Calgary I heard wanted Zucc. Perhaps acquiring Kylington and Foo or Tuulola instead. We can sign Chiasson for 3rd line RW or use Lettieri at that point. Buyout Staal to put Kylington in the NHL roster.

With that cap space why not give another million to Spooner for another year of playing? Give Skjei another 1.5 for 2 more years of play?

This mock i went for the Bridge deal with Skjei. it's gonna be that or 6 @5.25 to lock him up long term,.
I did 3 for Spooner as i was unsure i was trading Hayes until started this. if he goes 4 years he'll get 4.375(ish)

Calgary huh ? Interesting i might redo this with them

Was on the fence with buying out Staal since suffering through another year would alleviate the cap hit & the D is young and IMAGINE if a new coach/system has him find some of his game & he becomes tradeable?
i know i know crazy talk but it's Friday & i'm feeling optimistic.

Ok I can get behind the bridge deal and I think if we are getting rid of Hayes then Spooner should be here for an extra year. I hear you on young players and all but if we do get a defenseman then I think Staal is the most likely to be gone.

As well in the one I'm creating I went a different route with Zucc. This one was a cold ember rumor around trade deadline.
