Description
I think having cozens on wing next year could benefit him a lot and take a lot of stress off him. Also I believe learning behind Stephan can only help his game.

I think we all know skinner needs Eichel to be elite scorer. So put them back together and have Anderson be the speedy grinder to get the puck out of corners.

The second line will be much improved and help take pressure off top line.

I think our defense was good last year so not much needed. I think we can fill last LhD with any cheap dman.

Goalie should be much better with healthy Ullmark but Raanta could be sneaky backup.

Additional Details:
Arizona save 4 million with this deal. Could add low end prospect but I don’t think it is need to get Raanta and how cap strapped Arizona will be.
ARI
  1. Hutton, Carter
  2. Johansson, Marcus
Additional Details:
The difference between Hutton and Stephan and Johansson should be enough for one year of Raanta. Just a big gamble because he is literally never healthy. But we only need him to be a #2

Arizona probably accepts, but we really really really don’t want Hutton. Johansson is overpriced, but likely worth it. On the other hand, Hutton would be redundant considering we have hill and kuemper.

I agree but for Sabre’s to take Stephan u need to take Hutton. I think u could easily flip him without having to give up anything. He is great locker room guy and Media. With his eye surgery I think he will much improved.

Pilut has no value to anyone as he’s already signed a 2 year contract in the KHL and could come back to NA as a UFA... Thompson isn’t getting you Anderson. Thompson is a bust at this point.
