Description

I'd make these moves and see how the team looks. If they're firmly in a playoff spot by deadline then can be a buyer. If not then we can sell. I think after upgrading the bottom 6 and 3rd pair D we will truly know whether this team is a real contender. If not then we have to try and get draft capital at deadline and then rebuild in the offseason. I think that's fair.

Why would you pay assets for a guy that’s on waivers lol if you want retention on him just give the 4th and call it good

Dallas is a contender. Highly doubt they're willing to move those guys (particularly Hakkanpaa)
