They are likely to move pending RFA or UFA’s so any salary retention will only be for the remainder of the season

This is the news we have been wanting to hear.

[Skyceman]

Good. No need to have a firesale if the market is not there. The off season is where we will find the right deals to make the right changes.

I think at minimum he has to move Rittich, Ryan and Bennett. I think he will.

Nothing big though. Makes sense.

[topfiverecords]

Darn, I was hoping we’d move our 1st for a rental.

[btimbit]

Good. No need to add. Sell Rittich since there is interest. Ryan retained at 50% would likely get a decent price. Bennett still a big question mark.

Leivo, Simon, Rinaldo, Ritchie, Nordstrom, doubt anyone's interested so can't be mad when none of them leave

Players going into the US dont have to quarantine that long do they?

Just 4 negative tests and good to go i believe.

Of course treliving hasn't been able to do that for 3 years now.

Exactly. The guy who clung to this rotten core since he arrived is the one we're hoping will fix things in the offseason? Please.

BT will be on every deal

It’d almost be better if Gaudreau was UFA next season because I think we’d get a ton of value for him as a rental this year. Might be an unpopular opinion

[Jiri Hrdina]

The only guys that simply may have value as rentals are Rittich and Ryan.
Folks have been speculating that a guy like Nesterov could be moved for a pick. Not sure there is a ton of interest in a part-time dman on one of the worst teams in the league.

I think the NHL mandated there must be a 7 day quarantine regardless, whenever a player leaves one team and goes to the next one. Testing is done on days 1,3,5, and 7.

Rest be sured, it’ll be leaked too. So that everyone is reminded or knows how hard of a working GM he is.

I have a bad feeling that they won’t trade Bennett for the sole reason of the expansion draft. They will leave Gio and Bennett unprotected and hope they pick Bennett ( good chance they would) . This is not what I want to happen . I want pick for Bennett and hopefully Gio traded or picked up in expansion draft.

Bennett to i would think...there is no way they are QOing him so he is essentially UFA as well.

[genetic_phreek]

I've always hated how we treated the deadline. Aside from the one season where we won the conference, we always seem to want to make a trade for a playoff push, and not a stanley cup push. "Anything can happen in the playoffs" mindset.

[Flamesfan05]

Treliving painted himself into a corner

[FBI]

This has been the worst of the worst season. Someone give me some silver linings

It's the GM equivalent of Mike Smith's staring at his Dmen after he lets in a softy. I kid....
