Description

Given Darren Dreger's comments about Josh Anderson hoping to sign long-term in Columbus, I took a swing at finding a way to still upgrade the team at the C position without giving up Korpisalo, and still managing the cap with raises for Anderson, Gavrikov and Dubois.

TRADE NOTES:

MON: Jenner would be a versatile piece with some sand for the Habs. He can play up the middle or on the wing, is one of the better faceoff guys in the league, and is good on the PK. Murray is fragile, but he's a great play-driving D on the left side (which I understand Montreal needs... Nutivaara could fit here instead).

CGY: Doesn't have to be the Flames, just please someone take Harrington far away from Columbus. I know there's a lot of turnover in the D corps for the Flames this offseason.

Not bad. Line-wise, I’d do a bit of shuffling - probably swap Atkinson and Nyquist, just because I think being on a line with two space creators would benefit Gus, and Cam’s never played the left side.

If the AHL is running, I’d probably put Nash in and send down Foudy, with the aim of telling him to go nuts on offence on the first line. Might do the same for Bemstrom - reassess them both around the middle of the season and bring them up to provide some jump in the second half.

I'm not sure having two fast guys like Cam and Domi works with Nyquist, who's definitely not the fleetest of skaters. He looked good with Foligno and Jenner in the playoffs. If Nash replaces Foudy and centers that line, I could see that being a favorite for Torts, even if it drove me nuts. But I'd be on board for sending down Foudy until he proves he's ready, then trade Nash at the deadline to open a spot for the kid.

Our left side isn’t as bad as a lot of people may think and we have some promising prospects coming up, I don’t see us moving Domi for an injury prone D even if he has good potential if he’s healthy. Jenner doesn’t have enough offensive upside and we have enough bottom 6 pieces. Makes more sense to keep Domi.

That's fair! I've just seen a lot of ACGMs with a trade around these parameters.

I mean I can see where you’re coming from but I really just see ya waiting it out a bit with our D situation. Kulak actually played well in the playoffs and we’re definitely banking on Romanov coming in this year and having an impact. Norlinder, Harris, Struble all are showing great signs of becoming NHL players. Our centre position is much better we really just need some top 6 wingers.
