ARI

Harris, Jordan

Additional Details:

They have a ridiculous amount of second round picks so swapping one for Harris who has second pair upside isn't a bad idea imo

MTL

Sillinger, Cole [RFA Rights]

CBJ

Barron, Justin
2024 1st round pick (WPG)
2025 4th round pick (DET)

Additional Details:

Sillinger nor Barron have spots in their team's future (most likely), so they get swapped to find a place in said future. Sillinger > Barron so Habs add the Jets 1st and a 4th

MTL

Weegar, MacKenzie

Additional Details:

Matheson-Andersson
Kylington-Miromanov
Okhotiuk-Pachal

CGY

Matheson, Michael
2025 2nd round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

I do wonder about a swap like this. Matheson and Weegar are both the same age, Matheson plays LD which the Flames lack, Weegar plays RD which the Habs lack. Weegar is probably better tho so the Habs would add, question is how much?
Also there's no issue of a logjam for the Flames, all their up and coming defensemen aren't something super special so they can be packaged and traded if need be

I’ve never really thought about weegar or a similar swap but it would certainly solve a lot of our problems. I think I’d try to get Johnson over Sillinger though and I definitely think it’s possible especially with a new GM coming into Columbus.

What gives you the idea that Sillinger does not have a place in the CBJ's future? They don't even have a GM right now so who knows what their future is? I'd have a hard time believing any team wouldn't have a spot in their lineup for the kind of player Sillinger is developing into though.

LOL extreme lowball offer for Weegar.

Matheson is a better offensive player and Weegar is probably a better defensive player. Flames have Andersson as their two way presence and Matheson should mesh well with him on the first pair plus I'm not too sure about the difference in value between the two
