My turn back the clock trade would’ve involved the Isles
In an effort to keep Tavares, or at least be competitive if he still decided to walk...
NyI gets- O’Reilly, Scandella (replace DeHaan), Lehner
BUF gets- picks 11 & 12, Nelson, Clutterbuck (cap dump)
At first... I’m not loving this trade at all
But once Wahlstrom & Dobson fall to us miraculously in the draft, I’m dancing on air
Dobson is a future top4 RH guy, maybe even top pair
Wahlstrom is a true sniper on the wing
And I’d still make the Skinner & Sheary trades
Sheary-Eichel-Okposo(~>Wahlstrom)
*get Okposo’s stats up enough to trade him
Skinner-Mittelstadt-Reinhart
Wilson-Nelson-Pominville
Bailey-Rodrigues-Baptiste
Clutterbuck
Girgensons
*kids coming up to take spots on lines 3&4
-Olofsson, Nylander, Asplund, Smith, O’Regan, Malone, Oglevie, Davidsson, etc etc
Dahlin-Ristolainen
Guhle-Bogosian (~>Dobson)
McCabe-Nelson
Pilut-Borgen
Hutton
Ullmark
Luukkonen
That’s a good looking future imo
And maybe we even get crazy & go after Stone or Karlsson at the deadline & sign one of them long term
Yeah, i know...
but a guy can dream, right?
