I always look forward ro the 1st few weeks after the Cup is decided. Buyouts, RFA qualifiers, trades leading up to or at the draft, the draft itself, and then free agent signings. Interesting times ahead for a lot of teams as they reshape their rosters.

Absolutely. This year seems to have teams really wanting a big change. NYR fans unhappy, Toronto looking to move part of the core 4, Ottawa, CBJ and keep going. Feels like near everyone either has to move out money or wants to shift gears. Feels like a big offseason

Not sure what Saad's ask is, but he's 31 and really only has a couple good seasons left, most-likely. It just feels like this is going to end up as a bit of a transition year; more kids getting spots, fewer vets, & couple of buy-outs in prep for the run into the SCPO and back to HockeyTown, the Team That Gordie Built....we are *this* close..... I LOVE this time of year!!!!!

Yeah, St Louis has that issue with most of the guys they want to move

No clue what they want for Saad or any of the players they’re making available. Most have to sign off on their NMC - correction, NTC per a welcome drop in/correction. Definitely love hockey Christmas in July!

Saad is 31 with a perfect 2 years remaining at 4.5. He can play either wing effectively. He is sound defensively and a really good penalty killer. 20-25 goals a year what more can you want for 4.5. I don’t think he will be dealt it’s just Armstrong putting out there like Bushnevich at the trade deadline. See if he gets overwhelmed with an offer. I believe he has a NTC NOT a NMC !

You are right on the NTC, I mistyped, will correct. I don’t know the extent of the “shakeup” in STL. Some of these balloons just get floated to pass the time in the “dog days”. Any time I see STL potential movement, I just click to a phone call with Yzerman. Seems to like talking to the offices. I do think the blue line is a more legitimate place for a shakeup but same issue on those clauses. Good drop in. Wouldn’t mind Saad, but not sure what his motivation would be or what the ask is.

From an STL perspective, where do you float to in terms of “can we move this player” in terms of a remake?

NTC and NMC are the same when it comes to a trade.

I recently applied an article about user flow in UX to optimize processes in my business. After studying the principles of building effective user flows, I improved the navigation on our website, which led to more intuitive interactions for customers. We analyzed the current user paths, identified bottlenecks, and implemented improvements, simplifying and speeding up access to key features. The results are already noticeable: conversion has increased and the bounce rate has decreased.
