Description

NYI take the last wildcard spot from the lackluster Capitals

Move 1. FIRE LAV. Hire a coach the utilizes young talent. Don’t bench McM for 2 lesser talents

Move 2. Change the core. NB is now our 3c. Slow but can be a solid 200ft player. Trade Eller. Trade Carlson. Find a #1 goalie trade V V and Sammy. Start fresh.

Move 3. Lappy McMAlexeyev all in the lineup

Trades

WSH

2022 1st round pick (FLA)

Additional Details:

Whatever 1st is the latest FLA / Vegas

BUF

Additional Details:

VV = 2nd
Eller = 3rd
TVR = 3rd / 4th

Package them all for a late 1st.

VV will be a great 1a/1b
Eller will be a great vet bottom 6 center /mentor for the younger players
TVR solid cheap RSD to replace Miller.

Eller / TVR can be deadline bait if Buffalo isn’t a playoff team

WSH

Zacha, Pavel [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

Seems like NJD fans agree this is a fair trade

NJD

Samsonov, Ilya [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

Zacha is a young player with solid upside. Sammy is a good 1b goalie

WSH

Ellis, Ryan

Additional Details:

Philly seems to love defensive liabilities with offensive upside. Perfect

PHI

Carlson, John

Additional Details:

Ellis is a solid Dman and will pair perfectly with Orlov

WSH

Walker, Sean

I dont see Buffalo moving a 1st for that. They have so much Cap space, keep the first and can sign players with similar production as those 3.

That’s fair. I see Buffalo gaining a lot from Eller + V V cap hit will be low and he can play at a high level. He has solid numbers. UFA vets cost more generally imo

I like Ellers, but as you said 3rd round value. I would be all about moving a 3rd for Eller, and signing a Vet UFA goalie to split with UPL next year.

Edit: and they need a better RHD next year for the 2nd pairing than TVR
