Not surprised he got fired, but why not do it right after the regular season ends and before the draft and free agency.

Perhaps signing a 32-year old to a 5-year, $30m contract with a NMC (and defending their draft picks because the guys were tall) were part of the reasoning for firing?

I spent lunch yesterday reading The Athletic article, and then the comments. Agree w/ above; its the timing. Zach Parise's article which came out over the weekend couldn't have helped. The sentiment I took from the Wild fans was they were resigned that Fenton would ride the chair for at least another 1/2 season (+/-). Everybody wanted it to happen, but late July and the month of August nothing ever happens in the NHL. I think there have been more trades since July 10 this year than the last 4 years combined for this time. The league is moving closer and closer to a year round thing.

Shattenkirk on a 1 year, $1.75m "show me" deal with Tampa Bay. TB has 6 non-waivers exempt goalies, something like 9 Dmen, and now under $10m to sign both Point and Erne.

I can't believe they're letting go the guy who drafted Rick Nash. I mean, he drafted Rick Nash!

Seriously, tho, best of luck to him... preferably far far away from here.

Don't look now, former CBJ.. Lukas Sedlak has 5 goals, 6 points, +6 in his first 8 games in the KHL.

I thought he said they weren’t pursuing any new players after Nyquist signing
We have confirmation that he was one of the GMs discussing offer sheet possibilities with Marner and his agent, so that's untrue on its face. Nothing specific known about Gusev, tho (AFAIK).

Well, that’s what they said in the press conference after July 1st

The Athletic is reporting Jack Johnson will be traded. I guess Jim Rutherford didn’t really know why he wasn’t playing here after all. Go figure.

Not that we’re trying to trade them, but it’s weird that they can trade JJ yet we can’t find a deal for Murray/Nutivaara/Kukan/Harrington/Gavrikov

I don't know that the CBJ is actually looking to trade them. However Pittsburgh is desperate to trade him because they are barely over the salary cap with their anticipated roster and need to dump someone before rosters get finalized if what I read a week or so ago is still accurate.

I don't understand this point. If the FO isn't trying to trade them, how would we (as fans) know if they can find a deal for those players?

I'm pretty sure they could find a deal for them. I don't know what the returns would be.
