I'd be accepting (if not a bit disappointed) in bringing Jarry back, however there best not be any type of NMC or NTC.

I can't believe that Rob Rossi isn't meeting us at DQ.
Stop quoting that clown. Or do so knowing it's just another poster speculating.

It's not even the cap number that's the issue, it's the term, though, for me, Jarry at 5.0 x 5/6 isn't bad for the best UFA on the market.
I thought most people accepted that's what Hextall had to do because of the cap, but yeah, same strategy.

Hextall had cap restraints where Dubas has cap flexibility. Would you rather him chase guys or let the players who want to be here come to him? A lot of teams trying to eradicate cap.

The whole "Hextall didn't have cap flexibility" thing fails to me because Hextall had the ability to open up cap flexibility, he just decided to not do it. He didn't have to re-sign Rust and Carter to the deals they got. He didn't have to turn Matheson into Petry.
It's a moot point because Hextall is on the unemployment line and won't get another job as a GM, so it's whatever. I'm just really optimistic going forward with Dubas and am really hoping he makes some good moves tomorrow.

seems like a lot of companies had the same strategy as amazon so execution surely the bigger deal

At least the Penguins don't have this dunce as their GM anymore:
This also makes a lot of sense for LA, I think they end up signing Talbot.

Anyone else getting nervous that FA starts tomorrow and we don't have a goaltender yet? Either pull the trigger on a trade, or just sign Jarry already.

Man, if LA runs Neds/Talbot...woof.
I imagine there will be options available after FA as well. Not like there are many FA goalies that are "we can't miss out on them if we can't make a trade".

DK speculated it was his back as well. Expressed concern as to whether he would be back.
There's one. Jarry. I'd like to do better than him but the UFA market outsife him looks real bad

Sucks about Poehling but at the same time, it opens up the possibility of someone new which, at this point, isn't a bad thing.

I'm glad you asked me this question. So, what I prefer is that you quickly sign your number one target and get him in the fold. That'll take a little bit of pressure of the urgency and also guarantee you're getting the quality player you want without losing him to another club. It also provides you cost certainty and a blueprint of what you can spend moving forward. As you go lower along the totem pole (4th liners, bottom pair defenders and such), they'll be plentiful, THATS when to be patient as some one will undoubtedly be available beyond tomorrow that fills a need. But at least get your number one or two target signed early.

I'll always remember Poehling for his late-season botched wraparounds and blazing speed that led to nothing helpful.
I mean, he worked hard. Pretty decent defensively. I wish him well in his recovery and with his next team, but I'm glad Dubas can identify problems and move on when needed.

I have to have my tools!
Can anyone explain to me how that EDM-DET deal was not cap circumvention.?
Detroit gets Yamamoto and Kostin rights for future considerations(nothing) going back to Edmonton.
Detroit buys out Yamamoto.
Detroit non-tenders Kostin and he becomes UFA.
So Detroit trades nothing to take on 2 years of Yamamoto buyout cap hit. And Edmonton pays nothing to do it. Edmonton just avoided having to pay Yamamoto his 3.1M salary this year or the buyout cap hit. What’s the point except cap circumvention and how is this allowed?
