Forget Trochek, Barkov, and Kadri (via trade anyway). Don't see them moving as good teams don't trade good players with term. You try to sign them UFA and pay a ton cap-wise.
Probably the same for Nugent-Hopkins, Hertl, and Lindholm. Doubt they'd be available (assuming N-H wants to stay in Edmonton and win).
A Philly-NYR deal would just be gross. I know it's a business but still...
Monahan would cost a good bit in assets but could be a good target. But I'd say Danault is the guy you want. Not a 1C but a nice 2C option behind Zibanejad. Also wouldn't be surprised if he does test UFA so it could br a fix now for nothing but money.
