BOS: Ondrej Kase
ANA: 2020 1st round pick, David Backes (25% retained), and Axel Andersson
Why can't we move out our crappy contracts? Seriously NJ couldn't have taken Baertschi in the Simmonds(50% retained) deal?
or hell LA couldn't hold 10-30% of the contract so we can make Simmonds fit.
We gave up a 1st for JT Miller, Boston gave up a first for a guy with 7 goals this season to ditch Backes. Then there's Toronto giving up a 1st just to get rid of Marleau.
With the fairly-big deadline deal for Toffoli, its pretty clear that the cap has not hindered any deals - I'd read that LA would have retained, but Benning declined to lessen the acquisition price. In terms of this Simmonds deal supposedly scuttled by the cap, I really don't care about Wayne Simmonds and wouldn't give up much more than a 4th and a salary dump anyway. Simmonds was brutal after the TDD last year for Nashville, and I could see several other reasons why Benning wouldn't pull the trigger.

Bowen Byram with a couple more points last night. He has 20 points in his last 10 games! Up to 42 points in 43 games now. Colorado’s D is going to be sick in a year or 2. Joe Sakic is the best GM in the game.

Ken Holland was asked if there were any inquiries on a Puljujarvi made by other teams, Holland replies - “nobody really asked”

Doyle loves this player. Picked one spot ahead of Olli
“The Red Wings select Filip Zadina” - Holland

The Sabres currently hold the 8th worst record in the NHL. In the 2019 draft they selected 7th. That’s a vast improvement #tankhockeyisguaranteed

I'd trade for "Sticks" Zadina just cuz it's a cool porn name. Or a drummer in a hair band.

Miles Wood is THE porn name. I mean it’s not Karl Hungus... but it’s pretty good. Jackie Treehorn would give him a job.

Congrats on 700 Ovie! Just don’t forget you would be at 695 if I didn’t play in the league.

Canadiens Montréal
@CanadiensMTL
The Canadiens have acquired the Washington Capitals' third-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, in return for forward Ilya Kovalchuk.
Will we see an Ovie-Kovie-Kuzie line?
