Deets Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 9 hours ago, DownUndaCanuck said: Theoretically we could flip Schmidt and Holtby to a team for picks and save 10M then put 8.5M towards Hamilton, buyout Virtanen (get 2M cap relief) and Hamonic for 2.5-3M. OEL - Hamilton Hughes - Hamonic Rathbone - Myers Juolevi Sadly I doubt that'd happen, plus neither of those top guys are particularly tough or play super solid defence but boy it'd be fun to have some stars, arguably 3, all together. That being said, SJS went to crap after they united Burns and Karlsson... Not enough defence in that defence. I'd rather keep Schmidt and flip Holtby and Virtanen to find a stay at home guy for cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Gotta wonder if Benning will wait till after free agency when teams are more desperate after striking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) ... so is "very soon" in geological terms? Just want be able to manage my expectations If the Montreal rumours are true, I wonder what the trade could involve? Our "need" is now down to a top 4 RD and a 3C or 4C. It doesn't make a lot of sense to trade D for D straight up, but maybe in a package. Maybe Chiarot coming our way? If not it is just picks coming to us and then using the cap space in a different deal. Vegas has the extra D to auction off and some that could fill our needs. Borgen, Soucy maybe depending on who can play their off side. Edited July 24, 2021 by Provost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, at this point, he's probably content to sit back and see how things shake out. I'd imagine he'd be happy enough to go into the season with this lineup but will seize an opportunity if it's just right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Vancouver they aren’t looking to move out their top prospects. Montreal have brought in stop gap vets but Romanov is a key part of their future.

Looks like we're phoning up David Savard's agent in a few days then haha Regardless of whether we actually get Savard, I wonder how much he's going to go for. I've noticed some people throwing out numbers north of $5 mil...I'm not so sure about that, but I guess we'll find out.
