Cash or Czech

No Perrault at rookie camp?

Yeah I'm in

I'm back for sure

They traded away their Vezina winning goalie and basically gave away any leverage they had by declaring him their #1.

Couldn't round it up to $50M?

Per the fantastic and well informed sources on reddit, he faked an injury so he wouldn't play in the AHL. E5.

Southgate resigns

Imagine drafting Stanley Cup champions like Dustin Brown, Brent Seabrook, Ryan Getzlaf, Zach Parise, Mike Richards, or Corey Perry instead of Hugh Jessiman.

I can't believe Twitter insider Fill Kosher doesn't have the scoop yet.

I agree. I'm more commenting on potential landing spots than trying to move him in the first place.

Calgary just moved Markstrom. San Jose rebuild could be accelerated with some decent goaltending, and Seattle's gotten lackluster goaltending from all of the guys they've gotten.

The only thing I can think of is Drury is planning for next summer. We only have one UFA, Vesey at $800K. Smith is now another upcoming UFA. We have several RFAs, including Lafreniere and Miller, and then to a lesser extent Kakko, Cuylle, and Jones. We have $8M in cap space now to sign Lindgren and Schneider. Drury is obviously planning long term to fit in those Laf and Miller extensions. He doesn’t want to take on anyone at more term than one year because we have no cap relief. Moving Trouba would’ve been the main move to allow us to play more in free agency, but that fell through.

That isn't how it works

It's also day one of free agency and I'm not jealous of many of the contracts that were given out and wish they'd been on my team.
