His contract wouldn't be bad if Staal had retired like everyone thought he was going to do and KK was on the third line where he's supposed to be. Problem is that Staal didn't retire so team is stuck with two third line centers.

Maybe, that first might not convey and it ends up being a second and Morrow for him.

It's a heavy conditional first with protections and a second with Morrow. Morrow was getting traded no matter what because his organizational value has plummeted recently.

Miller also probably QB's one of the PP with Nikishin and/or Ghost on the other.

Apparently the organization wasn't high on Morrow anymore because of defensive issues that showed up in the playoffs. The first is conditional and also top ten protected if it conveys. "Don't know the conditions yet"

That's what the reporter for the Rangers said the compensation was.

The Miller trade is for a 2026 first round pick. (Not sure if Dallas or Canes own)

My bad, yeah would have to think they would be moving someone and he would be the most likely.

Was reported by Friedman earlier.

Hornets have traded for Pat Connaughton and two second round picks for Micic.

Kandre Miller being traded to the Canes.

I've heard Ehlers and Granlund. That's about it FA wise minus Orlov and Burns.

Vegas is now under the cap after Alex Pietrangelo retired.

Ivan Provorov signed a 7 year deal worth 8.5m AAV with Columbus.

The Carolina Hurricanes shared on Monday that they have issued qualifying offers to the following players, retaining the rights to five pending restricted free agents: Skyler Brind'Amour Domenick Fensore Noel Gunler Ronan Seeley Ryan Suzuki They have also traded a 2026 7th round pick for MTL goalie Cayden Primeau

Rumor Marchand has agreed to a 6 year 32m deal. 5.3m AAV. Puts them over the cap by 400k.

They've got to cut around 7m in cap space, so just Hertl wouldn't get them under. Lol

Tarasenko was traded to the Wild Knies signed for 6 years at 7.75m aav

They got both at a discount and Bennett at a heavy one. Still have enough for Marchand but would loose a ton of depth. They have 4.9m in cap space left after the Ekblad signing.

I surprisingly like this pick, I think he makes the team as well in the next couple years.

Why I put him with Ghosty on the third line. He can focus defensively while ES. If needed can play PP2 in a pinch but id have him focus solely on defense and leave him off the PP in favor of Nikishin. 3rd pairing and PK minutes with 15-17m of ice time seems perfect.

This is a damn good deal. He can score buckets, shoot the ball from 3. Can back up Ball or play the 2 since Ball has size and the teams 1-4 gives defensive versatility. (Even if it's not good versatility, lol) Dunno if they start him or have him come off the bench as the first reserve behind Ball and Green/ Kon at the two. Makes Green expendable for another trade though.

Yeah I'm surprised they even got one first for him much less two of them. Hell of a trade by the front office.

Slavin Chatfield Nikishin Walker Ghost Burns Best I can come up with baring doing trades of some sort. That last pairing would be a disaster I think but at least it's the third pair. lol

Vegas and Marner are in a pickle, if they can't complete the sign and trade with Toronto. Interesting to see what happens with that, Vegas would need to cut around 9m in cap space to make the signing possible and that's with them making no other changes to the team.
