EDM - Kemp, 2026 1st or 2nd
BOS - Carlo.
1.) 08 Jan 2025 10:41:13
Bit of a repost but I think at the deadline Oil might be able to fit this in without trading cap back.
Carlo has fallen to the bruins 4/ 5 D. They have no prospects and are on the decline. He’d be a very movable piece for them to start a retool.
2.) 08 Jan 2025 13:13:42
I can't see that being overly interesting for them. That's less than he gets as a rental.
3.) 08 Jan 2025 16:44:02
I can see the fit, but EDM would have to move some money out to fit Carlo under the cap.
4.) 08 Jan 2025 18:44:43
I disagree, I can’t see Carlo getting much more than a 1st.
I think I read they’ll have a lot of cap space at the deadline not exactly sure.
5.) 13 Jan 2025 19:12:36
Teams on a 7 game win streak dont trade their captain. Especially for a player rumored to have beef with another prominent player on their team.
Only one that wins in this trade is Petterson who finally gets to escape the media circus in Vancouver.
02 Jan 2025 18:01:42
NYR - Zibanejad, Miller, Othmann
VAN - Miller, Desharnais, 2025 3rd.
1.) 04 Jan 2025 12:57:02
Not sure Vancouver want zibanejad, but seems pretty fair.
2.) 04 Jan 2025 14:09:25
Nice one EBS?. This seems especially well thought out.
NYR are committed to a making big moves, and whether they realize it yet or not, they’ve poisoned the well with their players and prospects, as well as their reputation around the league. Nothing will change until their ownership changes. James Dolan has the impulse control of a rat on fire running through a meth lab.
VCR is a team that is not afraid of making a big move, and they certainly have their own reasons for wanting to shake things up. If there’s a way they can rid themselves of Pettersson rather than Miller, they should. Unfortunately for them I think the rest is the league is rightfully wary of adding such an expensive, over-sensitive, whiner.

EDM - J. Skinner, Kemp, 2025 1st
BOS - Carlo.
1.) 22 Dec 2024 15:30:42
Why would Boston consider that? A backup goalie a mid to late first and a 7/ 8 D for a top 4D. What's the reasoning here?
2.) 22 Dec 2024 17:35:26
@memarcusjoe no goalie in this deal, that's Jeff Skinner he's purposing. Regardless though Bruins don't bite on it what so ever.
3.) 22 Dec 2024 17:43:25
Ah got ya'. I forgot about that Skinner. That makes it even worse.
4.) 22 Dec 2024 21:16:12
Stu skinner is a backup? Bruins do it for cap space and draft capital. Kemp ready for some NHL minutes too. What do you think Carlo is getting in a trade? Can’t be that much more than a 1st.
5.) 22 Dec 2024 21:42:27
Carlo as a top 4 RHD on a good contract for a couple years definitely gets more than a throw away, rental winger with a bad contract and a rental AHL depth defenseman.
6.) 22 Dec 2024 22:28:54
Along with the mid to late first.
7.) 23 Dec 2024 06:16:15
Ekholm got a late first and a prospect and a worse contract. Kemp is just close to the NHL but could upgrade the prospect.
8.) 23 Dec 2024 13:20:31
Ekholm was older, an LHD and Nashville wanted to move him. None of those apply to Carlo.
9.) 24 Dec 2024 15:43:50
And he was waaaaaay better. Boston might be in a similar position to Nashville at the deadline if there out of the playoffs. A quick couple year retool and they can be on the rise again.
10.) 02 Jan 2025 00:18:51
And why do you say Nashville wanted to move Ekholm? They were also fighting for a playoff spot.
17 Oct 2024 22:05:15
EDM - Kulak
TOR - Liljegren.
04 Oct 2024 04:49:08
OTT - Ulmark, 1st
BOS - Swayman.
1.) 04 Oct 2024 17:55:20
Seems odd from Bostons perspective considering they just traded Ullmark instead of Swayman.
2.) 04 Oct 2024 17:59:37
Hey EBS, your deal is fair, value-wise, but I just don’t think it would ever happen. Ulmark moving twice in a short time like that just wouldn’t look good on either franchise.
3.) 05 Oct 2024 06:09:29
Ulmark might be happy to come back who knows. Odd for sure though. Boston probably regret there decision at this point.
4.) 05 Oct 2024 19:27:53
I agree 100% EBS! When they traded Ulmark before signing Swayman they committed the worst unforced error I’ve seen since some of Dubas’ beauties!
I’m sure Swayman’s agent is still laughing hard at Sweeney handing him all the leverage. ?.
5.) 07 Oct 2024 13:11:49
So Boston receives:
Linus Ullmark
2 1st round draft picks
Joonas Korpisalo
Mark Kastelic
And all they need to do is trade Swayman?
6.) 07 Oct 2024 18:47:15
Yeah except not Ulmark. Lol and Korpisalo is a cap dump at 4M.

I posted this back in 2020. I think it’ll be the best draft ever. Also fun fact McDavid is going to pass the highest point getter from the 2003 draft this season.
1.) 31 Dec 2024 01:17:37
Is that your order? Hintz and Joel EK are low and Prov way to high.
2.) 31 Dec 2024 06:08:43
It was my order in 2020. Kaprizov top 5, so many top 5 talents.
26 Jun 2023 05:04:43
What do you guys think about the idea of every team being able to have one buyout at a time not count against the cap?
For example VAN would have OEL use up their buyout slot for the next 8 seasons so if they choose to buy someone else out it’ll have the regular cap implications.
It would give a lot of teams breathing room and a chance to make their team way better.
03 Mar 2023 15:40:33
Holland talked to Puljujarvi about an extension in the 1M’s and Puljujarvi was okay with the money but he thought a fresh start would be better. Makes me think he never asked for a trade. I think a new opportunity is what he wanted but it sounded like it was a hard decision.
McKinnon signing for 12.6M and Pasternak signing for 11.25M shows they didn’t take discounts to stay. They both had no leverage on the their first contracts and probably got what they deserved. This is their critical money making contract that will make 90% of their career earnings and they took full advantage. Now on their next contracts sure I can see them taking less to stay. I believe Nuge did it, Kane potentially, Barrie (who I hope takes less to come back on his next contract) .
1.) 07 Mar 2023 01:09:34
The way I look at it if you take a discount as a union man to stay at a specific work site you’re a awful person I don’t care if you have family there. unions are meant to make sure people get what they are deserved and aren’t taken advantage of. Taking a discount is bad for the rest of the NHL because it effects the comparable contracts used by management and in term makes others less money. The owners are billionaires. They can afford to pay the players much more then what they’re paying them for the most part.
2.) 07 Mar 2023 23:31:27
I agree when it comes to these big dollar contracts but when it comes to a veteran who has already made his money I don’t see a problem with it. I just wanted to point out that the people that say McDavid and Matthews and whatever top players should have taken less like McKinnon they’re wrong. Or that Boston has a culture of taking less and Pasternak will do the same were wrong.
3.) 08 Mar 2023 19:40:03
Yeah for sure there is term thrown around in unions for the older members “ he served his time and payed his dues” I think that applys to the tenured vets.
4.) 08 Mar 2023 23:06:39
I also contradict myself a little because I think Campbell would have been smart to take say 4.75M instead of 5M and Nurse 8.75M instead of 9.25M. They would just take way less heat for there play if there salary started with one smaller of a number.
5.) 09 Mar 2023 13:05:05
Who cares about heat realistically. I’ll take the extra half of million to pay for Vegas therapy.
6.) 09 Mar 2023 17:32:06
Edmonton media/ fans play at least a small part of who stay and who goes. Fans hated Justin Schultz, Lucic, half and half on Puljujarvi and they all got moved possibly because of it. I don’t know how these guys value 500K when your making 9M so hard to say but it might be worth it to not get ripped on Twitter all time.
03 Aug 2022 20:27:16
Why hasn’t any GM offer sheeted Sandin yet? Leafs have -1.5M in cap space and the compensation for a 2.1M offer is only a 3rd. Would a 3 year @2.1M AAV get signed or matched? Have the salary be in the 3M for his last year to get him a high AAV on his next contract.
1.) 04 Aug 2022 00:35:51
Because Sandin isn't that good.
28 Mar 2022 18:30:25
If Husso is the starter for St. Louis in playoffs, will it cost them a lot to unload Binnington or does he have value? He’ll have 4 years left after this season at 6M. Will they just have to let Husso walk to free agency? I think I pretty close comparable is Driedger and he got 3 years at 3.5M.
1.) 30 Mar 2022 16:06:01
I’m sure Buffalo would take Binnington. Well pretty sure. He has a solid pedigree and hasn’t been as bad as Murray before he was traded.
18 Jan 2025 05:57:52
Retain Jones at 50% and it’s closer but they already made that mistake with OEL. Hall at 50% is worth like a 4th.
16 Jan 2025 18:21:00
This is quantity over quality. Coyle peaked at a low end 2nd line center but is actually an expensive 3rd line center. Carlo is a mid to low end top 4.
Agree Petterson is elite so they’d need at least a piece that is high high end coming back.
15 Jan 2025 18:21:23
Decent place holder/ bandages in Coyle and Carlo. But unless VAN thinks Poitras is going to be a stud then they easily pass on this.
13 Jan 2025 06:16:09
Really disappointing tournament for sure. Coach and GM were a lot to blame and maybe Hockey Canada culture?
I agree 5 game tournament doesn’t need to be taken too serious. He’s obviously a really good player, just hard to have him up there with the best when he wasn’t.
Canada should have a bunch of guys returning so hopefully they get us a medal!
12 Jan 2025 19:05:37
A lot of those guys will also be back next year and they’ll be the ones in positions to be the best. And if they finish the tournament with 3 points Canada probably won’t medal again.
31 Dec 2024 06:08:43
It was my order in 2020. Kaprizov top 5, so many top 5 talents.
01 Mar 2024 00:41:36
Isn’t the condition on if Dallas wins the cup? I’d say it’s closer to a 2nd and 3rd as a return.
28 Feb 2024 18:30:33
Might be cheaper to trade for him and no they have to use there own picks as far as I know.
09 Feb 2024 13:54:29
Agreed. If olympics are back anyway you can make this tournament different with team Europe and u23 team. Try out some different rules even.
12 Jan 2024 01:44:09
Nylander might end up being similar to the Nurse contract.
