Smart Team Adds

Player with 22 games of playoff experience. A 57.9% faceoff percentage this season (53.7% career). Can kill penalties too. Has some term at a reasonable AAV for a 3rd/4th line player.

Low chance of Johnson signing in Buffalo which is a bummer, he's such a great skater and will be a very solid 2nd or 3rd pairing defenseman. I would highly guess he'd sign in SJS as it is very close to home for him and they do not have a logjam on the blueline. If he doesn't however, they get a 2nd round pick in compensation

Jeannot has struggled offensively this season, not sure that Nashville would move him. Nevertheless, he fills a need we have on the Sabres for a physical winger

Asplund and Jeannot are the same age, Asplund has developed into a dependable and speedy bottom 6 producer who is great on the defensive side of the game. Cederqvist is a prospect with good potential due to his size and shot combination

Murphy on a good value contract for 3 additional seasons. Chicago would move him for the right price imo. Murphy would accept the trade, its closer to home and he would be playing with a much better team and be paired with up-and-coming OP

Chicago receives a solid college goalie prospect who would likely sign as Chicago has a need in goal and Portillo could be ready for NHL duties next season.

Hinostroza is a familiar face, Chicago could flip him at the TDL or they could resign him if they so choose. Hino is 50% retained so that he is easily flippable, and if Chicago retains 50% when they move him he only counts for 425k towards the cap. Philly 2nd is likely near the beginning of the 2nd round

Good skating LHD with size, upgrade over Bryson.

Mitts can be a top 9 forward for Calgary, Sutter won't like the way he currently plays but maybe he can turn him into a better player. Calgary has the cap space for this move although I'd be willing to retain on Mitts if a pick came back to Buffalo
