-Lajoie and Abruzzese are basically depth players at this point in their careers, so this trade is pretty much Tanev with full retention for a 1st and a 4th. The 4th covers the retention, but I would assume that the Flames are going to try and get more than a 1st for a guy who's a solid two-way defender and can be retained down to an affordable level.
-Wild easily pass. Maroon is scoring at a 40+ point pace on an $800K cap hit, if they want to move him they will have people lined up around the block to pay up for his production and for his 3 Cup rings. Bogosian might not be the player he once was, but he's also got a ring and is the type of playoff player GMs love. Both of them are retainable down to basically nothing, and I think that a pair of 5ths doesn't come near their value.
