Obviously in the Monahan situation Treliving likely was approaching teams to take on Monahan. I wonder how often it happens the other way where a team approaches another team saying hey we know you have this contract you'd like to get rid of, we're willing to take it on.

I knows it sacrilegious to want to help the Oilers, but they seem like a prime candidate with their window potentially closing and some bad cap restraints. With Draisaitl a year from UFA and McDavid 2 years away can they really just let things play out? If the Flames could take advantage of that situation I think they 100% should. Likewise with other teams in the league who might be desperate.
Their 10M goalie went on LTIR otherwise they would have been struggling to get under the cap let alone take anyone on

It was also coming out of covid and almost nobody had space
