Really like that Nashville deal. It address what I see as an organizational need in the Music City - another legot top 4 defender, and Marcus gives them line up flexibility for the year. It's a smart hockey deal for both sides. Just wondering if you don't add Pilut (he surely makes that team as a bottom pairing D), for a little more window dressing.
I do feel you come up short on the Columbus trade. Andersson had a terrible year, but I think most would agree he is worth more than a prospect that can't seem to put it togther and a mid round pick. My hunch is the Jackets may listen if you said Asplund.....
Signings are brilliant! Talbot has officially played himself out of Calgary ($$$), and Edmundson is a great stay at home D that brings a little edge.
With $4 million in cap, I would frankly look at upgrading Mittlestadt/Cozens on the third line. I debate if Cozens is ready this year (that is a debate) and Mitts didn't put it together in Rochester which makes playing him dicey. Someone like a Pitlick could be a under the radar pick up while leaving cap space.
Overall, this is pretty solid.
