The Fact Anaheim is on Faulks no trade list but Winnipeg isn't.. That's a sign of a good Minnesota boy. Is he ideal? No. Is he better than everyone on the team except Buff and Morrissey? Yup. 

Speaking of Minnesota, with our current D situation I'd take Matt Dumba off their hands. 🙂

Friedman says Jets have interest in signing Ben Hutton... Interesting part is Hutton signed with LA. Swing and a miss again For Friedman

He said they HAD interest. From 31 Thoughts: 

1. Winnipeg had interest in Ben Hutton, but had to wait until things settled before formalizing anything. Hutton had to get started, and the Kings were ready.

Another it looks like another chip has fallen with Bolts' Brayden Point signing a 3-year bridge with a $6.75M AAV.

Makes me wonder what effect this has, if any, on both Laine and Rantanen.

Laine for Rantanen :D

Good deal for TB though. Bad in that he's UFA after it's over. Another 26yr old UFA 😡

According to Cap Friendly, he would still be RFA at the conclusion of this deal. The$9 million salary in year 3 though means a minimum qualifying offer of just under$10 million. If TB doesn't offer that then he would become aUFA.

No wonder the nhlpa doesn’t want to open this deal up early ha...  they’ve outwitted the owners again

They haven't outwitted the owners, the size of the pie is exactly the same! Owners don't care how that pie is sliced. 

Owners thought RFA would slow down salary escalation - it has instead sped it up

league will need to increase salary cap in a major way or maybe they really don’t care - could be ha

Salary cap is tied to revenues. The owners have a cap to protect themselves. The RFA was set for older players to protect themselves against the younger ones. The younger ones have gamed the system. 

This is player-vs-player. The owners don't care. The only costs they're incurring are the upfront, bonuses, which I'm sure will be cut down during the next CBA negotiations.

The Carolina Hurricanes have traded defenceman Justin Faulk to the St. Louis Blues.

The Hurricanes have also sent a 2020 fifth-round pick to St. Louis. In exchange, St. Louis is sending defenceman Joel Edmundson, forward prospect Dominik Bokk and a 2021 seventh-round pick to Carolina.

I think some of the owners care a fair bit about massive signing bonuses for relatively unproven players... and about having to buy out older players to afford their own RFAs... not the original plan at all
