Perhaps but I only see rebuildingish teams willing to take on an injured RFA. Maybe a trade down scenario where we see a lot of cap out and maybe a player coming back.
Connor Murphy/Ethan Bear swap plus 19th for 11 plus a couple cap dumps from our wingers/Myers.
Murphy on a pretty killer deal for the next 3 years for what he brings and is still 30 till 2024 late in the season right before playoff time. We’d get him in the rest of his prime.
We get a bunch of cap and a top 4 RH Defensive D on a good contract for 3 seasons. Still hate to see 11th drop to 19th so IDK. I prefer more younger NHLers.
