-Expose Myers, call Seattle and add a reasonable pick if necessary to get rid of him.
-Make a move like the Leddy/Graves deals to bring in a solid defender for a 2nd and a B tier prospect.
-Trade Miller for the long term D piece we need that is more in line with our core group's age.
-There is the option to move up in the draft and grab one of the young D we need as well if necessary.
-Getting Myers money off the books gives us the ability to upgrade the defense at a lower price in the free agent market. We could bring back Hamonic or grab a Larsson, Savard, Martinez type and a depth piece on the cheap like Oleksiak, Cole, Nemeth, or Ceci.
The final part is Nate Schmidt. I am 100% against selling low on him, but I am 100% for moving him. We have Hughes and Rathbone, so we don't need another player like that, but I am confident with an actual NHL calibre defense coach his value will be much higher a couple months into the season. I would move him then for a nice package to fill holes for now, the future and recoup picks.
