Right in our division, interesting…
Does retention need to be for each contract year?I don’t see it. That would require Karlsson’s contract to be on the cap for the next 4 years and leave the habs with one less retain spot to use during the upcoming trade deadlines.

Apparently, Jacob received plenty of offers around the league but he declined them all... Bouchard bought a dog!Jacob follows Bouchard everywhere. That's some type of job security.
And if the player is bought-out, which EK could very well be given his age, the team that retained on him loses that spot for as long as the buy-out penalty is on the cap -- ie double the length of the contract remaining. See how badly ARI got hit with an 8 year retention spot loss when VAN bought-out OEL's contract the other day.Does retention need to be for each contract year?
Who voted McDavid 5th for the Hart trophy?
Did Jack Edwards have a vote? Whoever not only failed to put McD at #1 but ranked him *fifth* is going to be mocked mercilessly when his/her identity comes out.The same voter who gave Pastrnak a 1st place vote
He would have looked good next to Caufield and Suzuki as a stop gap - and then get us an asset at the TDL the year after this one...Damn...Dirty Bruins traded Taylor Gang.
Edwards isn't part of the PHWA so he didn't have a vote. Usually the PHWA makes the votes public in 1 or 2 days after the Awards.Did Jack Edwards have a vote? Whoever not only failed to put McD at #1 but ranked him *fifth* is going to be mocked mercilessly when his/her identity comes out.
Chicago throwing money around to get to the floor.
Armia has 2 years left on his deal and the Hawks would rather have Hall at 2 years. My guess is that Bedard is going to live with Foligno next year. They obviously will want him to live with a veteran they trustWhy couldn’t we give them Hoffman or Armia?? Damn.

Because who the f*** would want those guys around Bedard?Why couldn’t we give them Hoffman or Armia?? Damn.
If they're looking for vet 4th liners that don't produce with cap hits in the 4M range, all they have to do is call us. We'll make them very happy.Why couldn’t we give them Hoffman or Armia?? Damn.
Could be part of it but if he was more productive they would be signing himTo be expected. Black cloud from 2018 over his head?
