Will Borgen is in the rumour mill and is a RFA.

Conor Geekie didn't perform to the expected level yet and needs more development and is signed for 918k over the next two years
To Vancouver: Will Borgen, Morgan Geekie
To Seattle: Conor Garland
Vancouver picks up a young RH defensemen that plays the body and is more of a stay at home. Morgan Geekie is a project that could turn into something. He played 3rd line minutes but was never really impactful. However at 24 years old he could still become a big bodied 3rd line centre with some coaching
So currently Nashville has Foote, Fabbro, Carrier and Lauzon who has played the right side this year at times. With the addition of Livingstone that is a lot of men on the right side for Nashville and does it make one of these defensemen available?
LAUZON
At this point I think I would rather keep Bo Horvat over JT Miller and trade Miller to LA who could use a 2nd line centre to allow them to move Danault to their 3rd line:
To LA: JT Miller and Danila Klimovich
To Vancouver: Sean Walker, Helge Grans and Alex Turcotte
They did add Ty Nelson in the draft but I think you are right that Tyler Myers would look good on the right side and they do have the cap space to add him.
Will Borgen represents and intriguing option for a potential RH Dman target that we may be able to buy low. He is 6’3 205lbs defensive minded with a mean streak that is just breaking into the NHL. Seattle currently has a wealth of defensemen with upcoming prospects like Cale Fleury so it may not cost as much to pry him away from Seattle. Seattle may covet some experienced wingers like Tanner Pearson to go along with their young centres. So a trade may look something like:
To Vancouver: Will Borgen, 3rd Round Pick
To Seattle: Tanner Pearson
Maybe do a little homework first before replying. Bailey is bigger, stronger, faster, scored more points in Utica and was a 2nd round draft pick. It’s okay for people to be upset at us losing a prospect but I disagree that he is NHL ready.
