Description

I tried to makes the trades/signings somewhat reasonable, but you guys can judge for yourselves.

The Dunn trade was suggested by some Blues fans after the Krug signing.

With Miller, from my view the Canucks could use another RHD. I'm not sure how the cap works on their end, Nucks fans will have to tell me if that works.

It has been rumored that the Sabres and Jackets have had discussions on a goalie trade. I'm not totally sure why Columbus would be looking to move a goalie, but I'm working off that rumor. A 2nd seems like decent value, and could be ammo to use to bolster their wings.

Olofsson is a moderately long-term deal at a decent price. Ullmark gets a copy of what Georgiev recently got. And Reinhart gets a 1 year deal and an opportunity to prove that he can drive his own line away from Eichel.

Roast away!

Yeah, Columbus was asking for a top 6 wing in return for a goalie... buffalo isn’t doing that and a 2nd isn’t going to get Columbus to move a goalie. We have no reason to move one.

CBJ is looking to contend this year so I highly doubt this is the trade they are seeking. Probably want a top six forward in exchange.

Blues probably not interested in that. CM seems like a bust

Not bad. I think Columbus would be looking for an immediate impact forward in return. Maybe Tage and a pick for Korp would be better? I don't want Reinhart to get 1 year, 2 years at least otherwise we gotta sign him, Dahlin, and Joki the following year
