i'll always have a soft spot for former future Devil Juraj Slafkovsky
I wouldn't be overly concerned. They became successful leveraging cap strapped teams for cheap talent.
Losing those guys created a lot of cap space while a bunch of teams just went wild in free agency and now need to clear space.

fans will be annoyed by whoever hires them, but we all know everyone will forget ugh
He's a bit Jekyll and Hyde. He's fine in a loose environment with low expectations where he can free wheel and improvise. The one time he had to play with structure and discipline in Carolina he did much less from an offensive standpoint. He's probably fully matured his game but he's likely not great playing actual defense. Still Carolina was in a tough spot and had to do something. I still think they fall back a bit next season or two. They won't collapse but maybe drop to roughly 100 points instead of the 110 range?

Kahkonen 1 for 1. I think it could be better deal. Without any assets away. Anyway.

1 x 1 is still crazy cheap. I mean, his two years in San Jose were no worse than Blackwood's last two years for the devils and Blackwood got more than double that.
There are goalies that are just as bad as him that get paid decently better.
Really good deal for Winnipeg all things considered.

Rebuild Over.
We really should have someone playing with Jack who can take faceoffs. They don't need to be Bergeron, but someone > 45% would be nice

Can we fit Henrique at 4 million if Bastian is moved and MacDermid down? Assuming Mercer is 4 or under too?

I think you can probably get someone at 4 if you run a 21 man roster for some of the year.
Scummy NHL dropping controversial news on free agent day. So gross.

They want to dock Ottawa picks for screwing up a movement clause but Chicago, “all good guys, here’s a #1 pick overall for your trouble too”. These guys didn’t need to be let back in.
f*** Gary and f*** CHI.

Blackwood had two decent seasons (well 1.5 seasons) as a starting goalie at a very young age and was a fairly high draft pick, Kahkonen's 'best' seasons all came when he played 25 or less games, he's never been a 1A and he was a mid-draft pick.

Horrible. They should be banned for life. This has edmonton all over it for their new GM
Give it up on over the hill henrique. He would be a duplicate haula but even older. We aren’t even mentioned as being interested

Dont say that too loudly - apparently faceoffs dont matter anymore, even though every single active or former player says otherwise

Really gross of the NHL to try and bury that in the middle of free agent frenzy and hope we don’t notice
Eh... Trotz came in at the 11th hour and gave him that crazy contract...
Wasn't crazy at all. He just chose to team up with Stammer over us.
