Description
I think they need to make legitimate changes to shake up the chemistry of the room. The complacency just seems wild. I know the season has been realistically lost for a couple weeks now but they could have pushed for mathematic life if nothing else. The Granato extension means he's gonna be back IMHO. The whole staff should be switch outside of that though. Some of my favourite blast from the past names:
Lindy Ruff to be either a Senior Advisor or an Associate Coach depending on how hands on DTD he wants to be. Terry won't give up the control required to have a PoHO until they have to promote Kevyn so they can promote Karmanos to GM.
Vaclav Varada as an Assistant Coach. Three time coach of the year and champion coach in Czechia.

Trades
1.
BUF
  1. Severson, Damon
Additional Details:
This is assuming that the two players will waive their NTC/NMC.
I could see Severson being willing as the Sabres are a bit better of a team and there's the promise of playing in a Top4 with Dahlin, Power, and Byram for the foreseeable future.
Skinner is a bit trickier, but Columbus isn't all that much farther from home for him, (6 hour drive instead of 3 hours) anyone who has experienced the GTA will tell you that Buffalo-Toronto-Buffalo is still not something you wanna do in a day so you might as well stay over lol. He also still will have elite talent to play with (Fantilli and this year's 1st).
CBJ
  1. Krebs, Peyton [RFA Rights]
  2. Skinner, Jeff
  3. 2024 2nd round pick (BUF)
Additional Details:
Opens up space for Mateychuk/Jiricek/Boqvist in CBJ lineup and if Krebs isn't a good fit he has enough value that they can bounce him along and get a different piece.
2.

  1. Rossi, Marco

It's an interesting offer for Necas, but it would still need something like Peterka to make this work. Joki doesn't hold a lot of value, and while the 10th OA pick is nice, it's just not enough for a 65-70 point winger

I wouldn't trade Peterka for Necas straight up.

I'd consider this for Columbus, Severson's deal already isn't aging well. But...teams don't trade guys one year into an 8 year deal. I think he and Skinner both say no.

That's certainly a take. If Peterka isn't on the table, you're not getting Necas
