i don’t get it. You have an aging Minny roster working with sub $70 million vs a young and fully loaded Colorado powerhouse with more cap space.

Maybe I'm slow and catching on just now. Teams are inking long-term deals to get the superstars on the market knowing fully well that they are going to buy them out long before those contracts expire to save some dollars -- and factoring in the buyout penalties with the contract numbers.
Sucks to have to (potentially) retire due to injury, but I can't be the only one who would be mildly entertained by Nashville getting stuck with the cap penalty.
There's always a team or two out there that will take a big cap and a small amount of dollars for a sweetner.
I see you Arizona.

That Yandle buyout looks so tame in comparison to the Minnesota buyouts, or ours for that matter. lol
There is a rumor posting on the main boards that Vancouver left-handed defenseman Nate Scmidt who played under Gallant in Vegas is set to be traded.
He currently gets paid 5.9 million per year for four more years.
The OP states that the deal was reported as waiting for the Seattle Expansion Draft to conclude so the receiving team would not have to protect him.
So probably not us.
Nate Schmidt does play both Left and Right defense.
Here’s the link.

Mr. Preachy
Aside from him being guaranteed to score on the Rangers half of the games they play each other, why?
He's not good, and will get exposed outside of Colorado as he won't be insulated by the team. He'll rack up PP probably, but that's about it.
I guess I'm remembering things wrong. I thought Avs fans were singing his praises last year

Mr. Preachy
No please. No. Maybe if he had a year or two. 4 years at basically 6 million per no thanks.

Agreed. If this is true I don’t know which team is willing to take on that contract with term through this flat cap period but I would guess Vancouver will be adding sweeteners. I read they are trying to free up cap space to keep two of their RFA’s.

Bust out the dollars! But yeah he probably would be a nice fit on the third pairing with lets say Lundkvist. Probably less than a 5 percent chance we get him
Why do we think Buffalo wants Strome? he's almost a negative value for them. They aren't contending with him next year and they are not going to offer him a contract.

Good. Now we can shut up about Ryan Graves and just not like him like the rest of that scum.

If the Avs had a covid outbreak, their fans would simp covid just because it's on the Avs.
at the TDL? Let's be honest how much is he gonna fetch when he has 20-25 points on a Sabres team by the TDL? A mid to late 2nd? I just don't think he's much value in a trade to the sabres. More value for us in order to offset some salary. But hey if we make a trade and he's in the deal great job Drury

NHL had a exemption for the semi and cup final to enter. Now, if players and staff are vaccinated, they will be good for next season.
I'm sure they knew this would happen at some point, but I'm sure it is a relief knowing the border will be open this fall.
I'm sure players from the states that play in Canada will be happy too. Their families can make the move north now, especially if they are newly signed.
