HF Habs: Out Of Town Thread: 2024 Off-Season edition

Why St-Louis did that?

Buying the peace. Oilers probably agreed to not match either OS for the compensations + 2028 3rd and Paul Fischer.

I think it was all bluff from Edmonton. A 3rd and Paul Fischer don't change a contender plan to match or not.

Not sure what you mean by bluff, they would have basically agreed to let go of Holloway and Broberg for a 2nd, 2x3rd and a prospect. Now they can bury the hatchet and move on.

Massive break for the Preds who regain 4 million in cap space

I'm sure the Flyers sent out spies to monitor RyJo nonstop to try and get out of that contract no matter what lol

The Blues took a very good risk and targeted a team that hasn't had its ducks in order for decades. McDavid instills an incredible work ethic within the team, but his efforts keep getting thwarted by a management that clearly has issues with risk management.

It's definitely been amateur hour in Philly. Outside of the Michkov pick, Briere hasn't been very impressive.

My guess is that he might have faked his injury to avoid getting bought-out by the Flyers?

WOW! Oilers don't match for Holloway or Broberg.

Go away, Ryan Johansen!

a Top 8 and Top 14 picks for a 2nd and 3rd round pick. Nice asset management from the Oilers

Edmonton management really proved how incompetent they are by putting themselves in this position. While neither player they lost are anything special it's the fact they allowed themselves to be this vulnerable.

Get close to a cup it's hard to keep team together

Pearson looked done like dinner during the second half of last season.

Not if your management is smart and good at contract negotiation (see HuGo). They may be able to keep moving out players not needed for future draft picks so they can turn over the roster while still contending. of course no matter how good they are a flat cap at any time would make it difficult.
