I like the move for Trouba, it makes sense for both teams. Selling high on Butcher is a good move Imo, but Drouin is a gamble. Drouin doesn't show up in half games, but he still has 1st line potential.
I would give Duchene that cap hit on a 5 year deal, 7 is too long for me. I don't think Schneider is that valuable to other teams so Carolina likely isn't interested. I wouldn't give up a 1st rounder for a goalie prospect, as we need help in other areas (and we have Blackwood, Schmid as solid goalie prospects).
I'm on board with shipping out Vatanen. Defensemen have high value and I don't think he fits with the team long term. Oh and I love that Klebom trade from the Devils side, maybe Chiarelli would have considered it but he is no longer there. Maybe add a bit more like a 2nd and there's a chance it goes through.
