Description

Edmonton trade from
https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/2693664

Arizona trade is a placeholder, these are the main pieces and the only NHL pieces, subject to balancers with picks/prospects. If you say no or pass, you didn't read the description or ignored it for some reason. If you don't like the player, just say that please. If you have an idea for balancers, post it, I haven't even tried to decide on balancers yet, or even which way. Middle6 centre for a middle pair defender, age differences, experience differences, I haven't really gone into it enough to figure the balancers, but the main pieces work, IMO.

Palmieri got the Dadonov contract, but is a year younger at signing than Dadonov was.

Prospects transitioning in during 21/22;
Pinto will replace Tierney (who should get traded)
Sokolov will bump Kelly
Lavoie will bump Watson
JBD will bump JBrown (who might get traded)
Sanderson will bump Holden (who might get traded)

Mete is gonna play. Idk which of MDZ/Holden/Brown sits (definitely not the one they just signed 2×2), but Mete will be a regular. For what it's worth, Garrioch mentioned in his article about the signing that the expectation is that he will play top 4. Now that sounds crazy to me, but Garrioch wouldn't write that if he didn't have some inclination that would be the case.

Also I'm sure I've made my opinions about trading Connor Brown abundantly clear, but I really don't understand why, if Ottawa were to make a move like that why they wouldn't parlay that return into a bigger move. Lavoie could be a useful middle six guy in the future I suppose, but if Ottawa were to happen upon a shiny new 1st round pick, it seems like it makes a lot of sense to package it in an Eichel type move. Being able to get eichel and keep their own 1st would be huge W, given how hard pressed Ottawa will be to make the playoffs this year, especially if Eichel misses time.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure Palmeri has a deal done with New York. Supposedly Lou is being Lou and holding off his signings so other teams Don't know what kind of cap space they're working with.
