You do not understand how LTIR works . We have about 1 million in LTIR money if we traded Klefbom we would have 1 million left in normal cap space . It still isn't enough to sign him .

In the offseason .. it would be

Sportsnet - Jeff Marek Show


Marek during an interview with Eric Engels ( covers MTL)

From Marek, paraphrasing

- Ken Holland is putting everything on the table including first round draft picks and top prospects in return for a Left Side Dman

- Holland is trying to take advantage of the year Mcdavid and Draisaittl are having

-They like the Foegle trade but they feel they lost some toughness, sandpaper and defence when they lost Bear/Larsson


Marek brought this rumor up as he and Engels were discussing a possible fire sale with Montreal and specifically trading someone like Ben Chiarot.

Despite, Holland and Edmonton not being the main point of conversation, Marek brings up that Holland has actively been shopping Edmonton's 1st and top prospects for a help on the left side.

There really are no rumors... its just sports analysts seeing as a good fit. Rest of it just made up.

"Friedman on TJMS talking possible destinations for Ben Chiarot: "The team that really sticks out to me that should probably be feeling very good about itself thinking about what it could do is a team like Edmonton"."

Holland in APR 2021 flat out said " No I am not trading the 1st for a rental.. maybe if he has term ,,,," Maybe things have changed for him but there has been no public acknowledgment that he is going to burn a 1st after adding Koekkoek, Keith, Barrie and Ceci on D 4 months ago.

OEL will not come to Edmonton. The Oilers had already tried acquiring him 2 off seasons ago, where he has informed AZ it was Vancouver or Boston, rumor was the Oilers and AZ had talks.


That was two years ago, now he may go anywhere just to get out of Vancouver.

Actually the best move Ken Holland ever made was at the draft in 2013. Traded 18oa for 20th and 58.

18 was Micro Mueller who no longer plays in the NHL.

20 and 58? Mantha and Bertuzzi

Look at Savard last year to TB. A first, third and fourth. And Chiarot>savard.
Savard was the top UFA dman available last year from a non-playoff team at the trade deadline. This year there will way more UFA dmen available from non-playoff teams. Chiarot will not even be in the top 10 of that group, so it doesn’t make sense comparing him to Savard and how he is playing this year.

People keep saying this, and it may be true, but at the deadline a year ago it probably wasn't. Savard is at the part of his career where he starts to regress a bit. Chairot isn't a bad player at all, but he also isn't worth what Savard was in his prime. He was traded for at prime Savard value, which is why everyone thoguht it was an overpayment. I think one player getting an overpayment doesn't recalibrate the market so every player will now get the same overpayment. That said, may as well hang on to him to see if you can get that type of return. I don't see it happening, but there's not much difference in trding him for a 2nd + today and trading him for a 2nd+ at the deadline.

Honestly, I'm not sure if what we need is actually a Chairot, or if we need more of a depth guy anyway, like Edmundson. He would probably go for a mid round pick and might be a more suitable target given the skills that we are missing today.
will be keeping edmundson. he's better than chariot or savard

How about a gently used Nick Leddy? He's been pretty darn good for us and could definitely bolster a teams depth quite a bit.

Holland would offer 2 1sts plus Broberg for Leddy.

I think DDK with 50% salary retained for Bourgault or a 1st is a solid trade for Detroit and Holland. :sarcasm:
