Description

Apparently Roy isn't available this summer unless for a super overpayment, which is fair. So in a quest for minute-eating defensive RHD, we look to Chicago.

The deal is based off: https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/3158553

JVR wheeling and dealing might be off. But I still think TK is undervalued and would be an excellent upgrade to our wings.

Samuelsson-Dahlin is a little unorthodox, but I think it could be very effective. Samuelsson can shut down and play anchor, but his puck skills and passing is underrated and he can be a good foil to Dahlin's passing plays. Rasmus played RHD in Sweden, so I think he'll be fine making the switch.

Trades

BUF

Murphy, Connor
2022 3rd round pick (VGK)

CHI

Johnson, Ryan [Reserve List]
2022 1st round pick (FLA)

BUF

Additional Details:

PHI gets a slight downgrade from TK -> VO, but also cap space to go after FA targets like Forsberg or Klingberg.

PHI

Olofsson, Victor [RFA Rights]
2022 3rd round pick (VGK)

BUF

Kassian, Zack
2023 1st round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

EDM basically upgrades Kassian to JVR--similar cap hits with retention factored in. Also get out of Kassian's extra year so a Bouchard extension is more flexible.

Maybe, kinda tough because we just extended murph to a pretty reasonable deal. If he's moved he should get more than what Chariot got as a rental
