Exactly. They pay 25% of Savard’s salary for a 4th round pick. Seems kinda ridiculous and kind of like Stevie Y did his old boss a favor.

Definitely seems to be the case. Creative, but a little sketchy and it it sets a precedent the league might change the rules in the future. maybe. 

Tampa definitely a contender again if they weren't already. 

Columbus looks like they are going to go rebuild so Torts might be available season end after all.

It doesn’t set a precedent. Sounds like the Leafs paid a similar amount for a 5th last year.

I thought the cba had a rule about salary retention and roster time limits.

For some reason I am thinking the player had to be on the opening day roster to retain salary. Was that a previous cba? Or am I misremembering it for some other oddball rule?

They love Johansson so much that they acquired another goalie to bump him to 3rd on their depth chart.

Their #1 is one of the most injury prone goalies in hockey.

I love ***** like Detroit did in the Savard deal.  Got a 4th round pick for a quarter of his salary.  I wish the Sabres were more creative and were involved in deals like this.

Maybe they are.  (Doubt it, but it is possible.)  They'll keep 1/2 of Hall's salary, but nobody else they likely will ship out has a deal breaking salary.  But they can still retain salary 1 more time at present.  They have the flexibility to be creative.

Players can be acquired at the deadline whether you're contending for a cup or not.

I'm hoping the Sabres are trying to do some of that.

Ok.  So how many teams are left on Hall?  If the number drops to 1, that kind of hurts negotiating leverage doesn’t it.

There's 3 teams in on hall

(1) If Dreger is correct.

(2) Unless Toronto was one of those 3.  Then there are 2.

I doubt 2 because Dreger would have known Toronto was out at that point.

I’ve gotten slightly weary of Dreger, because it seems like he regurgitates info with an agenda fed to him a by agents and such little too often.  That could absolutely just be me though.
