Description

G - Driedger; LW - Saad; 3C - Bozak; 1RD - Barrie. Requires trading Koskinen - likely have to use a prospect like Bear to move that contract without retaining salary. Sign & protect Nuge and Barrie before exp draft. Protected List: McDavid, Draisaitl, Nuge, Puljujarvi, Yamo, Archibald, Kassian, Nurse, Klefbom, Barrie, Smith. Sign pending RFA's Yamo, Khaira, Benson, Shore. Sign pending UFA's Larsson, Smith, after exp draft before free agency. Sign UFAs Saad, Bozak, Driedger in free agency. Hide Turris in AHL to save $1.125M cap. Could easily replace G Driedger with Mrazek for about the same money.

Trades

Expansion Draft

SEA

Jones, Caleb

2021 7th round pick (NYI)

Additional Details:

Isles likely trade Varlamov and need a cheap backup for Sorokin

NYI

Stalock, Alex

EDM

2021 5th round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

Koskinen is an upgrade to Ducks current backups. Bear is a top 4 RD on a good salary. More than pays for the Koski salary.
This deal might also be executed with Seattle. Kraken take Koskinen for Oilers to expose Bear to draft. Bear played junior in Seattle.

I’d rather have Varlamov than Smith. If NYI are trading him, why not to the Oilers.

You are losing a fantastic asset for nothing, you can afford to buy out Koskinen

I agree, I posted another possibility with that trade... but Varlamov is $5M which means you probably can't afford both Saad and Nuge. Or you could let Barrie leave. Just leaves holes elsewhere.

You're gaining $4.5M in cap space for next year, which allows you to pay Brandon Saad to play with McDavid. I like Bear, but he's a second pairing D at best. Larsson is a better 2RD and Bouchard will be better than Bear at everything in a year or so.

1.5 for Koskinen and have to pay to replace Ethan Bear's minimal contract. Bad asset management.
