Description

- Wings get their RH 1a/b C in Scheifele and can extend him
- Wings need some more RH scoring options (Konecny)
- Talbot comes in the spell Husso and bridge till Cossa is ready - signs lower due to injuries over the last couple of years
- Myers ($6M), Perron ($4.75M) & Vrana retention ($2.625M) come off the books after next year and basically offsets Seider ($7M increase) and Raymond ($6M increase)
- Schmidt adds some much more needed offense from the back end while being able to actually play D - WPG needs some salary relief to make other moves
- Lots of staggering ending contracts (1,2,3 year deals) provide balance for incoming top prospects Edvisson, Kasper, Cossa, Mazur, Wallinder

LA wouldn't trade Grans alone for that return.

Sean Walker for the rights to Buium and the Vancouver third is probably okay. Grans is on his ELC and in his second season at Ontario, and Durzi is a top-4 defenseman; I seriously doubt that we would entertain trading Grans for that package and I know we wouldn't trade Durzi for it.

What you think Scheifele is worth? He has 1 year left on his deal. No way is he worth (2) 1sts

Walker is not worth a 3rd AND a prospect (Buium 36 in '21) taken basically the same pick as Grans (35th in '20) - they are the same. It's basically flipping Walker for a 3rd which is fair.
