Prudent to wait til after the e-draft unless JB already has a side deal with the Kraken.
- Nighthawk

People still use Prudent in 2021

They need to be put on waivers first for the purpose of buyout . Some very desperate team might try for a Hail Mary

Who would want to claim the potential sexual aggressor? Only team I can think of is Arizona since they don't seem to care who they pick up

I will ask Evander and Patrick Kane and get back to you.

Wasn't Patty Kanes situation disproven? Or did he just pay her off?

Either way, different caliber players.

I said potential. I will wait to hear more before having any kind of hard opinion on it, just saying it wouldn't be a good PR move for any team right now.

That’s fair.

Ya, but they don't have a trade/retain + buyout calculator, that I'm aware of.
- NewYorkNuck

It would be just like when the Canucks bought out Spooner, the Rangers had to puck up the cost of whatever the retained salary in percentage is.
Nevermind what Nucker says, he isn't very smart, myself on the other hand, am a know-it-all and prefer to be called Mr. Know-it-all.

I am not a football fan but Steelers quarterback. Ray Lewis for murder. LA Kings had a wife beater and before Bettman banned the player teams were lining up to see if he wanted to sign with them.

Owners and GMs are a forgiving bunch.

Seattle is trying to figure out a way to get out of selecting a member of Vancouver's trash bin.

Vegas asked the NHL if they could skip Vancouver

Seattle is probably going to ask as well.

Again, to me to comes down to quality of player. Morals go out the window if someone can bring you big profits. Jake ain't that guy, so why would anyone take the risk?

@ Vintsy

Utica's new name is Devils

Yeah, I mentioned Ottawa - Binghamton Senators and NJ - Utica Devils (formerly Albany Devils). I think I did anyway, a bit hungover today…

If his contract is insured it doesn't cost them anything.
- LeftCoaster

It’s not

Like Horton’s contract wasn’t. It’s why Toronto could move Clarkson (insured) to Columbus for Horton (had to pay $). They couldn’t risk that Clarkson would be healthy enough to play, because he stinks (did)

True this! Just look how Kobe is deified now but has just as bad a track record.

It's okay it will stink less after Canucks pick up a couple e-draft casualties. Though seems Wings and Ducks will compete hard for them too.

Keep an eye also on buyouts. Dallas picked up a nice buy out Corey Perry really cheap been to the cup twice since then.

I know Neal is going to get bought out and Jim should jump on him for one year as a fourth line player 900 K to 1 mi

That's after the fireworks of activity around e-draft to first UFA hours. I see that as step 4 moves.
