Description

This one seems a bit far-fetched, but it was a fun one to make.

PHI trade: Barrie is probably a more attractive (and flip panel asset). Risto is a solid DFD to put next to Josi

Given the tier of prospect that Nikishin is... The Predators don't have an asset that they'd want bad enough to move him

That’s totally fair. Just doing a little experiment here. Only thing that I could say is that you’re in win now mode, and Saros takes you to the top right now. Nikishin does not.

I’m mad jealous of CAR though. They’re great, but still have an insane prospect pool and a lot of picks. Great organization they have over there
