not bad but i dont know if VGK is retaining any salary with their situation

He said 3rd is going to a different team to retain.

Honestly one of the better trades I’ve seen out there for us

No way I give up on Lysell’s potential for McNabb. I’d consider the 2026 2nd with no retention, but Lysell’s upside is significant (I know his downside is higher as well).

FYI, this isn’t a rumor. It was speculation by Elliot Friedman and Jeff Marek based on the fact that Carolina and Boston were talking about Ullmark at the deadline. He didn’t know with Andersen coming back and having a great 16 game stretch if the conditions had changed, but did flag that the advanced metrics of Kochetkov weren’t that great,

The Bruins would have to add Lysell and probably a second for Carolina to consider
