I think it's getting hotter in the room. No doubt it is desirable to have a decision in hand pre draft as it allows a lot more maneuvering.

If a puck mover is coming in, does that mean one (or more) of the bigger puck jamming forward contracts is being moved out? The question is where is the cap space coming from? Tkachuk? Mangiapane?
