AbsolutelyI also can’t blame anyone for trying to get themselves the hell away from Winnipeg.

Alright Donny, time to start up a conversation.
Yeah but will Wotherspoon give up #29?
Pretty poor article. He doesn’t really say much of anything.Bruins Could Be Eyeing Kings Forward

Can he play in the KHL or Switzerland for a year?What I meant by "leveraging the CBA" was the clause/loop-hole whatever you want to call it that he can take advantage of in 2 years. I thought that was fairly clear. Is that clause not part of the CBA or is it a separate agreement? Maybe that is the confusion.
What we really don't know is how content he is to stay in Michigan, continue his education, and keep playing there. If he's happy playing there and he needs "this, this, this and this" to be convinced to leave, I don't see an issue there. Most decisions in life are made weighing pros and cons.
My original point in all of this was he was being called out for being a demanding prima-donna asking/demanding certain things and people saying he needs to earn it, but I don't see the same outcry for undrafted NCAA free agents or guys who go the full 4 years and become free agents then. They sometimes make significant asks (or demands) of teams to sign on the dotted line. They want to know where they fit in, what the timelines are, etc. etc.
I have no issue with how either party is dealing with this. Jets will do what is best for them, I agree they have plenty of leverage as well. McGroarty will do what is best for him. I didn't like how this player was being characterized but this place seems full of double-standards lately.
Bruins Can Add Scoring Depth With Struggling Islander Wahlstrom
The Boston Bruins have been one of the NHL’s most active teams this offseason, spending a franchise-record $92 million in free agency on nine players to address key needs in the middle of the ice and on the blue line. But even with all the moves that general manager Don Sweeney has made this...bostonhockeynow.com

Oliver resigned with Islanders and someone who projects to 13 goals over 82 games is not worth it. Rather give Lysell/Merk a legit chanceI guess if you want some competition for Lysell. Wahlstrom just has never really done much since his draft year. He had one year for a bad BC team and was mediocre. He jumped to the AHL where he was mediocre, and then the Isles pushed him to the NHL where he had a pretty good rookie year, but then struggled his second year, and got hurt his 3rd year
If it is a very cheap chance then maybe
Kaliyev was the guy I wanted with the bruins pick in his draft year. He hasn't really developed well. Based on the advanced stats it seems his defense isn't that bad, and actually better than his offense. The real problem is that he is an abysmal transition player. His skating is poor, and in terms of things like zone entry he is awful. As he signed after his age 19 season, and has had 4 years as a pro I think he would need to clear waivers this year ( I could be wrong )
I guess you could bring him in to compete with Lysell, but I sure wouldn't give up much to get him for that
