Description

None of these trades seems unreasonable to me, but Colorado has the ability to sweeten them.

In my opinion, the resulting team is an improvement on the current team due to the upgrade at RW and in goal.

For 2021-2022, Landeskog gets Bellemare's money, Makar gets Bonino's and Cole's money, and Palmieri gets Calvert's money.

Protected in the expansion draft: Burakovsky, Kadri, MacKinnon, and three of Compher, Kamenev, Nichushkin and O'Connor; Girard, Johnson and Makar; and Lehner. Exempt: Bowers, Byram, Kaut and Timmins. UFAs: Landeskog and Palmieri.

Grubauer's worth more. Buffalo easily pays a 2nd for him without question.

That was my alternative choice, but I hate to take the 38th overall from them and they don't have a third. Plus there's the problem of explaining why Hutton won't be back, so I thought I'd keep it simple.

Well, that's a different matter. But I'm still not sure one year of Grubauer is worth that. My main purpose was to move Grubauer to make way for Lehner without getting a lot of flack from the destination team. I should probably take out the Colorado fifth.
