Would we move Miller and Mitty for a goalie?

Yep but we'd have to dispose of hutton somehow?

Miller, Mitts and Hutton

for Kuemper and Kessel or Schmaltz

Arizona has a mandate to trim $15m and this trade would trim 3.5 if kessel is included and 2.5 if schmaltz is

If we get Toffoli and Hall then dear lord then we really improved our top 6. Yet I'd still like a guy who can split time with Ullmark.

I think Larsson to Eakin is a massive downgrade 

Really?  Eakin had a down year but has a 40 point season recently.  Larsson never gets 20 points.  You can argue Larsson is the better defensive forward, I would argue he was one of the main penalty killers on a historically bad PK unit

We been talking about this possibility all day on another site (think Ek). We’ve been tracking pegulas jet from hall’s home town in Canada to buffalo, etc. he loved playing for Ralph and that’s got to be a big part of it along with playing with Captain Jack
