Description

I think Mackey is an answer to their 3LD. They need to act on it.
I'd like to see TVR and Dadonov. I think both would be nice fits here.
This allows Poulin and Legare to develop.
Hallander could spend most the year in WB.
The OC would probably make the jump onto the 3rd line. If not McCann on LW Blueger at C and ARod at 4C.

Trades

PIT

2020 3rd round pick (OTT)

Additional Details:

Ottawa kind of guy. 1 year left on his deal.
Might spend a lot of it on LTIR.
If not plays center which Ottawa needs.
Helps to get to the cap floor without carrying a cap hit forward.

OTT

Bjugstad, Nick

PIT

2020 4th round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

We can only hope a team who needs defense is willing to ask for a body.
Last year we dumped 2 in Maatta and Gudbransson.
To think we could dump one this year isn't hard to imagine.
Could be any number of teams. But Detroit has glaring holes in it's defense every year. Lots of guys are old, make of glass, and/or aren't ready to be NHL caliber defensemen. JJ can help fill a spot there.

Really like the team. Don't know much about Mackey, but if it is similar to a Marino situation I'm all for it. The only issue is I doubt you'd get Murray and Dadanov on that cheap of contracts. Would likely not get a fourth for JJ, at best a 7th. Think Dadanov gets closer to 6 and Murray around 5 which would still fit under the cap so I could see it and would love it if it actually happened.

The thing with Dadonov is he's 31. He won't get term and big money. So his price will be down.
No one is going to risk paying him 6 million a year on a 4-5 year deal. He's on the down side of his career and any big money contract on him will be considered buyer be ware.
I gave him lower money and less term because I think that is really more realistic on what will be available. People will spend the bigger money on younger players in 27-28 year range.

Just think he will get a better offer elsewhere as a 70 point scorer and 25+ goal scorer.
