underrated Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Here's my thoughts on the off-season. EXPANSION DRAFT Offer a 4th round pick to Vegas (maybe a 3rd) for them to not select Sbisa. Since they have lots of other options on defense around the league, and Sbisa isn't young or high end, they'll likely take the draft pick and another player. TANEV TRADE We all seem to agree it's best to cash out high on Tanev rather than keep him through the rebuild. Buffalo is ready to take the next step, and have tons of good young forwards but need an anchor on D. Trade Tanev (maybe with a draft pick) to Buffalo for Sam Reinhardt then draft a defenseman (Cale Maker) at #5 EDLER TRADE After the expansion draft. Tampa Bay needs quality veteran defenseman, and need to cap dump badly. Trade Edler and Baerstchi to Tampa Bay for Drouin, 1st round pick #14 overall, Callahan (cap dump, but also good player and good locker room leader when healthy), Garrison (cap dump). This deal gives them a top defenseman, a quality young forward to replace Drouin in the lineup and over 10 million dollars of wasted cap hit off the books, replaced with 6.8 million of cap hit of valuable players. ISLANDERS TRADE The Islanders need to shake up their roster. They need to be more competitive right away in order to keep Tavares with them. Trade Sutter, Gudbransson to the New York Islanders for Thomas Hickey, Jaroslav Halak (cap dump), 1st round pick #15 overall. They add a quality veteran forward and defensemen. They can afford to lose Hickey with Gudbransson coming in plus their defensive depth. They use the cap space from Halak towards Sutter as well as extra to sign a FA. POTENTIAL DRAFT PICK TRADES Offer New Jersey and Philly a deal of picks #14 and #15 overall for #1 or #2 overall for Patrick or Hischier. If they don't take it, then select best players available at #14 & #15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As nice as it would be to acquire all those picks and young players it would leave our Defense crippled for years . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldoescobar Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 The Tanev and Elder trades are absolute fleecings of both Buffalo and Tampa Bay and would never happen and the NYI trade also heavily favors Vancouver. If it were this easy these trades all would have been done by now imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
