Trying to eliminate a mistake.............The Oilers have placed goaltender Jack Campbell on unconditional waivers for the purpose of a buyout. A buyout saves the Oilers $3.9 million on their cap next season, $2.7 million in 2025-26, and $2.4 million during the 2026-27 campaign. The Oilers would then take a cap hit of $1.5 million the following three seasons.

Did not see the buyout of RHD Adam Boqvist by Columbus - $2.6m contract. He was highly rated and never hit his potential. Never has played full seasons - injury prone. Perhaps to make room for Jiricek in the lineup but giving up on a soon to be 24 year old seems premature.

The Tampa Bay Lightning and pending unrestricted free agent Jake Guentzel have agreed to terms on a contract. Details of the pact have yet to be finalized, but all signs point to a seven-year deal. The Bolts traded a 2025 third-round pick to the Hurricanes to acquire his rights earlier on Sunday. Guentzel and Carolina were reportedly negotiating an eight-year, $64-million pact before the trade.

Veteran defenceman Chris Tanev has a new contract. After spending the season split between the Calgary Flames and Dallas Stars, he is on the move. The veteran is signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The years haven’t been mentioned, but he will have an AAV of $5 million which is great value for him. (Hearing 6 years.)

Steven Stamkos is still on course to become a free agent even after the Tampa Bay Lightning cleared significant salary cap space with trades made at the NHL draft. General manager Julien BriseBois and agent Don Meehan on Saturday independently confirmed their stances have not changed with respect to Stamkos signing a new contract with the club before free agency opens Monday. Signing Guentzel may not help. He'll probably test the market like last time & then resign with TB for similar dollars.

Jonathan Marchessault is headed to market Monday. Unable to come to terms with the Vegas Golden Knights. Gotta believe for the right price/term the Habs will be interested.

“If Jacob Trouba does not approve a trade to Detroit that is believed in place, he will ultimately be sent somewhere else, perhaps by waivers. The decision has been made.” Interesting....Why wouldn't he accept a trade to his home town team?

Should help stabilize their goaltending with Charlie Lindgren. Golden Knights GM Kelly McCrimmon said post-draft that Logan Thompson had asked for a trade (more opportunity.) |

The Florida Panthers are upset that no one congratulated them on their Stanley Cup win during the draft. Boo Hoo?
Although I thought I heard one team congratulate them. (Did find it odd.)

Perhaps to make room for Jiricek in the lineup but giving up on a soon to be 24 year old seems premature. Yeah, but then by the same token... Jesse Ylonen 24, Mattias Norlinder 24, Lias Andersson 25... we just let all those guys walk for nothing. Ryan Poehling was 23hen we tossed him in as a throw-in in the Jeff Petry trade. Noah Juulsen was 23 when we put him on waivers and lost him. Jarred Tinordi was 23 when we sent him packing for peanuts. Kyle Chipchura was also 23 when we gave up on him. Going back further, there was that whole slew of younger guys we ditched early in their careers who went on to have strong careers... Ron Hainsey, Stephane Robidas, Francois Beauchemin, Darcy Tucker, Mikhail Grabovski, Arron Asham, Andrew Cassels, Craig Conroy, etc. Some were lost for nothing, some were throw-ins in trades, some were exposed in expansion drafts, and so on. And you can find similar stories with other teams.
The bottom line is
1. I agree, teams often don't give proper chances to their young blue chip prospects and end up losing them without having seen what they can do. 2. At the same time, you can't keep everyone. There isn't enough ice time, there aren't enough roster and contract spots, and there's a salary cap. So Boqvist at 2.6M may just not be feasible for Columbus, and if they see 3 RHD ahead of him on their depth chart longterm, then they probably tried to trade him and couldn't find a suitor at that cap.
I'd certainly be willing to sign him to a lower cap hit and give him a try here. I still believe we could use help on the right side of our D, especially with Kovacevic traded. Maybe Boqvist gets beaten out in camp here too, but if he's making 1-1.5M a year, then sending him to the minors is less of an issue. And if Mailloux, Reinbacher, and/or Barron aren't ready, he'd be another younger player with some experience added to the mix.

Agree with that. HuGo have always stated they don't want to sign someone to deter the development of their current pool, but one has to figure Savard is likely gone within the year. Reinbacher could probably use another 2-3 months to the trade deadline in Laval. Guhle can cover the right side but not is not optimal. Better to sign Boqvist than a Giordano which was insane. An 8 man D of Matheson, Guhle, Hutson, Mailloux, Savard - Harris Xhekaj, Boqvist with Struble in Laval for awhile would not be terrible. One would think that Harris could be a trade thought as well. |
