days with a few exceptions

I think links on a VGK form or something now

Kinda in a spot where it was time to get paid but for whatever reason buffalo didn’t want to or he didn’t want to sign there. I think that combined with the sabres then wanting an nhler in return resulted in where this ended up.

I dunno that he has any on ice issues that caused this, just is time for term contract.

PHI eyeing Chycrun makes no sense as they already had a surplus of D so now they adding another one

Rip Zamula

Who's left? I feel like all of the names we've been talking about are traded now lol

It's $8M. The retention would go away with his contract as well.

Hanifin, Chycrun, Dumba, Edmunson,

Guentzel, Wennberg, Toffoli, Smith, Zucker

Etc

True but whats better winning a cup or 8m?

Lots of players can make money few can get a cup

Can always get that money later after winning cup as he can just go sign a few 3m deals. Bogo did something similar and it paid off for him.
