Mmm maybe. But it would be better if you kept Kap.

I don't know why we should trade blugs. Blues will not take Kasperi. I like Jesse would do it like you. The sharks will not trade Leblanc for McGinn and I can't understand why you trade Rutta.

But I am completely on your side that we need a new third line.

Don't know why Buffalo would do that trade, and give up a pick to do it.

No thanks from Vancouver, they're already paying Poolman 2.5M for the same role. Rutta's cap hit vs. play level isn't worth 32 spots in the middle of the draft and he'll only be worse when in Vancouver's system.
