Ottawa really looks to be making a push for the playoffs next year with the signings of Giroux, DeBrincat and Talbot. Add Sanderson to the mix and Pinto returning from injury, and they might be on the brink of making the playoffs again.  Still need their young guys to take a step forward, but should be inching closer.

The FA signings yesterday were good, but some of the trades were eye-opening. 

VGK: Take Patches, we don't want nothin' back. Just get his contract off our books.
CAR: Pass.
VGK: We'll throw in something called Dylan Coghlan
CAR: ... if you insist ... 

or

OTT: Take Matt Murray and his contract, please. We don't need anything back. 
TOR: Hard pass.
OTT: We'll throw in a 2023 3rd round pick 
TOR: ... we're listening ...
OTT: ... and a 2024 7th round pick.
TOR: Well if you're going to force us, sure.

Chuck Fletcher could have had Gaudreau (whose team growing up is the Flyers), but he finds a way to screw that up by spending too much money on the same type of defensemen

Another core piece has fallen into place for the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Blue Jackets signed restricted free-agent star Patrik Laine on Friday to a four-year deal with an average annual value of $8.7 million.

Blake Wheeler removed as Winnipeg Jets captain.   Why not try bring in Toews and let him be a captain and mentoring some young guy to take over after he retires?

This is what I speculate will happen .  .     

but how much salary would Chicago have to retain?  50%?

Most of the NMC/NTC have all the teams in Canada on them, I just don't see Toews going to play for a team in Canada.

Any NMC can be waived by the Player.... in a per team or deal basis Chicago is making it reallllly attractive to find a new place for Toews and Kane...

They'll use the "Goodbye period" to sell as many tix as possible up to the trades.

Sometimes you can't go home again.

Just ask Scott Frost.

But he did, and wanted to.  It might not have worked, but they gave it a go.  If Winnipeg needs leadership, Toews knows how to lead, even if his skills aren’t what they used to be.

Winnipeg needs something, sounds like the locker room was a massive cesspool last year.

Wasting Helly's Prime years over here Chevy...... good god.

Paul Maurice's job is to run the bench ... and the room. Now I understand his dismissal ... I mean resignation.
