Description

Buffalo is a sinking ship and will be looking for assets. Hall is better than he's shown and needs to be on a team that is driving for something. He also needs a good end to the season to prove he deserves big bucks next year. Eakin would be an upgrade to the Pens depth.
Nashville might not make the playoffs. Haula adds speed and would improve 3rd line center spot. Granland could play wing on any line and center if need be.
I don't think the deals are far off. Might need to give a bit more in draft picks but not bad.
When healthy, this would be a hell of a lineup.

I would rather give Zucker than mccann, I love mccann he has such a good shot and is less expensive. Giving Zucker up will give us some cap space to work with.

I like the opening line 'Buffalo will be looking for assets' so lets offer them none...

NSH declines. Not interested in taking McCann, and the rest of the return is less than whelming.

Yes, Buffalo would be looking for assets. While they could use Pettersson, he might just be expansion draft bait. Truthfully they would have more interest in McCann than the third and fourth line plugs you’re offering.
