Description

Before you come after me, the link provided will show why this could be an option... But of course, this is all reliant on OEL being willing to waive his NMC, which is highly unlikely. Luckily, in ACGM, I don't need to contact OEL!

Thanks for listening.

2024 4th round pick (CBJ)

Additional Details:

CBJ is looking for a top-4 dman, and they had a plan to pick up McDonagh off of waivers at the start of the season if he declined to be traded by Tampa Bay.

OEL makes 500k more than McDonagh, and is under for contract for one more year, but this may just be the only option aside from drafting for a team that is notoriously known for struggling to attract free agents. OEL has provided more offense throughout his career compared to McDonagh, which could be a factor.

Like I said in description, OEL 99% would not waive his NMC for this, but maybe if it is sold in the right way, he would.

If not OEL, you'd wonder if CBJ would be interested in Myers instead.

CBJ

Ekman-Larsson, Oliver

Additional Details:

Vancouver gets out of Benning's final mistake in the best way possible, unscathed.

Of course, this still leaves a gaping hole on LD, which is what I try to fix in other moves!

The pick acquired could be literally nothing but future considerations and still be considered a win.
