What is the difference between being loaned to the Monsters" and being assigned.? Just semantics?

I think it is based on whether or not they require waivers. Then “returned” are guys on AHL deals?

We haven’t made it to the floor yet right?

I don't believe so, I was just wondering what we might do at this point

Reunite Elvis and Korpi - trade Elvis + to Boston for Swayman, sign Swayman for 7x$8.5 mil.

Instant upgrade in goal but I doubt Boston does that

Boston would sooner let Swayman go for nothing than trade him for Elvis. And for me personally I'd rather release Swayman for nothing than sign him to that deal.

My response was a little tongue-in-cheek. But, I'm not sure Swayman and Bruins management can mend bridges and there's not many teams where a goalie trade involving that expected contract is feasible.

#CBJ have been informed by NHL/NHLPA today that they won’t need to be compliant with the agreed upon salary cap floor by Oct. 7, when NHL rosters set for the 2024-25 season.

It is a thread but the key details:

Columbus made a $2M signing bonus to Johnny Gaudreau in July, as per his contract. That money will be included in their salary cap figure.

The league is waiving the Oct. 7 deadline to reach the floor of $65M, with the expectation they’ll get there in a “reasonable time.”

Columbus are now projected to be roughly $1.4M under the cap floor of $65M. That can easily be achieved given Waddell’s desire to add a veteran NHL forward via trade or the waiver wire.
