One way contracts only means the player gets the same salary in both the NHL and AHL. It has no impact on waivers, strickly pay.

That’s right. I forgot that.

If you’re asking for his list a few days early, and you’re meeting with him to discuss his future, the writing is on the wall, no?

I’m thinking they actually have or feel like they’re going to find a suitor for him. 
 

I would agree with you Richie. All the signs point to that

[siddious]

Don’t toy with me drury. 
 

I haven’t wanted to get rid of a defenseman this bad since redden 

[RJWantsTheCup]

Chytil and Trouba to San Jose for Will Smith.  
Kakko and #30 to move up as far in the draft as possible.  
Sign Atkinson cheap and Kane.  
Sign a 3rd pair right D for half Trouba’s money or less.

There’s a better chance @Ozzy suits up and plays on the right of Kreider and Zibanejad next year, than San Jose taking that deal

I’m sure San Jose is on Trouba’s non trade list too.  I did read San Jose has shown interest in Trouba.  Ozzy played center.  

[Ozzy]

It's a good thing I don't play with Zibby!  When we got to the bench I'd fucking harass the shit out of him for passing up chances I created for him!

Man, if Drury can get rid of both Goodrow's and Trouba's contracts without having to give up a ton, automatic GM of the year for me. lol Goodrow was his own mistake (the contract), but Trouba was even worse and a huge albatross. Gorton should have gotten fired for that trade and contract alone. So, if they can be done with that, and free up a lot of money, just awesome.

[Ozzy]

  .....just waiting....patiently (well, maybe not THAT patiently....) but waiting.....

[Sharpshooter]

This weekend and leading into Monday should be fun. I'm getting antsy and the offseason just started. lol

That’s not gonna happen lol

Lots of noise coming out of Chicago about making a splash to improve next season.

 

Obviously Trouba doesn't make a big splash but if he is to right of Igor?  Now that's a splash.

If I were Chicago… Trouba would actually interest me.

 

Yeah, it’s a lot of money for what he is, but that doesn’t matter much to them over the next 2 seasons. They have plenty of cap space, and a D corps that’s gonna have a lot of young bodies moving through there over the next 2 years.

 

He has value under those circumstances.

I don't think they're trying to win the race next season.  I think they're trying to play respectably and take some of the attention off of Bedard.

They’re trying to get better. Build a culture and teach their kids how to be NHL players 

 

Hey guess who’s helped do that once before?

They have the #2 pick.  That's definitely openers.

 

Igor, Trouba, Kakko to Chicago with no retention for the #2.
