So you're icing the same team that got us to 30th overall minus Pageau, Anderson, De Melo, Duclair, Ryan, Hainsey, Boro but with 4-5 rookies (Batherson, Norris, Stutzle, Brannstron, L.Brown) and maybe formenton, chlapik, Abramov?

Woof

i'm at a loss, how we hit that cap realistically. it better not be LTIR.

Either that or trading for a bunch of plugs on one-year deals.

Gudbransson - RHD, 1 yr $4M AAV, $3M salary
Ryan Kesler - LTIR, 2 yr $6.875M AAV
Derek Stepan - C, 1 yr, $6.8M AAV, $5M salary (though Arizona has their own cap floor to hit)
Hossa - LTIR, 1 yr, $5.275M AAV, $1M salary (same comment as above)

- Adam Larsson in Edmonton has one year left and is likely out until March
- Boychuk and Eriksson need new homes, etc
- Maybe Philly wants to move on from Giroux after his brutal playoff

Called it. #1 on my list . Guy is garbage . Equal to josh brown. We continue to stockpile dung

Gudbran is the only player in the league to increase their trade worth during COVID. Dorion must have liked his Twitter cooking videos during the break. Anaheim paid a 7th for his services pre-virus. We paid a 5th now.

DefenceWinsChampionships wrote:Yeah. Again. Mind boggling.

Why sign Zub and trade for both Brown and Gudbranson. Clear to me Dorion has no idea what he's doing

Why would they have gotten anything? He’s likely going to be moved at the deadline too.

Wanna bet it is for much much much less than a 5th? It was a 7th a couple months ago from Anaheim to Pittsburgh.

Wanna bet it is for much much much less than a 5th?   It was a 7th a couple months ago from Anaheim to Pittsburgh.

It was a year ago, a 7th and martinsen

The player was added for contract limits. He was Anaheim’s worst prospect.
