Ok..........just having fun here, so don't take it seriously

 

Trade #1.

 

OEL (2 million per retained) and Columbus's 2021-2nd

for

Myers, Eriksson, Roussel, 

 

Why does Arizona do this? To get out from under OEL's massive contract. Why pay us the 2nd? Because of OEL's massive contract. Why do we do it? Because we are clearing cap for the next moves.

 

Trade #2.

 

Jones and Tampa's 2021-1st

for

Hughes

 

Hughes is a Offensive specialist, but over all costs us more goals than he creates. Jones on the last year of his current contract will be looking for a raise. We can afford it.

 

Trade #3

 

Graves

for

Vancouver's 2021-3rd and Jasek

 

UFA signing

 

Hamilton at 7 years X 7.5 Million

 

UFA signing

 

Hamonic at 3 years X 2.5 Million

 

Yes, this is a massive payroll on defense, but a good one, and we will be able to manage it. We are bigger, we are much better.

 

OEL..............Jones

Graves..........Hamilton

Rathbone......Hamonic

Joulevi..........Woo

If New Jersey drafts Luke Hughes, then I’d be interested in circling back to that old Hughes-Smith/Zacha proposal that you came up with. Not saying I’d pull the trigger on such a deal but I’d be willing to see what NJ would be willling to offer.

Zacha could probably be had for a 2nd round pick at the moment. Ty Smith is a lesser version of Hughes with terrible defensive play. We shouldn't trade Quinn for those two ( I am guessing there was more in the trade from NJD).

 

I would be aiming for something like....

 

To VAN: Zacha + Wood + N Foote + K Bahl

To NJD: Hughes + Roussel

I’m wondering if both Ryan Murray and Sami Vatanen can be signed for cheap, given their injury histories?

 

Hughes-Vatanen

Murray-Hamonic

Rathbone-Myers

 

Isn’t the sexiest option in the world, but perhaps it’s the most cost effective?.........and workable?   A defense full of old smart vets?

Mike Reilly just had a decent season in Boston (LD, 27yr old) and Ceci looks like he's had a good one in Pittsburgh finally, they could be cheap 2-3M targets for us.

 

Hughes - Hamonic

Juolevi - Myers

Rathbone - Schmidt

Reilly

 

Reilly probably rotates with Juolevi and Rathbone throughout the season and whoever plays more consistently sticks but eventually the kids will take more time.

We should trade Schmidt for Myers.  One step back this year to take two steps forward next year.  

That one could be possible, although the flyers are looking for RHD as well, Schmidt did play that side for Vegas so could be done.

 

would give us a sizeable, young, RHD who is okay defensively, however he was expected to have a breakout season after promising play last season and he has slumped so his stock is low, so it might not even take Schmidt.

 

if we got in early before FA, potentially something like Juo, rights to Rafferty, and a 3rd, with something else coming back their way as well. 
 

the issue is though I don’t see us being that great trading partners as we are both looking to get RHD, both looking to size up on the back end as well so if anything we are likely to be competing for the same players and of really have what each other needs.

 

 

if we could get Myers and/or Stanley this season would be good. Yes the D may take a shelling next season as it will be steep learning but we would have a D corp that would then age with the forwards, and should only get better over the years and be cost controlled rather than a ready made expensive D now
