Colorado lacked any depth beyond their top line, so Kadri is a huge upgrade there, while they have a bunch of cheap incoming high end pieces on the back end that make Barrie more expendable. I think everyone assumed he was getting moved even before they drafted byram, just like there was that assumption with varlamov.

Makar/byram/timmons/girard. A lot of offense on that backend.

Can’t wait to cook the goat

what NHL team do you cheer for?

Clearly the reason Colorado made that deal is contracts

Carolina matches the offer sheet on Aho...not a big surprise.

Wasn't even a question of if, more so of when. Bargain bin Bergevin strikes again.

Ben Chiarot signs 3.5m x 3
At first I was like what
But then I look at his past couple years and he's a pretty legit late bloomer. Good for him for advancing his hockey career to the next level.
I remember playing hot potato with KapG when Chiarot was a nobody/AHL callup... sigh should've been patient

I traded chariot to kapg.

I'm surprised ben hutton hasn't signed

2 years x 1.65m aav for cedric paquette

Really happy with this. He was a top 50 fantrax centerman last season.

Never change, Matthew.

I won't change either, Lee

2020 1st CAR + 2021 1st CAR for Pacquette!!

You've changed, kim. A new guy.

Looks like Paul did in an ehrhoff deal?

To CAR:

Christian Ehrhoff

To NYR:

Shawn Matthias
Colby Robak
Ben Chiarot

Ehrhoff was pretty good at the time in H2H too

Scott Harrington signs 1.63M x 3 years. Solid very happy. I knew he's worth at least a 1st rd pick here

Back issues caused Stars center Martin Hanzal to miss all but seven games last season. Those may be the last games he winds up playing in Dallas as Mike Heika notes on the Stars’ team website that Hanzal, who is now in the final year of his contract, is unlikely to play at all in 2019-20 and that he’ll spend the entire year on injured reserve.

Apparently Kari blocked a deal to the flames earlier this off season:

Kadri
Connor Brown

For

Brodie
Jankowski

Not sure of the contracts involved but I think I like the two deals they ended up making better.

Kevin Labanc signs 1 year x 1 million

Steal

Beat you, Kevin Labanc resigned for 1 million/1 year. WTF???!!!!

He must have been promised minimum 5-6 mil next offseason (when they have more room), which is fine but how is NHLPA allowing this? I don't get it, this is mind numbingly dumb

Great 1 year deal, probably a monster deal if he "proves it" and scores 60+. Next year could be expensive.
But yeah, nhlpa should be questioning it. He could have probably gotten 6 years x 4.5m+...or at least 1 year. X 4m
