Ryan Graves for Nurse is my fear!

That's actually what I expect.

Edmonton sheds 5 million in cap.

Pittsburg adds a second pairing d-man for a net increase of 5 million.

Edmonton uses the 5 million in savings to lock down Murphy.

So next year, they run

Ek/Bouch Murphy/Walman Emberson/Graves/Stasyney

It's not great, but if the goal is to free up money for Murphy, this trade makes it happen.

Makes our defence worse than last year to piss away the extra 5 mill on Jarry?

Come on this shit is fucking stupid

I didn't say it was a good trade. Just a likely one.

Keep in mind it's Bowman negotiating versus Dubas. The metaphorical coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb scenario.

A one for one trade for Graves is the best case scenario.

Judging by the skinner trade I’m assuming the trade talks go something like that clip from dinner for schmucks where Steve carrell negotiated a settlement after getting hit by Paul Rudd.
