He most certainly does not have to.
I think Konecny is on the team and Hextall will work some magic to ensure he stays there.
He most certainly does not have to.
Why on earth would Hextall send a player back to juniors just to fit under the cap? If you are a significantly better team with Konency then you just trade someone like Matt Read who hasn't shown much in the last few years.
Somebody has to want him.
and you don't think he is trade able? Hextall was able to trade Luke Schenn, VLC, Grossmann, Rinaldo and etc. Matt Read might be slightly over paid (at worst) but I'm sure someone would take him.
It would be tough to trade Read for a pick right now. Cap space is at a premium, and he has two years left, not one.
