Off Season

I think the Jets are probably keeping Stanley now.

I like Perfetti A LOT, but only players I'd trade Pulock for on this team for is Connor, Viladri or Ehlers, don't want Poink

Yes...but if you can change him into a similar player but RD, I think they would do it

I dont think the Sabres will prioritize a move like this but I could easily see them doing it too.

I honestly don't hate this trade. Pulock is basically RD2 now with Dobson being a guy I can see getting a handful of Norris votes this year; if we can swap him out for a young, top-6 forward like Perfetti while also getting someone to backfill RD2 for a year, I think it's a good deal. I'd think about swapping Nate Schmidt instead of Pionk, for two reasons: first, hoping that it makes it appetizing enough to Winnipeg to drop the 3rd from the Isles side; second, I think Schmidt replicates what the Isles would be losing with Pulock better than Pionk does. But that's a minor quibble at this point.
