VAN 5th 2027

Av's needed a depth defenseman, I needed a depth....Swede?

Av's retain $150K, to get Holmstrom to the $800K limit.

Thank you for the deal sir.

We accept. Holmstrom can be an NHLer but he never got an extended chance in the show, and in the AHL he was surpassed by younger prospects needing development time. Kanzig is extra insurance in case of two D injuries, and he can play the same role next year.
