Radko Gudas is the only NHL-qualified right-handed defenseman we have under contract for next season, and he's signed for not just 2024-2025 but also the following season, too. So although the first is very nice, we'll be declining that offer. And I have it on good authority that Gudas doesn't want to play for a Canadian team in any event.

Gudas isn’t available. Henrique is, Carrick is if we don’t just plan on re-signing him (my hope)

Definitely wishful thinking!

May I interest you in a Faulk? He has a playoff ready stache at all times.

I like Faulk but his contract would break EDM without moving Campbell. Moving him would cost so much they'd have no assets left to make trades with. Something worth exploring in the summer after potential Campbell buyout.

we love Radio, we aren't trading him

he also doesn't waive for Canada like the fellas already said in here

that doesn’t get Chychrun and Kubalik is a non-factor, but you got a deal for Tarasenko

So why even bother commenting LOL

Why be so bitter?

Might want to get off CF is you’re already getting hurt over a comment on a post

I mean, you're repeating comments. I think you need less CF if you can't help yourself from repeating comments instead of just liking them and moving on with your life.

Look at what he went for last year...
I really don't think this would be far off. Maybe add a condition to 2025 4th, switching to 2026 2nd with Stanley Cup Final appearance.

Except half of what I said wasn’t said and then the other half was me agreeing with the fellas, you’ll figure it out eventually

NSH would probably ask that you make the 3rd, EDM's 2024 2nd instead. The combination of Sissons and Carrier is worth more than that package considering NSH's current center depth situation. The only player NSH has left in the system who could replace Sissons is Parssinen, and while he has done well finding his game again in the AHL, I don't think he could truly replace what Sissons brings at least right now.

NSH can do the retention on Carrier without any issue, and Carrier was Ekholm's partner for several years, so while Ekholm and Bouchard have been great, Carrier provides some extra defensive flexibility.

yeah last year he went for 12th overall and two 2nds. in this you’re still getting him for 2 playoffs runs and you’re asking for retention. the offer is a much later 1st, a prospect who was a 2nd rounder, a 4th, a cap dump. this doesn’t give the Sens reason to move Chychrun, they’re not trading him just for the sake of it. Akey is interesting but doesn’t make up for the lower value everywhere else

That's fair. Anything more would have to come out of the fwd prospect pool or as a conditional pick.
I don't see Ceci as a cap dump btw. EDM wants to upgrade but his contract is fine. Casualty of cap strapped Oilers.

Understandable. I think he'd be the best fit next to Nurse other than Larsson who's also expressed not wanting to return to EDM. Nurse hasn't been the same since Larsson left. The Gudas contract would be a perfect fit but admittedly unlikely.

Not that I put Radko Gudas in my top 40 or so defensemen. But You are privileged to play in the NHL. I have no doubt he earned it with his skill, work ethic , and determination. But you have a problem with playing in Canada ? I can't imagine why . A little more media and fan scrutiny? If you play an honest game in Canada you aren't going to be criticized. Maybe you think you will be recognized, and often bothered in Canada because of a little more attention. People got it all wrong . Canadian hockey fans know some players have it in their heads that they just won't find the kind of peace they would playing in the U.S. Because of that it would surprise a great many people that we give hometown players PLENTY of space . Some American players seem to have this attitude also . Get over it . Years ago when Americans Doug Weight , and Bill Guerin played in Edmonton they absolutely loved it . And when asked about their time north of the border to this day , they have nothing but complimentary things to say ......u don't know it till u try it
