To LA:
Dougie Hamilton ($2M retained)
To NYI:
Gustav Lindstrom
WSH 1 2025
LAK 3 2025
LA agrees. We have been looking for a top defenseman and Dougie Hamilton fits the bill. This comes with significant risk as we don't know his personality roll yet. However, defense is a difficult position to get top end talent, and we are comfortable with the Voracek + Lindstrom cost that this ended up being. We are sad to see Lindstrom leave, but his SK was a concern for us. Thanks for the patience with my cell service on vacation Lennart.

Losing a great player, but we had to make changes in the payroll and this solution was the least bad one. Despite the extremely poor SK stat Lindstrom had a pretty good year and we believe that he can continue to develop well in the new surrounding. The WSH 1st we expect to be a lottery pick that we could hold on to, or use as a valuable trade asset. Thx Cory!
