Description
If the cost of trading for a 2C like Domi or Monahan is as high as CF users seem to believe it to be, I think the Jackets are better served retooling a bit, making nice with Josh Anderson, and securing some pieces and picks for the future while shedding unnecessary assets and gaining flexibility for the trade deadline. Also assuming that they sign a bunch of two-way contracts to fill out Cleveland's roster.

Please let me know if any of this is way off.

BUF
  1. Kukan, Dean
  2. Wennberg, Alexander
Additional Details:
Allowing Buffalo to upgrade down the middle and giving them a solid and inexpensive D while taking back a couple of C prospects who don't seem to have a huge future with Buffalo.

CBJ
  1. 2020 7th round pick (DET)
Additional Details:
Any team will do here; picked Detroit because they may want to let Seider and McIsaac marinate longer in the minors.

CGY
  1. Kivlenieks, Matiss
  2. Nutivaara, Markus
Additional Details:
Nuti can play either side, and allows Treliving to have some flexibility in dealing with his UFA D situation while not blocking the future. Kivlenieks is a capable and cheap backup for Rittich (I'm assuming Calgary doesn't make a big move for a goalie in this scenario).

I think Buffalo declines Wennberg has a pretty high cap hit who doesn’t put up a lot of points.
And Mittlestadt isn’t the right player for Torts system he’s soft and doesn’t really like to backcheck or play any defense.

What would be the price for wennberg. Would they just give him away you think?

I’d rather see Robinson in the lineup rather than Nash.
