are ecstatic to draft Vasili Podkolzin. He is truly and elite talent. We are also happy to announce his ELC 3 years at 925k/year.
Justin Abdelkater is now on waivers.
He specifically said he plans to stay in Russia until he is ready for the NHL. Finding contract is difficult but what I could find out about it was that the buyout wasn't huge when compare with NHL salay and bonuses. Although it would likely happen with 1 year left instead of 2, he could be convinced to come over for top 6 role in the NHL.No to be that guy... Buuuuut didn’t Podkolvin just sign a two year deal in the KHL and state he’s going to stay in Russia for those two years
Last call on the following players :
Jonathan Quick
Derek Forbort
Paul LaDue
Trevor Lewis
Kyle Clifford
I could retain 50% on Marco Scandella salary for the right offer.
Also still interested in a prospect swap to acquire a solid RHD prospect.

Need another forward agent and either a goalie or defense agent before we can begin free agency. Sorry got busy yesterday with real life.
We will keep an eye on the forwards market in free agency. We will not be part of a bidding war but we could be interested to sign a top 6 forward for what we consider fair value.
