Rust declines lol. Jets don't need lhd so poj swap with pickering as he's not nhl ready which is better than poj who wouldn't have a spot

I don't think Rust waves for a Canadian team, and specifically one possibly facing a rebuild?

Also think that's overpay for 1 year of a goalie, even if it's Hellebuyck.

Yeahh.. dont think ARZ is interested in taking all that cap.
I also doubt Rust waives to go to Canada and dont think Pens would retain.
I think a sandpaper type player like Wood, a 3c like Haula and a top dman (I would prefer Graves over Gavrikov) are nice additions.

Hard to see Rust waiving to go anywhere other than a true contender in the States.
