[CH1]

I get the sense HuGo aren’t done, major move coming

I have no doubt HuGo is chasing a bigger fish....but it takes 2 to tango

Kreider and Marchenko instead of Bolduc and Dach make us a better team.

Make it so.

A lot rides on Dobes maintaining form.

next year....when lots of money comes off the books. More than $17M freed up by Gallagher retention/Josh/Dano/ and Monty alone

But add in the Demidov and dobes money and then the future 2C money

Rather not have 3m on next year's cap

I'm confident that Fowler can pick up any slack... And even your buddy Monty could rebound

Fowler will assume the mantle…

I’m not so sure about that. Not this year anyway.

Well, shit.

Gallagher’s buy out basically covers his bonus hit in 27-28, no?

Walked him to UFA?

Looks like it.

We have 13 forwards with everyone signed.

Forward group is getting crowded with Arber maybe playing forward + Flo and Beck knocking on the door.

Good deal.

Something has to give.

Might not be a huge move, but that’s untenable.
