    WSH
    1. Greiss, Thomas ($833,333 retained)
    Additional Details:
    Trade gives space to sign Calrson to long term deal without losing any core roster players for future. Receive Gresiss as a backup, allows Samsinov to get used to NA game in the AHL for a season.
    NYI
    1. Eller, Lars
    2. Orpik, Brooks
    3. 2018 3rd round pick (SJS)
    Additional Details:
    Rights to RFA Phillip Grubauer

    Trade gives NYI a solid 2-3 third line C. In the event that NYI don't sign Tavares, trade still gives them cap space to trade for a C like O'Reilly, Tyler Johnson etc. Would still have to move a piece or two (maybe a bailey), but could make it work. Take on Orpik Cap space for one season, provides them with experience and a mentor for a young D core. Also give NYI a potential solid starting goalie for the future, with not a lot of risk.

    No way they trade Eller after they just signed him to a 5 year deal. Also do't need Sustr, have Bowey.

    Dumping one year of Orpik won’t cost Eller, Grubauer and a third. That is absolutely nuts.

    Thanks for the response.

    You make a good point about WSH just re-signing Eller. I made the roster based on the approach that they wanted to resign Carlson. In order to sign him they would need to move some roster players to make some cap space for him. This trade is based off the idea that Eller would be the oldest and the easiest to lose, out of the core pieces they have for the future. In addition, Eller's value is at it's pinnacle right now because of the post season he has had. WSH would also have to move Grubauer because they couldn't afford to pay him more than 2,500,000, which is what they could get Greiss for. I know WSH probably wouldn't want to get rid of Eller, but they would need to give up someone in order to make cap room. What are your thoughts?

    And you're right about Bowey. I misread his AHL experience. I thought he only had one year in AHL. He would more than likely start the year and have a good chance of sticking for all 82 games next season. However, it might not be a bad idea to have Sustr on the roster if WSH can afford him. It's never a bad strategy to have extra experienced D on the roster.

    Thanks!
