Huh. Offer sheet actually worked here. I really thought they'd keep Holloway, but I guess trading for VP was cheaper.

What to make of Yaroslav Askarov's trade request
Some quick Monday thoughts on the other big story of the day.substack.com
This is going to be a really interesting situation to watch play out.
IMO, if there's an Atlantic Division team to watch here, it's the Canadiens. They've got an extra pick in each of the first 4 rounds in this upcoming draft and have a need for a young goalie of his caliber. The Preds can then turn around and use said pick(s) in deadline deals for a run at the Cup.
Now I'm dying to know what the "material breach" was that is costing this guy $8M this year.

Seemed like this was going to be the end to the deal with the Avs all along. I too wonder what the shenanigans they are using to make this happen.

Maybe he wouldn't report to the AHL? Glad we have McLeod so someone doesn't suggest taking a flyer (pun intended) on this guy as 3C.

Pod vs. Holloway is probably fairly even. Motivated Pod is probably a more physical player but that is the gamble.
I wonder at the defense - Ceci had caught shit for a long time yet vet RD who is probably a 4/5 and then the upside for Broberg is there. Maybe they try to duct tape and baling twine approach until the deadline - make another Ekholm type of move?

I still think Joki is a fit for Edmonton. That D is rough - he could be their third guy behind Ekholm and Bouchard.
At 50% retained, he's $1.55M for only one year. That's about as ideal a player/contract that they could ask for.
If they get to camp and their D looks as thin as it does now, they can have him for the STL 2nd. We can float that 2nd+prospects all the way to the deadline for whatever we're lacking.

I am sure they get there with the Firepower upfront.
To the finals again, probably not.

Blues' Armstrong on how NHL GMs view offer sheets: 'There is no code'
Asked about the discussion and intrigue that tends to swirl around the use of offer sheets — particularly the idea that GMs refrain from using them in order to avoid ruffling feathers among their fellow managers — Blues GM Doug Armstrong poured cold water on the notion.

Rangers name Jeff Malcolm new goaltending coach, Benoit Allaire will remain with organization
Malcolm spent the last three seasons as the goalie coach for the Hartford Wolf Pack.

This will be interesting to see how it affects the Rangers goaltending moving forward.

Ian Clark asking to move to a scouting and development coach role with the Canucks is interesting.

Not terribly lopsided, but it’s pretty incredible to see Dubas constantly act like he’s just playing an NHL video game.
Had all the leverage and trades a top C prospect for a top LW prospect. Winnipeg gets a redux for free basically, and Malkin/Crosby aren’t getting younger.

Don't get that trade at all from a Pittsburgh POV. I suppose McGroarty is ready(ish?) now while Yager is going to take another year or two..........but Yager's value should be inherently higher as a center......
Winnipeg has to be dancing that they got a similarly valued prospect for RM.

I haven't understood many of his moves aside from practically getting Karlsson for free. Feels like he's trying to middle of the road it between collecting picks/younger guys for the future and making the playoffs with the Crosby/Malkin/Letang core
