Description
Let's face it St Louis did us a huge favor but we are a long way from a cup team. We are stuck with Carter so have to improve wings.
Ottawa needs a goalie after losing forsberg. Getting a cheap veteran also let's them trade Talbot if they can.
Detroit has been looking to dump vrana. And this is cheaper than buying him out. He's perfect risk for pens to take to improve forward depth and get a lil younger. Dumo gives them vet depth with playoff experience. We also take nedeljkovic who could use a change of scenery being banished in the minors and better upside than desmith
Pay Chicago to take mcginn. Ottawa paid a 2nd and 4th to dump zaitsev and he makes 2 mil more Mcginn so feel the price is about right.
Getting barbashev would be nice and should be resigned. Might need to add a mid lvl prospect or improve the 6thpick to 4th.

I thought about puljujarvi from Edmonton as well. Rfa and could do well here.

    If we are making 2 bottom 6 additions, I would like at least one of them to be a C.
    I think you need at least a 2nd to move McGinn.
    Dont really see the need to swap DeSmith for Nedeljkovic.. not much of an upgrade.

    Detroit passes, We're not retaining on Vrana. The deal will be a bad contract for a bad contract type scenario.

    Either retain or are gonna buy him out. Retaining is cheaper and the wings would be trading 2 bad contracts they buried in the minors all season for draft picks and veteran d. Not sure how they pass when likely they'll end up getting nothing

    You are probably right which is why I said you could add a mid-level prospect and increase the pick level but I don't see how they're getting a first for him.
