After the Smith trade, Vegas has now gone and re-signed Barbashev to a 5 year, 25M contract. 5M AAV

He definitely left money on the table to stay in Vegas. If anyone should have went to market to see what he could get in this market it would be Barbashev…

Who are the Isles clearing space for?

2026 2nd round pick. Isles already trading draft picks 2 seasons from now. Lou says I don't care, I'll be long gone.

That's what you think.

So it cost a 2nd round pick to get out of Bailey, who has 1 year left on his deal at $5mill. Granlund has 2 years left at $5mill. If the cost to dump him is two 2nd's we should just buy him out. This team is going to need all the picks they can get in 2-3 seasons.

Buy him out, or try flipping him to Edmonton for Jack Campbell, in which case a pick should come back to us with Campbell having 4 years and Granlund only 2.

Yamamoto and Klostin to Detroit for future considerations. There's Edmonton's cap dump. So much for a Granlund for Campbell swap.

[FLPensFan]

Chris Johnston reports there is word that Jesse Puljujarvi recently underwent a double hip surgery and is going to be out for a long time. He's not getting qualified by Carolina.

This has come up before and I'm not opposed to the idea. Who knows Campbell better than Dubas? Besides, it solves the goalie situation for less $ than Jarry will likely get.

Klostin is a solid bottom 6 younger player. Shows you GM's really only like using the buyout as a last resort. Hopefully Dubas finds a way to move on from Granlund without costing too much. Or Carter dare I say...

Mentioned on DFL today that it’s the day to dump contracts. Keep an eye on:

Yamamoto
Bailey
Petry
Mantha
Wheeler
Hoffman
Forbort/Reilly
Granlund

Aside from Wheeler and maybe Mantha, not many are buyout candidates, but first buyout window closes Friday at 5pm ET.

Josh Bailey is on waivers today, going to be bought out. Chicago just acquired him along with a 2nd in 2026. His 5M salary this year will cost 2.6M against the cap this season, and 1.6M against the cap next year.

Bailey is the only player on waivers today. Tomorrow is the last day. The Granlund clock is ticking loudly.

Corey Perry UFA rights traded to Chicago for a 7th round pick.

[lemieuxReturns]

F'ing Chicago. They are going to be a super power here very soon.
Take a look at all the picks they have over the next 3 years. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/blackhawks" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'm in utter disbelief that these deals are allowed. I get allowing some leeway because of the flatcap and whatnot. But I cannot believe the other GMs dont raise hell. Probably 15 other GMs or more trying to move cap. Probably had offers turned down by Stevie to dump cap. And then a trade like this happens with zero compensation paid for the cap clearance.

Without some kind of criteria (ie X games = this pick) I think future considerations shouldn't be allowed as a return in a trade.

I'm not sure when this changed, because up until the last year or two, I didn't think future considerations was allowed in NHL deals. It had to be at least a 7th or a prospect. There were no deals allowed where nothing went the other way.

Bertuzzi to test free agency.

Would be silly not to. Surprised Barbashev took that deal with Vegas.

Team just won the Cup and he more than doubled his pay. Why leave and be greedy?

Hawks signed Perry 1 year $4mill . Hawks all about getting to the floor. They can sign me for the league minimum if they need to get to the floor still!

[FLPensFan]

Friedman says Jesper Fast is returning to Carolina. No deal details as of yet.

EDIT: Expected to be a 2 year deal at 2.4M AAV

I don't understand why they signed him at such a high price. The benefit to having Perry is that you can trade him to a team at the deadline. Even at 50%, 2M will be hard for a team that is cap maxed to afford. I would have sold it to Perry that way too. Saying, 'Hey, we want to give you a chance to win the cup if we are not in a position ourselves this season'.

Bruins are buying out Mike Reilly.
Detroit is buying out Kailer Yamamoto. Wanted to keep him but couldn't make numbers work.
Matt Duchene also being bought out by Nashville.
