Unfortunately, not a deal we wanted to make but our options with Hedman were limited due to his NMC and teams willing or wanting to absorb his contract.
Although we weren’t over the cap yet, with terms agreed already with two pending UFA and a important RFA, we were going to have to lose a deal to get all our ducks in a row. Other options that were provided were even more hindering to our future.
Like two years ago, our goal was to retool and adjust our core.
Excited to add Carl, Victor, Denis and a 1st round pick.
