Sujet: le boom
-Caps would probably pass on that. I think Vincent Iorio on his ELC is going to be more valuable to them than an aging, fairly ineffective Joel Edmundson - especially when they already have Martin Fehervary & Alexander Alexeyev to fill out the bottom of their LHD depth chart going forward. They need to re-sign or replace Dmitry Orlov next year, which Eddy isn't going to do - so the Caps pass.

-Gonna lump these two together because one doesn't happen without the other - so you're basically moving out Brendan Gallagher, a 1st, a 3rd, and you're eating an extra $1.25M so you can get back Jensen Harkins (13-14-27 in 154 career GP to date) and Kristian Vesalainene (3-2-5 in 70 GP and no longer playing in North America). Even after extending Cole Caufield and spending a ton of UFA money on Bo Horvat & Andrei Kuzmenko, you've still got more than $9M in cap space - wouldn't it make more sense to just hang on to Gallagher and those future assets while you have the space? You don't *need* to move him to make this team work, so don't waste the picks - keep them in your pocket til you need them. Who knows, maybe Gallagher winds up LTIRetired in the last year or two of his deal, when you'd have more of a need for the cap space. Maybe the cap jumps to $90M+ in 2025-26 and you can more easily carry that $6.5M hit, or at least afford the buyout penalty. Point is: doesn't make a ton of sense to pay to move a guy you can afford to keep around for the time being.
