Anaheim was forced to protect Bieksa, he has a NMC which I guess he wouldn’t waive.

Randall here's my Risto proposal Risto + 2019 3rd to EDM for Klefbom, #10, and Yamamoto then Nylander and #10 to CAR for Pesce and a 2019 4th Beaulieu for Orpik and Grubauer's rights Scandella - Pesce Klefbom - Dahlin McCabe - Bogosian Orpik - Nelson Guhle is 1st call up as we all know Bogo won't play more than 40 games anyway. Is Pesce any good? I know you love Slavin but I can't see them trading him and he's a lefty too.

I just don't see the value in trading one of the few RHDs who shoots right for another left LHD. without us also getting Yamamoto and 10. Otherwise all we are doing is downgrading our production, upping D play, but leaving us with only the often injured Bogosian and young Nelson as a rightys

The bare minimum for Risto to EDM for me would be Yamamoto, Klefbom, and #10 for Risto and our 4th. The biggest problem wit trading Risto is the lack of grit and ice munching we'd have on the back end.

And again, if he trades Risto; Botterill better get a king's ransom and then some. Not prospects or picks but Taylor Hall-esc, so not RNH.

I don't see that, he'd be rather dumb to do so and I just don't see Botts being that stupid barring Chia handing over the equivalent of his 1st born

I'm not trading any of our core unless the trade makes us blatantly better. I'm not trading Risto for anything short of Draisital on EDM. I'm not taking pieces or cap dumps or picks, they either give us a player of similar importance or I'm keeping our young defenseman. I know you dislike Risto, but that doesn't mean we need to trade him.

Throws lower....

Unless we trade 32 for a young NHL player, I'm not trading it. I wonder if they'd be interested in Nylander for Skinner in some manner.

I want Vanek back for a year. He may not be real speedy but the guy can still score. I’d just put him on the 3rd line with Middelstadt and the 2nd PP

Even if he's Eichel we seem slated to get the McDavid of the draft.....

Buffalo broke Rinne in our 2nd game against Nashville; remember he hadn't been pulled for almost a year and a half until that game. In the playoffs he was pulled 5 or 6 times. :)

As good as Holtby might be he’s not worth a recent Top 10 1st rounder and the 32nd Pick to me.

No problem, I had thought on a similar train of thought in order to acquire Grubauer

I mentioned this idea about 2 weeks ago :)

Hasek, I grew up watching him steal games in the late 90's Drury/Briere Loved both of them as this two headed beast who destroyed all in their wake

The problem is there aren't many wingers out there...... either they'd require to many assets or they are one dimensional. I liked my McCabe for Yamamoto deal seeing as I could really see Edmonton biting on that and he's a solid winger prospect. Vanek is a 1 year guy who has spurts of speed and still scores Wilson is a solid bottom 6 winger ERod I really want to see with Eichel as for RW Okposo should bounce back this year to some degree Reinhart (2nd Half) would be our best winger Baptiste, speedy who has scoring potential Pominville & Hendricks, vet presence who sit on the bottom line or in the suites Bailey, extra fast guy

To be honest while Seabrook is cooked, I think Keith may still have a little left in the tank due to how he plays the game. Place him next to Dahlin and I'd bet he'll look like he did a couple years ago. Not to mention his resume is worth the contract, 2 Norris, a Conn Smythe and 3 Cups where he had an instrumental part of winning them. He's reliable health wise and aside from this year he was still a solid Dman. And this year he was playing the Ristolainen role on a defense that has been stripped of most of its overall talent. What about https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/679026

Would any of you be interested in Nylander McCabe Fasching 2019 2nd 2018 4th For Duncan Keith Vinny Hinostroza

Because it is both unrealistic and idiotic to attempt and completely wipe this team down to the studs without making us wait 4 more years

Finally I can stop carrying this damn torch

Here's another idea I tried to find a nice mix of vets and speed, and as for the high cap dumps 2019 Contracts that end of not: Pominville 5.6mil Orpik 5.5mil Moulson 5mil (Granted 1mil was saved during the season) Hagelin 4 mil Vanek 3.25mil Kruger 3.08mil (Granted 1mil was saved during the season) Hendricks 2mil I'm attempting to maximize our cap space while we have the opportunity to use it to gain further assets.

Nelson is technically a UFA

I would trade Beaulieu and Antipin (rights) and buyout Bogosian

The cap will be at 80mil And based off this other team I made earlier we'd still have 10 mil in cap space. Remember we shed Gorges contract and a Bogosian buyout would give us nearly 3.5 mil. Plus I'm ridding us of Beaulieu Orpik's is 5.5mil x 1 year
