Gotta love these 3 way trades where 2 teams eat half the salary so you get the player at 1/4 the price.

I want to see an orgy trade.

There is a big (frank)ing loser on the bottom of my screen in a sportsnet ad.

how much cap space do they have right now? I'm confused with the links I have
- deadpoulet


according to this, 1.5M + 2.8M on LTIR, so around 4.3M?

he was all in but it looks like it did not work

He's pretty much in a corner right now

not much on the market to being with and no cap space

I don't expect much today from him

He may do a minor trade and everyone will female dog about it

- deadpoulet


no trade he makes will alter the course of this team one way or another. Bergevin's salvation was never coming from the trade or the UFA market. you want to be a contender in the NHL, you have to be able to regularly draft and develop impact NHLers. this team has never been able to do that under Bergevin. it's why they had to trade for Josh Anderson, Nick Suzuki, Jonathan Drouin... imagine if you draft those guys and add them to a roster of Max Pacioretty, Max Domi, Mikhail Sergachev...

Overall he has gone a good job with UFA and trades, things he can control, his amateur scouting departement is what as failed him and has been bad since before him.

If we ignore actual team success this would be accurate.
