Its not over, and that cap space was still important as you said to either ice a team, or even sign a hotdog loving 3 time cup champion.

Pro scouting has been good recently. A sneaky move is probably more beneficial than giving up a lot of assets for one of the more obvious names anyway.

I just have a feeling they are still going to make a significant move, this is Rutherford here, we have a ton of time

I have to admit, I'm going to be disappointed if Kessel isn't a Canuck.

There's no reason not to sign him, especially if they don't move for anyone else. We need a top 6 forward and he is as close as we might get.

Okay. That's kinda annoying. I'd gladly give up our first next year as the equivalent to that package.
JR wasn't cooking. He took a nap and forgot to set the alarm.

henrique and carrick could make the oilers bottom 6 relevant. that would be huge for them.
They're not going to rebuild. That's not what they want to do. That's from ownership. They're only trading their UFAs because they don't want to get embarrassed again when they walk for nothing. You clearly don't pay attention to Calgary at all.
Even in the Lindholm trade, very little of that transaction was "payment" to take on Kuzmenko. You could view the core of it as 1st + Bruz for Lindholm. So at most, the Canucks were paying a depth pick and C-prospect for Calgary to take on Kuz.
So yes. I maintain it would not have been that hard to clear Kuz.

I don't think much of Carrick(I guess he's a shit disturber?), Henrique could be decent but that cost was hilarious.

Pretty we still need to clear cap even with that retentionOkay. That's kinda annoying. I'd gladly give up our first next year as the equivalent to that package.

Wingers are dirt cheap
Centres like Lindholm and Henrique cost you 1st round pick ++

Don't know what the cost for Mangiapane would be but hes a fantastic under rated middle 6 player.

I don't get this obsession with Kessel. He isn't remotely a top six forward. There's a reason literally nobody signed him yet. He can't play those kinds of minutes anymore. Vegas scratched him for the rest of their cup run after what, four games?
Sign him, sure. But it's for the vibes and nothing else.

Greenway would be a great add honestly, as a new dimension to the bottom six
