    I imagine Francis and company will have dozens of versions to go through once all the lists are given over tomorrow. I could see a few versions having 1 or 2 big contracts and building the rest out with cheaper, shorter deals so they don’t slam against the cap and get stuck somewhere down the road.

    One option, if true, would be to take Price as your big expensive asset and the rest are cheap. Another option being Tarasenko, etc. and that’s IF Seattle chooses to keep the player! Imagine Seattle picking Price, retaining, idk, half the salary, and trading him to Boston for a major haul. Lots of things possible, this is very much fun lol

    it seems like Price only waived the NMC in order to potentially go to Seattle, so he could invoke it again if SEA was to try and flip him

    ohhh great point.

    in five minutes I have learned Price played juniors in Washington state and that his wife is from Washington state so I’m pretty much fully on board with him being selected. I know he’s older, has five years left and a lot of money but idk I’d be happy with it. Gotta start somewhere.

    If Bob Murray would have asked Bieksa to waive, Shea Theodore would still be a Duck today.

    from Jeremy Rutherford of the Athletic:

    Armstrong has told Tarasenko’s camp, according to a source, that no teams are interested in the player, who has scored 30-plus goals in five of his nine NHL seasons but has since had three shoulder operations. The source added that Los Angeles, New Jersey, Carolina and Boston, among other teams, have each expressed interest and were willing to take on Tarasenko’s $7.5 million salary-cap hit for the next two seasons, but Armstrong has not found a suitable return. That’s Armstrong’s prerogative, the source said, but the delay is worsening the relationship between the Blues and Tarasenko. And not that there was any recourse, but there is no going back now.

    I feel like Ben Bishop would be a better goalie choice than Carey Price

    wasn't Bishop out all year last year?

    it sounds like Seattle is signing Dreidger. I would probably take Kuemper or something and then just roll with those 2 if you don't go the Price route

    when healthy Bishop is still very very good, which Price is not. Granted it’s a moot point if they’re going Dreidger

    If you’re gonna take on a shitty contract you might as well go for Tarasenko.

    Tarasenko contract really isn’t that bad with only 2 years left
