Namestnikov Smith and Strome to go

Dont retained on Namestnikov and receive a 4th instead.

Fair trades

Gotta pay DeAngelo more. Cap will be tight then with that and a 23 man roster

Yeah im a neighbour of Marc (probably one of his favorite) i can EASILY yell at him to do that trade . It's almost a done deal . Storm Twitter im facebook friend with at least 3 Marc Bergevin one of them MUST be the real one it's mathemathical !!
But they have to take Hudon or Peca back or Weise at 50% .
I hope Marc trade Drouin outta of mishearing my calls also .
Thank you Santa .
Namestnikov is a nice puppet to have on the 2nd line .

DeAngelo doesn't have arbitration rights and thus no leverage so I think he might actually get less, though anything in the 2 to 3 million range seems fair.
The way the market seems to be with so many teams close to the cap, I'm not sure they will return 3rds. But really, anything is fine. Neither is part of the future.

I have Strome getting a 3rd in the 2021 which isn't as deep and same value Vesey went for, which I think is fair but again I'd take a 4th to move him if necessary at this point. Both of these guys can play all 3 forward positions and can really play anywhere from 2nd line if needed to anywhere in the bottom 6, that is what makes them more valuable than most bottom 6 forwards. I have the Rangers retaining 1 million with Vlad to increase trade value, we will have to see what Gorton gets for these guys but needing to dump salary means he has to get what he can get.
