Yeah, it was tight and they would have had to waive someone themselves. Toronto got him for two minor league players (24 year old in Russia with 1 NHL game under his belt and a 30 year old AHL defenseman who hasn't had a sniff of a NHL area since 2017) so it was minor cap dump for cap dump.

Hot take Scorp. Might want to compare him to some of the talent on the Flames. I mean, if you're going to put him down for only putting up 24 points last season, then maybe we could apply that same brush to someone who put up half that in similar time? This team needs another player with ability to make a pass and convert chances. Galchenyuk would have been an improvement over multiple players on our current roster.
