Description
GMs often will help the other GMs that they have good relationships with and think highly of.

BIll Zito has spoken highly of Kyle Dubas in the past and are apparently pretty close. Zito is also from Pittsburgh.

Panthers are going to start the season without Montour or Ekblad, and reportedly missing them for at least half the year. (both RD).

Carlsson, Fitzgerald, Gudas and Staal are all UFAs. I can't see them bringing Staal back, maybe not Gudas either.

They're shopping Duclair.

This give them a veteran RD with retention, can also run the PP until Montour and Ekblad return.

I'd also consider a Rutta and a pick for Duclair. Salaries are near the same and Rutta can eat minutes during the season and be swapped at the deadline or kept.

Kekalainen is another GM that's spoke highly of Dubas. CBJ needs cap space and if they're still trying to land Lindholm, i wonder if Kekalainen moves Roslovic to Pittsburgh for the cheap. CBJ gives pittsburgh their needed 3C, Pittsburgh Gives CBJ needed cap space.

Another question is would Nashville take Granlund back? Obviously the penguins would have to pay but from Nashville's standpoint that'd be phenomenal asset mgmt by them. Got a 2nd at the deadline, he comes back, you get another 2nd + maybe a prospect or a 4th rd? It appears Nashville is full sending rebuild and giving younger guys opportunities. Would bring a veteran center back that has chemistry with Forsberg, knows the system and can mentor for two more years.

End result:

- Penguins add another winger, a 3C plus shed cap.
- CBJ free cap space for possible Lindholm trade
-Florida gets a Vet RD to fill void while Ekblad + Montour are on LTIR.

Yeah but wasn't Duchene also a locker room nightmare?? Trotz wants to establish a good culture in nashville, that's why he moved Johansen and bought out Duchene.
