I wonder if this trade went out because someone offered to take off the heat from the offer sheet. Could Boston match most offers around 7-7.3 mil?

Edmonton must have pissed off Boston, so Boston took the minor upgrade (1st, 2nd and 3rd offer sheet, so upgraded on 3rd to a second PLUS less resources used to hammer out a deal with Hamilton) and told Edmonton to chat with us.

The only two teams I see who we would get downgraded draft order wise if offer sheeted over 7.3 mil is:

Boston (Makes no sense)
Ottawa (Not sure)
Winnipeg (Do they need another D after grabbing Myers?)

Everyone else, we will probably take their picks and get a draft order upgrade, so they won't move at us:

Edm
Phi
Tor
Ari

Just a silly analysis from me. Hope I didn't screw up. So excited!
