Testing free agency means every team gets to talk to him. Look what happened in Calgary. We don't want that.

We have Joseph who is pretty much going to take his spot, cheaper and younger. Mix in the fact that he isn't going to re-sign, why not trade him? Top 9 is stacked

You know what I mean though. We're gunning for the playoffs finally and he's a huge piece. As long as we don't get pool party and call it a day here...

He's not going to get anymore PP time and certainly less ice time. I don't think he's going to get more valuable.
Also we still do have an internal salary cap and now is when we are spending.

10 minutes.
The only thing that sucks about today it that I am at a resort on the Red Sea and everyone will think I am crazy as I cackle with glee. Maybe some of the Russians here will get it...

We want to compete for more than just this year though. Trading him doesn't lose a good asset for nothing, and hopefully gets us some cap space for a top 4 defenceman.

And if he walks, we get nothing. I think he knew it was fairly likely he was dealt after his comments.

It's a delicate balance. You need some 25.50's but not every 25.50.

Jokes aside we should absolutely position ourselves as "live close to your childhood home without the same toxic pressure that Montreal and Toronto afford you" for all the Ontario/Quebec players.

Exactly. Dorion felt he needed to work his ass off to earn our business again, while Dubas has regressed into complacency since the arena is already full every game.

I have a conference call at noon I'm going to be paying 0 attention.
Edit: to the call, obviously.

Dorion has been cloned or what? How does he manage to do all this at the same time?
What about the procrastination? Doesn't do that anymore?
I'm kinda scared about the return though. Please no Yamamoto/Barrie/Puljujarvi
We added DeBrincat and Giroux and might add a Top-4 D-man.
The reality became that we won't be able to afford Brown long-term who deserves a near Hyman contract.
Connor Brown is being replaced by Claude Giroux, who is basically Brown's elite version
We could have kept him this season but we expect to AT LEAST be in the playoffs race all season... so we would not trade him at the deadline and end up losing him for nothing next off-season.

Sure. He's the type of player who makes those around him better. That's the benefit of great depth.
