dinner!
I am just glad we finally decided to sell, hope we aren't done. Would love to possibly move Granlund, Fabbro and Lankinen as well. Granlund will be almost impossible move I'm afraid though.

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Brock McGinn and defenseman Mark Friedman cleared waivers on Wednesday.
McGinn has two years remaining on his contract with a cap hit of $2.75 million. The 29-year-old has 10 goals and 15 points in 59 games this season.
Friedman is signed through 2023-24 at a cap hit of $775,000. The 27-year-old cleared waivers in October. He has one goal in 11 NHL games this season.
Should McGinn and Friedman be assigned to the AHL, the Penguins would free up $1.9 million in cap space.
Pittsburgh placed Kasperi Kapanen on waivers Sunday. The St. Louis Blues claimed the 26-year-old and his $3.2-million cap hit Monday.

Do the Coyotes ever want to be a competitive hockey team or they just good with consistently tanking?
Probably want to keep their arena ”sold out”

TRADE ALERT 
The Vancouver Canucks have found their right-handed defenseman.
The Detroit Red Wings traded blue-liner Filip Hronek and a 2023 fourth-round pick to the Canucks for a conditional 2023 first-round pick and a 2023 second-round pick, the teams announced Wednesday.
The conditional 2023 first-round pick in the deal originally belonged to the New York Islanders but was sent to Vancouver in the Bo Horvat trade. It's top-12 protected, so the Red Wings will receive the Islanders' unprotected 2024 first-round pick if it falls in the top 12 this year.
Hronek is in the midst of a breakout year, recording 38 points in 60 games while averaging 21:32 per contest. The 25-year-old is under contract through 2023-24 with a $4.4-million cap hit and will be a restricted free agent upon the completion of the deal.
His underlying numbers this season have been outstanding at five-on-five, on the power play, and on the penalty kill.
Evolving-Hockey
The Canucks have long been searching for a top-four-caliber right-handed defenseman. Hronek immediately jumps to the top of Vancouver's depth chart at that position, and it's possible he'll play on the top pair with franchise tentpole Quinn Hughes. The team's other right-shooting defensemen are Ethan Bear, Tyler Myers, Kyle Burroughs, and Noah Juulsen.
Vancouver has a better chance of winning the draft lottery (7%) than making the playoffs (0%) this year, according to MoneyPuck, but this trade fills a key need moving forward. Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford has been on record saying he wants to retool the team rather than undertake a full-on rebuild.
The Red Wings' playoff hopes for this season (2.8%) took a hit following a recent two-game sweep at the hands of the Ottawa Senators.

The only Cap I really like. Glad to see him going to a team I don’t completely hate.TRADE ALERT
The Colorado Avalanche have acquired forward Lars Eller from the Washington Capitals in exchange for a 2025 2nd round pick.
Washington retains 31% of Ellers salary and cap.
