That's a great PSA for all general managers out there in advance of the draft because we always speculate on big trades and making this move and jumping up, and then everyone just goes and makes their pick.

And we say, okay, we're not going to be fooled next year.

We're just going to assume that everybody makes their pick, and we get lulled back into trade fantasy.

But the thing about this summer is, and we're already starting to see it, like, look, Nashville got together with Colorado, right?

So Chris McFarlane gets back with his old boss, Joe Sackick, and they make a deal yesterday for Ross Colton.

So it does.

And then there was a Flyers deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Like it feels like we are headed in here now.

There's more cap space to a summer where we will see trades and we might even see offer sheets as well.

What do you make of this summer?

How would you characterize what you think is going to happen?

I think because there's no free agents available, there's one or two, Alex Tuck and maybe one or two others.

Darren Radish.

Darren Radish.

They're going to be grossly overpaid wherever they go.

I think the best way to make a deal now is to trade.

You've got salary cap space.

If you can make more, great.

But I think your best bet is going to be offer sheets and trades.

I was ready to make one in Toronto.
