What trade activity is expected in the next week and how might it impact NHL teams?

Bob Stauffer 1:34

You know what? This is th this is gonna be I think the next week and a half. So what's today? Today's Tuesday. I'm gonna say between now and July the third, which is Thursday night, because I think by July fourth you'll see some of the teams wind it down. I think it's gonna be wild over the next ten days, my man. I know you've talked to several of the agents. That's what Are you kinda hearing the same thing?

Hart Levine 1:57

Seems like it, yeah. I mean you've got a combination of lot like the cap's gone up now f f really the for the first time uh meaningful amounts. You've got teams that actually have space and you have a lot of teams that are trying to get better and do something. Um so that should all lead to a lot of action. The the one caveat is like and as a lot of people have talked about, there's not a lot of sellers. So what does that mean, um, for the market? And you might not see as many just like, you know, pure cap dumps or prospects or players, but maybe that means there's more like real hockey trades, you know, forwards for D, D for forwards, that kind of thing. So yeah, it should be pre uh action pack time.

Bob Stauffer 2:33

I'll tell you what I wonder and I because I took a look at the trade that Chicago made for Borokovsky, I'm wondering if there's teams that already know that they're not going to be a list places for free agents for the ones they like to get. You know what I'm saying? And I wonder whether or not that is gonna play a factor where you will see like Seattle dump that contract to Chicago, you know? I know a lot of people have talked about Ardudson and potentially Cain are there f situational fits. Brian Lawton was just on and he thinks that Arvidsen would be fine playing for a contract on one year at four million bucks. Evander Kane and you know, Brian thought there'd be multiple suitors for him if the orders elected to go.

Bob Stauffer 3:16

And sometimes the teams that players of that ilk end up going to are teams that, you know, maybe maybe they were good two years ago, maybe they're not quite as good now. Maybe they've they've had a changeover in management or coaching. What do you think of that? That that we've already sort of 'cause I n I know you're not supposed to collude and you're not supposed to uh tamper. But we all know certain management teams know where I mean the oil's knew where they stood with the A list uh free agents before they got dry settled in McDavid and back to Back years, right?

How are the Oilers positioned for trades and player moves this summer?

Bob Stauffer 3:48

That's why they had to overpay for the likes of Mark Fain and Benoit Pouliot, or perhaps over term as much as they overpaid. Give me your thoughts on that.

Hart Levine 3:57

Yeah, I think you're right.
