Jets sold Copp, but it would be hard not to at the return. It's certainly plausible that they were just stubborn on a price for Stastny, but it seems nobody made a convincing enough offer.

Tre Flys to Montreal for dinner and discussion, Walsh tweets about it and still nothing.

I get there is the "process " but....makes me wonder what the holdup is about.

Are decisions pending about buyouts and retirements ?

Anybody with a crystal ball guess?
Pretty sure we've only seen a few significant guys extend 1 year early so far, and all have been RFAS (3 guys on Tampa and R Thomas)

There are tons of 1 yr to UFA guys who are likely to extend early that haven't yet:

MacKinnon
Pastrnak
Miller/Horvat
Larkin
Bertuzzi
ROR/Tarasenko
