Do the retention slots end at the end of the contract or end of the season? Pretty sure they stay until July 1 meaning we only have one slot at the draft?
Listen, I know this stuff never happens, but we all know the NJ situation and so Marky could get their first. I'd do it straight up with retention. Buffalo and Ras seems like a fit too. Is their 11 OA pick going to end their playoff drought next year. Doubt it.
Go get yourself Catton, Iginla and Yakemchuk... And you still have another first! Whatever happens, hopefully this is one of those signature drafts for Conny and Button
