Here's something to think about, we're paying Petry $2.3M, but his actual contract is about $6.2M if you count everyone that is paying him. Maybe that would qualify for a buyout considering he actually does make more than $4M. Make Holl your 7th D. re Husso, just buy him out if you can't trade him. We cannot do this 3 goalie thing again. If there's an injury, then we have Campbell to call up. NEVERMIND the Petry buyout! Here's what'll it cost because YES he does still count at $6.2M It'll cost more on the cap to buy him out than to keep him! Just buyout Husso and waive Holl or something.

Nothing. Do not want.

I honestly would trade Veleno in a package for McGroarty. I am not sure if that can be done pending arbitration, but that would be ideal. Husso HAS to be bought out, and a D has to go.

Must get them both.

Here's Husso buyout info: We also need to remember that (D) Jacob Truscott will become UFA in August since he isn't signing with Vancouver.

I hope Yzerman isn't done for the summer. The D and G situation has to be taken care of.

These two are no longer with the organization....as of right now.

Need to get him! 1 season in GR tops!

Yzerman must be working on some sort of trade because with $20M in cap, there's no reason why Seider and Raymond aren't signed. He must be gonna acquire someone, then figure out what cap he has to clear to get them signed. It has to be D, so who are we getting?

As long as Ekblad is coming here, cool!

Adam Boqvist signed with Panthers. 1x775k.

Just waive him and hope he gets picked up, or trade him with retained salary to somebody for the ol' future considerations. IMO they can't go with 3 goalies again. You have Campbell for injury replacement. You go with Lyon and Talbot in Detroit and Cossa, Gylander and Campbell in GR.

When it comes time, yes. But he cannot sign an extension until after July of 2025 once the last year of his current contract kicks in.

Edvinsson still has 2 years left on his ELC.

So. Adam Boqvist, is he a bust or would he be worth getting him into the organization?

Still out there for bottom 6 and RHD bottom pair: Tyler Johnson Tyson Barrie

More GR depth

With so many LHD on the team when Edvinsson and Johansson are up, I can see Maatta being the one dealt. They seem to like Chiarot a lot and keeping Holl gives them 3 RHD.

Also, when asked if there was another move possible, his answer was "I would say there's another move possible...we'd consider that"

That was all last year too... and then Debrincat.

"Future Considerations" San Jose only has 4 Defensemen signed, and ONE Goalie. Holl and Husso to San Jose for MORE future considerations. They have over $16M in cap space, it'll free up another $8.1M for us. Giving us roughly $29M to sign the RFA's and or acquire a better Defender. Might not be done up front either. Even with signing Berggren, that's only 12 forwards where we stand. We dump Husso and Holl, that'll leave room for a 13th forward while having only 2 goalies up and 8 D counting Edvinsson and AJo. IF Laggeson goes to GR.

We got ANOTHER goalie now though. One has got to go! I'm talking to myself here!

It's funny, I saw the trade, then went to capfriendly.com to see our current roster and saw we still only had $20M in cap! I was like, oh s***, who'd we get! LETS GO! now upgrade the D, ditch Husso and get RFA'S signed! We're ready!
