Tuesday’s news proved that business never sleeps in the NHL, even during the dog days of summer. Recent reports that the St. Louis Blues are attempting to sign Edmonton Oilers’ RFAs Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway to offer sheets have likely woken other teams up to the reality that their own restricted free agents could be at risk. No more is that the case than in Boston, where goaltender Jeremy Swayman remains unsigned.

Finding surplus value from players on entry-level contracts (ELCs) is crucial for efficiently using a limited resource while building a roster in the NHL’s salary cap era. The league’s salary cap rose by $4.5 million from the 2023-24 season (the first time since before the 2018-19 campaign), but uncovering value in free agency and from prospects remains a key objective for Stanley Cup contenders like the Colorado Avalanche.

Talented young defenceman Mason Lohrei was very effective in a top four role with the Bruins last season. Lohrei contributed as a reliable puck-carrying defenceman in Boston’s lineup. He earned a spot with the team for half of the regular season games and most of the playoffs. During his time with Boston, he was capable of earning minutes on the teams’ powerplay. As well as in their overtime lineup. He also played 21 games for the Providence Bruins. The 23-year-old prospect hopes to earn back his top four role with Boston next season. The expectation is to develop parts of his game that need to be improved. Lohrei possesses strong upper-body strength. However, he needs to improve on gaining speed and lateral movement in the offensive and defensive zones. With left-handed defenceman Matt Grzelcyk signing in Pittsburgh, a spot in Boston’s defensive core seems pretty secure for the young defencemen.

There is no clear outline of how the Edmonton Oilers will approach the offer sheets signed by forward Dylan Holloway and defenseman Philip Broberg earlier this week. Still, some pundits in the media are already theorizing about their futures in St. Louis. Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal reported earlier today that if Broberg were to become a player for the Blues organization eventually, he would supplant Scott Perunovich on the second pairing and play next to Justin Faulk.

Kris Letang, a three-time Stanley Cup champion and alternate captain for the Pittsburgh Penguins, reportedly expressed interest in being traded to the Montreal Canadiens. According to radio host Mark Madden, while there were discussions regarding Letang's move to Montreal, no action was taken. Letang, who has roots in Montreal and played junior hockey there, is seen as a potential fit but raises concerns about the Canadiens' crowded defense. General Manager Kent Hughes prioritized developing young talent over trading for a veteran defenseman like Letang. At 37, acquiring Letang could hinder the progress of emerging prospects.

Goaltending is often described as one of the most personal positions in hockey. Each goalie brings their unique style, mentality, and approach to the ice. This individuality can make rivalries between goalies particularly intense, as seen in the case of former Maple Leafs’ goalie Ilya Samsonov and ex-Bruins netminder Linus Ullmark.
