I take it Sasky is "in the know" based on the likes on their post?

Probably not, just a comment on when previous news on trades & signings have come out.

The Tkachuk trade, the Mangiapane extension and the Huberdeau extension were all announced around 9pm.

Through the comments as well it so clear this is not an announcement for an upcoming interview
Can’t a contract only be salary retained twice? Edmonton already has retained on it.

The two teams that have rumors swirling all around them are the Flames and Islanders, but no confirmation of anything. Both are apparently in on Kadri. Looking at their rosters, the interesting thing is that the Islanders have their top pairing locked up, and then two journeyman vets and two young guys on the bottom four. Calgary needs to shed a defenseman.

Both Tre and Lou love their out of the blue trades. Personally I can see Kadri in NYI.

So here is my best guesses for the next week.

Palmeiri and NYI 2023 1st to Calgary for Valimaki. Opens up NYI signing Kadri. Palmeiri reclamation.

Lucic to Boston via Arizona retaining 50% for a pick (third?). Not much real money in play, mostly cap.

So Valimaki & Lucic for Palmeiri & a 1st?

I mean, sure... the first is nice, but don't think that solves the Flames needing another top6 forward (Palmeiri isn't anymore).

Personally, I don't think that they need one. Just my opinion. Also banking on some Jersey Palmeiri magic for the bottom six. I could see the Isle missing the playoffs even with Kadri.

Flames is trying to win now, having a reclamation project won't help.

Palmieri at 5 million until 2025?

They would be better off just keeping Lucic and having him contract expire this season. The first rounder isn’t worth it.

2023 1st is absolutely worth it. Even lottery protected that pick will be very valuable this year

Not nearly as valuable as $5 million in cap space.

Palmieri has a full NTC this year and if past rumours of him not wanting to play in Canada are true, I doubt he would waive to come here.

Lucic to Boston is fake news. Everyone thinks Boston is just bringing the boys back.. It's not happening. Boston doesn't have the cap space either.
