I'm not sure the our chances are less than last year. The West is weaker this year.
I think the issue is with finding someone for Laine. Little has been very good this year.
Calgary confirmed they were out earlier. Price too high for them.
We're not signing Stone because we won't have the big bucks available. Unless they can a hometown discount and that's not happening.
I'm not sure why we would move an experienced defender that can play big minutes??
Good trade for the Jets. Hayes makes the Jets better up the middle. Very skilled playmaker and goal scorer.

And, after they lose in the first or second round, they lose Duchene, Panarin, Dzingle, and Bobrovsky in the offseason, for nothing, and have no picks for the next couple of years.
Foucault is probably on a cheaper contract now then what he could get on the open market. Although, if he's released, it might set off a chain reaction.
For the right price in a trade, I would certainly be interested.
I don't think they stand pat but the Caps did last year.
I could see them saying the price it too high and getting a vet with leadership instead. Someone who can come in and out of the line-up.
From the article...
Mike Reilly, Bo Levi Mitchell, Trevor Harris and Zach Collaros headed an elite class in 2019 as all four made it to free agency.
One of these things ain't like the other.
Dunk looking for those Rider clicks.
Depending on the contract situations and bonuses, a team could get a real steal here. I bet Hervey has some suitors. I'm thinking the Riders would have interest in Elimimian and Foucault.
I assumed Elimimian's deal included a big bonus that's already been paid?
If so, a trade could work out well for a team close to the cap. But, how does it save BC?
If no big bonus, why not?
