Holmberg not qualified? Interesting.

That’s true of lots of role players. I’m not advocating for the Leafs to hold on to him, just that he’d get similar money as a UFA in the current market.

Tomorrow is going to be all about Ehlers, I guess.

For a pending UFA that was going to walk for nothing tomorrow, I’m good with that. Not good with it getting to this point, but, with where we are…

Pietrangelo to LTIR is another $8.8m

Tre loves these inexpensive 3 year deals for guys down the lineup.

Sure. He puts up 30-35 points playing solid D. That’s a perfectly good role player.

Well, at least that saves me from having to cheer for Marchand

For $2M, you’re not getting someone who has a good track record in the playoffs. You’re getting a role player.

Return is TBD. Roy almost certainly part of it. Is he all of it or is there more? We’ll see!

Puts Florida at around $5M in cap space to add a backup goalie, a couple forwards and a 7th D. Without moving salary out, they're basically out on the bigger names out there.

He's basically Marner-lite, but primarily on LW. If he rebounds, this is a fantastic deal.

Conditional 3rd rounder going the other way. Interesting buy low candidate. Looked like a promising playmaking LW before this past season.

Wings clearing cap space?

I mean, as 4th liners go, he is one.

Of the two, I'd prefer Brazeau. He doesn't appear to need an unsustainable shooting percentage to contribute - though, he doesn't provide as much of a physical impact as Jeannot. I'll take the extra depth offence/ability to move up in the lineup over the extra hits.

I don't take any denials coming out a GM's mouth at this time of the year completely seriously. Things move fast and change frequently. Not saying it will happen, but denials ring pretty hollow - especially from Vegas.

They obviously still need to shed some cap, but this trade effectively brought in replacements for Hague and Roy (downgrades, but not necessarily massive ones). There have been a lot of rumblings about them also trying to move Hertl. I guess we'll see.

Nope. Any professional contract makes them ineligible. They have previously considered the CHL leagues to be professional, but the recent agreement between the two associations changes that moving forward (though, only for D1 schools). https://www.collegehockeyinc.com/ncaa-eligibility/
