Description

These trades are simply what I think would be a great turnout for CBJ at the trade deadline.

Players like Laine, Nyquist (I.e. someone who isn’t an expiring UFA) could also occur around the draft.

Looking for constructive feedback, not ****posting. Thanks!

Trades

CBJ

Poulin, Samuel
Zucker, Jason
2022 1st round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

I see Poulin often as PIT’s Top Prospect. Considering their system isn’t that deep, and Poulin can be kept in the AHL for another year or two to develop, I prefer him to POJ. Plus, CBJ don’t really need more LD prospects.

PIT

Domi, Max ($2,650,000 retained)
2022 4th round pick (TOR)

Additional Details:

PIT gets a T6 F with a lot of grit, who would likely do well alongside Crosby/ Malkin. Zucker gets moved off the books, and CBJ roll the dice in him rebounding and being flipped.

CBJ

Holtz, Alexander
2023 1st round pick (NJD)

Additional Details:

1st Rd pick is lottery protected. If not, slides to unprotected in 2024.

NJD

Additional Details:

I’ve seen some interest in Laine from a few NJ ACGM’s on this board. I feel like with Hischier and Hughes now being price-locked in long term, NJ would be in a good place to sign him for a few years. Laine could thrive alongside Hughes, a caliber-player Laine does not have in CBJ.

Foudy is a young, speedy F who has gotten lost in the shuffle for roster space with CBJ. He’s got 1st Rd pedigree, and has played well in the AHL, so could see him becoming a contributing M6 guy. I’d also considering swapping him for Bemstrom, if there is particular interest there.

CBJ

Koskinen, Mikko
2022 2nd round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

Korpi gets moved, alongside Kukan. Both guys have been overtaken on the roster by now, and likely don’t have a future with CBJ. A 1st is likely too rich.

EDM

Korpisalo, Joonas ($1,400,000 retained)
Kukan, Dean ($800,000 retained)

Additional Details:

I know, EDM fans. Korpi is the worst G ever and EDM would never do this. I see this trade happening too much to not think there is some fire to that smoke. At worst, EDM gets to shed salary/ cut payroll to allow for other TDL moves. Kukan gets thrown in as every playoff-hopeful’s most needed asset - D depth. He’s a steady guy who can chip in offensively on the 3rd pair. Would also consider replacing him with Carlsson, if you prefer someone younger and with a bit more control.

CBJ

2022 2nd round pick (BOS)
2023 2nd round pick (BOS)

Additional Details:

I’ve done some research, and a lot of journalists seem to point to BOS needing depth scoring. Gus is a great M6 option, a guy who, after a slow start to the season, has been on a tear lately.

BOS

Nyquist, Gustav ($2,000,000 retained)
2023 3rd round pick (CBJ)

Additional Details:

The exact retention figure could change, but CBJ move Gus to open up roster spots, and also to give him a run at a cup.

CBJ pick up a 2nd, and a pick swap as a result.

I get it. The reason I went to this is that for all the ****ting on Laine I’ve seen, a few NJ ACGM’s have actually put together trades for him that I was interested in.

Foudy is honestly a throw-in. He could be replaced with Bemstrom. Both are players who I think haven’t been given a good shake with CBJ due to roster spots/injuries/ Torts, and have run out of time to be waivers exempt. IMO, give them a good chance to turn into something with another organization.

Of course. It’s “ideal,” not “realistic.”

Then again, I can’t predict ****. We got 1sts out of the shell of Nick Foligno and David Savard last year, so who knows 🤷‍♂️
