Trades

CBJ

Cirelli, Anthony [RFA Rights]

TBL

Tampa is going to be cap strapped and with the other offensive weapons Cirelli could be solid offersheet candidate as Tampa will look to keep Carnak and Sergachev.

Offersheet 6.0x3 (1st and 3rd round picks)

CBJ

Haula- UFA

FLA

One of the few possible top 6 centers in free agency. Haula could help the PP and come in a a 2nd line center, putting him with Nyquist and Atkinson could help him find his offensive game again.

CBJ

Johnson, Tyler

TBL

Johnson is a versatile forward who seems to be on the outs due to cap space, he could be acquired cheaply if he decides to waive his NTC.

CBJ

Stastny, Paul

VGK

Stastny has been demoted to the 3rd line in the playoffs and with Lehner getting what looks to be a decent extension Stastny could be made available for a pretty low price

CBJ

Stepan, Derek

ARI

Arizona wants to keep Hall, if they are to do that they will need cap space, they also seem to want to get younger. This might be a trade of Wennberg for Stephen might happen as both players seem to need a change.

Agree on all but Stepan, honestly. And you've ranked them in my order of preference. HOWEVER.

To bring in any of them other than Haula (who'd likely cost less), you're looking at moving out Wennberg and at least one of Savard/Murray, and probably Jenner too just to clear the cap room for the new additions as well as extensions for PLD and Gavrikov. If we're going to offer-sheet Cirelli, it needs to be for more than three years to justify losing those picks; I wouldn't offer anything under five years, maybe even six.

If you're looking for a 2C that won't break the bank, can I interest you in the very fine Adam Henrique? A man who put up a reasonable amount of points, has outstanding possession numbers, and can slide up and down the lineup as required. Also has an affordable cap hit.

Could look something like:
Ana: Henrique
CLB: Wennberg+Nuti+2nd

Downgrade that 2nd (which we don't have till 22 anyway) to a 3rd or 4th and I'd love to make that move.

Hmmm...would you do Bemstrom instead of the pick?

I wouldn't, personally. I'm a big believer in Bemstrom's future and think the Jackets got a steal in him.
