Description

I definitely expect Granlund to get moved, but wanted to try putting together a team where he is kept. If he is going to have any success, Granlund needs to play top 6. Rust is a better 2-way player and could anchor a 3rd line, balance out the scoring.

I don't do this often, but I actually like that Hanifin trade. I don't think you can bring Zucker back though. The team has to change and get younger and signing him is the complete opposite of that.

He's washed, hiding him on the 4th line is the best option (other than a buyout)

Could easily see Bunting taking Zucker's spot for sure.

I hope not. I feel he is going to be way over paid and not live up to the contract.
