Just going to focus on the first trade...
I feel like Columbus would put some thought into it, but the question there needs to be "Is it easier to fix the whole at C or RD?". Like, JT Miller is excellent...Definitely won't argue with you there. But, the opportunity to pick Nemec, and then package their other pick to make a move there might make more sense. I mean, if I'm Columbus, I'm probably taking a long, hard look at overpaying a guy like Kadri, and hoping that he bridges the gap to Sillinger.
It's not a bad idea, I just don't think I'd do it.
The rest of 'em?
-I don't know how I'd feel about moving a 2nd for Pearson. I guess if it was late it wouldn't be the worst idea. I'd probably shop the UFA market first though.
-I *think* if you expect anything back from Myers, you're retaining $1.5 ish mil. Otherwise, I can't see anyone jumping at taking that contract on for free.
-I see no issue finding someone to give up a 3rd for Schenn.
-Probably looking at a pick over a prospect like Korczak from Vegas, but they're crazy people so who knows.
-Poolman is a dump, IMO. Gotta pay to dump. Lots of similar not-so-great contracts out there, or, you can find the same guy for cheaper as a UFA.
-Arizona confidently says "no take-backs on the original deal!"
