Description
Just trying to look at different trade scenarios. I’ve been seeing a ton of Tarasenko so I figured I try looking for alternative target.

Not sure what Vegas has planned this off season or if they’re looking for a bit of a shakeup but I have to believe they will do something. I really like Marchessault and see him as a great fit for Boston now and in the long term. He’s younger and has a good contract compared to a lot of other trade targets. Not sure if Vegas would look to move him but if they want to sign Martinez and keep both Fluery/ Lehner then he maybe out or Smith. I know Pacioretty name has been floated a few times but can’t see him being moved. Tuch would be another interesting target but he’s a nice fit there. As for the trade I was working with the framework of Marchessault and Holden for DeBrusk/ Clifton/ Beecher(more maybe needed). Holden’s cap hit may just be a bit too much for Vegas and Boston has some knowledge of him so I included him in the deal. DeBrusk would help replace the loss of Marchessault and has a lower cap hit (currently). Clifton is a younger right side dmen that has another year with a good cap hit and plays a style that would fit well in Vegas. Beecher is a sweetener that also helps Vegas keep their prospects pool filled.

My thoughts behind the trade with the Avs: watching them against Vegas their defence seemed to be missing some size. The Avs have a lot of skilled smaller guy that mostly play on the left side. Carlo seems like a nice fit and it’s his hometown. Boston gets two players that I think have been a bit buried in the Avs system and I think they could be nice options. I’m not trying to run Carlo out but look at different options.

The Seattle trade is probably wishful thinking. I just really hope Lauzon isn’t taken as I still have big hope for him. And Moore just needs a new start. Boston wouldn’t mind losing his contract either.

As for some of the signing:
- I didn’t resign Reilly because I just wasn’t a huge fan of his game. I also think the contract he’ll be looking for will be higher than I would be comfortable going.
- Hall/ Rask/ Krejci are pretty standard. Their cap hits may need some adjusting but I think they are reasonable for this scenario.
- montour is another player I really like because he has some offensive upside. If you can add him and Graves to the lineup then I have no problem moving Carlo. But he maybe looking at a lot larger deal. He’s probably the biggest fish after Hamilton.
- Coleman is an interesting player. I wasn’t going to add him to this ACGM but there was a ton of cap space left over so I threw him in. The depth upfront would be really attractive lol
- Raanta is a bit of a placeholder. I do like him but not sure what he’s contract demands are going to be. Boston needs a goalie to mentor Swayon/ Vlader till Rask is healthy. It could be Raanta or another goalie that fits the role (ie: short term/ lower cap hit)
