Steve may be over estimating how easy it will be to attract UFA on Monday.
Steady Steve may be left with nothing at this rate.

I'm expecting 2-3 veteran forwards to round out the bottom 6.
Chychrun and Joseph traded it seems.
RD acquired via trade.
Damn nice trade for Vegas picking up Holtz and Schmid for Cotter and a 2025 3rd
Makes up for trading away Thompson for so little

It's crazy to me if Carolina doesn't want to offer Guentzel 9 million a year. I get playing it safe but you have to take at least a little risk to build a Cup winning team.

Holtz seems to be in the doghouse over there, and you could argue Jersey could use a two-way guy like Cotter more than another offense-only player like Holtz.
Cotter will outperform his 775k contract each of the next two seasons pretty handily.
But there's not a ton of upside wiht the deal frankly. Gave up a potential starter and a longshot top 6 guy for peanuts.

Friedman mentioned it was either Toronto or Dallas a day or so ago, with an outside shot for Vancouver.
Not really an option for the Sens, unless the hare brained idea that trading for his brother would make a difference actually panned out.

Pinto may be blocking any moves where we take on cap, if they are worried about an offer sheet.

Wonder if this is a wake up call sent by management to the agent.

Since New Jersey got Markstrom, the timeline for Schmid doesn't line up. He was arbitration eligible, so they couldn't just lowball him. They already have two goalies, and as we saw with the Ullmark and Thompson trade, the goalie market has not been strong. Calgary got the best return for Markstrom, and then it seems like the market collapsed.
I assume that no one is knocking down their door to give up major assets for Holtz, and Cotter gives them someone who they probably feel will be a better fit and cheaper.
I assume Holtz is probably worth a late 2nd round pick. Usually, these former high drafted prospects who don't stick a few years after the draft don't go for much. It seems like a good trade for both sides. Vegas can sign Schmid to a mid-term deal and have a possible backup plan if they cannot sign Hill to an amount they like. Thompson likely wanted 4M-5M on an extension. Schmid will be much cheaper.

Two teams reportedly interested in Chychrun both dealt their 2025 2nds today.
LA added Jeannot and Florida moved their 2025 2nd for a 2024 2nd to take Linus Eriksson.
Not sure what they would be offering for Chychrun now.
Chicago was also talked about as a team interested. It's come out that they offered their 2025 1st to Columbus for the 4th OVR pick in an attempt to speed-run their rebuild.
Had Columbus taken them up on that offer maybe they would have traded for Chychrun to try to make the playoffs next season, but that didn't happen. Not sure if they are still interested in him now.
Don't see a lot of good fits for him around the league. Unfortunate.

I like Kelly, but this really doesn't matter much. We're talking about a replaceable 4th liner. Maybe it's a positive to cycle as many guys out as possible in order to give the room a different look, since moving legit core guys likely won't be an option, and even the secondary guys we are shopping like Joseph might not be able to be moved.
Hell, at this point I almost expect us to start the season with Chychrun...

It was a very fair price but Moser and Geekie are good young pieces. Moser is arguably a top 4 D

I still think we're going to end up resorting to something like Chychrun and Joseph for Ekblad and a cheap bottom 6 forward. It just makes too much sense if we fail to get a RHD and the market for Chychrun doesn't materialize. It is going to be difficult for us to go into the season with Chychrun on the roster after he has been shopped for so long. It would be a distraction. I don't think there would be a big market for Ekblad because of his injuries, drop in play, and cap hit.
It's possible that he wouldn't waive his NTC if we are on it, but I could also see the possibility of Florida giving him the option of waivers or a trade destination that they can find.
Maybe I am completely off, and teams still value Ekblad highly.
In terms of cap space, while it is cap in/cap out, Florida fills two key rolls with that cap space instead of 1. Otherwise, I think we'd need a third party team to retain on Ekblad or to take Joseph.
I don't think it changes things. Could easily be looking at next draft 1st (more likely Florida), prospects or a player who can help right now.
Kelly is going to UFA
We just traded Kastelic
We're trying to trade Joseph
Chychrun, Brannstrom and maybe JBD are on block
Who is going to play for this team next season? We have zero depth as it is.
