We can use this thread to discuss strategy and trade offers. Feel free to let me know what you think of the roster/lineup and what areas you think we should address. You have free reign to enter trade negotiations and I'll give the ok if all looks good.
Sounds good! Just is there positions in particular you think we're in need of?
I think help on the wings (right in particular) and maybe a 3C upgrade. I'm looking into the cost of moving Okposo's contract but not sure if the cost of doing so will make it more worthwhile to keep him on the 3rd pairing. He has a NMC that kicks in next year.
Lars Eller has been offered as a 3C upgrade but the price was 3 prospects and a 4th rounder which seemed excessive for a rental.
We can take on some salary and then move Bogosian to LTIR as he's out again. That will give us some flexibility cap wise.

Thoughts on:
Vermette for a 2018 7th rd pick + 2019 5th rd pick (1.75m cap hit to play bottom 6 LW. 8G/8A this year). He's UFA after this year
Eller for Evan Rodrigues + 2018 4th rd pick + another prospect TBD (3.5m cap hit to play 3C. 9G/12A this year). He's UFA after this year
Carolina is interested in Girgensons if we want to move him and recoup a pick or prospect
Offer on the table for Ryan O'Reilly that has Nolan Patrick, Rubtsov a pick + some cap coming back. It's a decent package but kind of in the opposite direction of where we're heading. Let me know what you think
