True. The term on signing UFAs always get tricky. People like rentals bc you can get the good year dirt cheap and you keep flexibility in terms of cap long term
Everything is tricky. Trading for rentals. Signing free agents. There are trade offs with every decision. I can understand the thought process of just waiting especially with how things are playing out in Vancouver,
If it’s more player for player, I could see one of the following deals
1. Ullmark, DeBrusk, and 3.5M in retention for Elias Lindholm, Akira Schmid, and a 2nd round pick in 2025 from Jersey
Toffoli and DeBrusk with 3.5M in retention goes to Vancouver. Ullmark to Jersey
2. Linus Ullmark and Jake DeBrusk to LA for Pierre Luc Dubois and David Rittich
I’d prefer the first deal personally, but I think they are going to stand pat. Maybe one rental
