I'm thinking that this is a prelude to a Mrazek trade in the off-season after Wedgewood gets his last pay check from his current contract and it clears money to re-sign CampbellThinking that the Hutton trade was part of the Ritchie trade…
In any case, I am curious to see what Ritchie provides with more ice time. He wasn’t great in Boston but still put in 15 goals
Billington may also be in play if Blues decide to tie wagon to Husso.I'm thinking that this is a prelude to a Mrazek trade in the off-season after Wedgewood gets his last pay check from his current contract and it clears money to re-sign Campbell
Ladd's out 4-6 weeks with a LBI.

Per CapFriendly...Glad they have the stipulation the Coyotes get an additional draft pick if he plays at least one game next season? Was afraid we'd lost a potential trading chip at the TDL.
We've been down that road. The incentive is to ensure he plays rather than retire and cost the Islanders a Cap Recapture Penalty. All writing on the trade says this except capfriendly.Per CapFriendly...
***Conditions: The pick is not transferred to Arizona if Ladd:
1. Plays in any professional games in 2022-23 while under his current contract, or
2. Retires prior to the conclusion of the 2022-23 regular season
My interpretation is that we don't get the 3rd if Ladd
1. Plays for his contract or
2. Retires
Therefore we do get the 3rd if he spends the entire year on IR or if we buy out his contract.
The Coyotes get the pick as long as the Islanders don't get stuck with the recapture. He'll stay on the roster, we'll get the pick!Coyotes get the additional pick if he does NOT play any games next season while under his current contract.

Lol. binnington! I was way offHope not, he's 55 years old
He would be good in a development role. Ladd in his prime was the kind of player every team could’ve used, and he could use that knowledge to help a lot of kids along.I bet Ladd joins hockey ops at some point. Player development or pro scouting.
BA on the radio with Bickley and Marotta today @ 9:30am. Assuming it's on 98.7 fm.
Pretty short interview.
Excited to play at ASU
He spent most of his career in 5,000 seat arenas and you can create an exciting environment.
It may present challenges in attracting talent
Weather is a selling point
If you build a good team, talented players want to play with talented players
Chychrun struggles this season: defenseman reach their prime around 28; Erik Johnson and Pietrangelo had their struggles.
Why did prior rebuild attempts fail: thinking you are better than you really are; if you get a Crosby, Malkin, Fleury you can turn it around in 4 years, but under normal circumstances it's going to take 6-7 years
Make no mistake we celebrate every victory
Laughed out loud at when Veggie and Wedgie was mentioned.
I like this prospect. Speedy defensemen always peak my interest. Check out number 5 (white jersey) in the video below. McDavid speed burst to get back and break up an odd man rush
McDavid speed burst? Now that is funny. Good speed though. That was a very good trade by BA.
Very few has McDavid's speed.I mean, look at his speed compared to the two players already behind him with nothing but space in front of them. I would say that’s McDavid-esque straight line speed. A lot of players in our league have close to the same speed as McDavid, McDavid’s just better in traffic than anyone else. Just look at the fastest skating competition
