Description

I basically made this one under the assumption there will be no AHL season, and a lot of teams will work with internal caps.
This is the year I buy out Okposo. The trade for a player like Ehlers who is the best player in the deal might be lob sided. I would add our 2nd round pick if needed. But I do feel Ristolainen would replace the hole Byfuglien left when it comes to playing tough on the back end also Asplund is a decent prospect that might crack the line up this year but is a bottom six c/lw by 2021-2022. The Arizona trade I made only with the assumption they want to shed salaray according to rumours. Montour will ask for 4 mill , casey might crack their line up as 3C if lucky, but might need another season in minors. Hutton gives them a seasoned and cheaper back to Kuemper.

Trades

BUF

ARI

Hutton, Carter
Mittelstadt, Casey [RFA Rights]
Montour, Brandon [RFA Rights]
2020 4th round pick (BUF)

Additional Details:

Hjalmarsson can support Dhalin on our top pair, op play LHD next to Joker. Raanta can become our #1 goalie and add some stability in the net. Garland I want added because its a capdump for Arizona. In return they get Casey mittelstadt and brandon montour. Casey might seem like a project, but if he breaks out this year he is a middle six center.

BUF

Ehlers, Nikolaj

WPG

Additional Details:

Willing to add our 2nd round pick to this trade if needed. Asplund is a bottom six player by 2021-2022 most likely.
