Ok. Some basic frameworks here that might make sense.
Trade #1 With Nashville:
Chabot
Phaneuf (pending league approval)
Bowers
Batherson
2019 2nd
2018 3rd
+ ?
for
Roman Josi
Trade #2 with Boston
Logan Brown + ?
for
Torey Krug
Trade #3 with Minny
Andrew Hammond
Taylor Pyatt
Filip Chlapik
for
Marcus Foligno
Andrei Svetlavok
+ ? (try for a 2018 3rd which Minnesota has 3 of)
Cap implications: We'd have an even $3m of cap space remaining as this brings in $12,125,000 and moves out $9,450,000
Potential Lineup:
Hoffman - Turris - Stone
Dzingel - Brassard - Ryan
Smith - Pageau - Burrows
Foligno - Thompson - Mitchell
Josi - Karlsson
Krug - Ceci
Oduya - Wideman
Anderson
Condon
-----------
Notes:
We lose 2 of top 3 prospects in Chabot and Brown and a 2nd round pick in 2019 (assuming we can acquire a 3rd in the minny deal then the 3rds cancel out)
We gain legit #1 and #2 LD and shed a huge contract in Phaneuf while upgrading and getting younger at left wing for the bottom six.
