San Jose had so much hype around them and then decided to commit to Nurse and Trouba on their defence for the foreseeable future. Odd.

Interesting. I like this trade. Paul's a good fit for 3C. Makes the Sissons signing even more questionable though. I guess the play is to have a x-Paul-Sissons shutdown line. We're definitely going heavy into the top-6/bottom-6 line-up construction.

Ok well that pushes it to slight overpayment territory. Still like the player though.

A lot of talk about no trade clauses lately. This is a 29-year old 4th liner with 99 NHL games under his belt getting a NMC in one year and a full NTC in another followed by a limited NTC.

Seems reasonable enough.

Two deals that I think probably would have made more sense here. The fit for Roslovic just seems a little more questionable after the Sissons+Blueger deals. Like Domi I don't think he'll be good enough to play with Matthews consistently but not good defensively enough to play on a non-sheltered...

Raddysh, Bob, and Tuch were generally considered the top-3 UFAs a week ago. Like you said though, a pretty shallow pool.

Joshua-Blueger-Duhaime seems like a pretty solid 4th line. Maybe move on from Lorentz. I think that would be a fairly easy contract to trade.

To use a herman term, we got a fasthole. I remember reading up on Duhaime when we got Dewar and he seemed like a really interesting 4th liner. Seems slightly redundant though as a lefty with Joshua and Lorentz here, but maybe that'll get figured out eventually.

It sounded like he didn't want to go west.

Feels notable to pair these guys together. Another one that's slightly more than I thought. edit: after slightly more thought the money on this actually seems fine. The Sissons cost is still a headscratcher though. I don't think he's a 3C but seems like that's what they're expecting him to do...

Like the player, but that's significantly more than I expected. Guess it's just the centre market.

Big question now: who wears #72 next season?

Interesting bet. Levi was pretty highly touted as a goalie prospect at one point. Toronto and Edmonton going in opposite directions to address their goaltending in their next two do-or-die seasons.

From what I can see Bob missed like a dozen games due to injury throughout his 7 year contract with Florida.

I was worried about term mostly, so getting him for 3 years is great. I think he'll definitely bounce back and provide solid, reliable (this is key considering how our goalies have held up physically lately) goaltending for at least another 2 years. And that's the big window we're obviously...

Vegas' cap situation meant that they couldn't sign him until July 1st:

That's a bit of a steal.
