St Louis owes us a 2nd since we helped them offer sheet Bromberg and Holloway, maybe a re-swapping of picks can be arranged.

Context of the Brind'Amour clip makes it sound like his family/wife didn't want to relocate to the East coast, but that may also be Brind'Amour trying to save face.

Montreal owns the 2nd but as was point out to me, it would be our 2026 2nd that would be used, which we have.

Ah ok, so it actually has to be an original pick, not a traded in pick given up... seems pedantic, but whatever

Rants is free to exercise his rights, but his agent, who told Carolina he was open to re-signing there, is a jackass

We are drafting McKenna with the Rangers pick, relaxThis makes Dubas seem like even a bigger idiot than I thought lol…
What I’m hearing about the Penguins’ trade deadline execution and future
The Penguins will be a very interesting team to monitor this summer.www.nytimes.com
In sum,
No interest in trading Rakell
No interest in trading Rust July 1 though teams are lining up
Isn’t interested in getting as high a draft pick as possible even for McKenna
Rantanens agent told the Avs he'd sign with the Canes to try and leverage more money from the Avs. Backfired on them when the Avs turned around and shipped him there. Thats why he was shocked he was traded, he didnt think the Avs were serious about doing it and Rantanen was pretty blunt with the Canes saying he wasnt interested in signing there. Thats what I have heard at least.
Marchand would be an interesting signing. I think people need to remember that 4 Nations happened and a lot of players were gushing about the chance to play with Sid. We dont know how that will affect things in free agency. If Sid starts texting people like Marchand and Marner in June saying lets get together and go for a cup it could go a long way. Marner is done in Toronto unless something changes these playoffs. Hes been treated horribly by the media and locals and no longer wants to play in the market hes from. That could change with a long playoff run and if he plays well.

Yes, that’s basically what I heard, but the agent said “yes”, they traded for him, and then Rantanen said hell no. He basically torpedoed the Canes for imaginary leverage with a team that moved him anyhow. Just top notch stuffWe are drafting McKenna with the Rangers pick, relax

Agents playing games. Kylington had the same issue last summer. Caps apparently were going to sign him to a 3 year deal, then traded for Chychun. Flames were offering him 2 years and he demanded 3. Trade goes down, Flames pivot to Bean and Kylington is left holding the bag.

I’d be firing people. I guess Rantanen doesn’t mind because it wasn’t him who got screwed, but man, if I’m Carolina, I probably steer clear of that agent whenever possible.
I’m generally pro players, but f***ing teams over for sport isn’t my idea of healthy for the league (one of my biggest issues with the current nba)

Acciari can go to WB/S, if they can somehow surgically remove him from Sully. Hayes and Heinen can be press box players. They're effective enough when in and out of the lineup.

I’ll be concerned when his actions match these words. So far he seems to be talking like someone who wants to compete but all the actions suggest were trying to lose. We don’t trade Guentzel, pettersson, beauvillier or DOC for futures if we’re trying to win. If and when we make a single win now move I’ll worry.
So far the best explanation is that he is posturing to keep prices high and to keep as many butts in seats as possible but really we’re rebuilding. That’s yet to have any evidence in action against it.
