I’m down, anything to move his contract

At this point Stan has to, but I don't think AA is a bad player at all. OTT is the right team due to the contract if nothing else. AA is a steal @ $2.5M a year for 2 years...which is what they'd pay.

I completely agree. I still think a team like the Islanders could take him (in contention but still has cap space). They need a 3C and Anisimov puts up 30-40 points and is solid defensively. That is, of course, if they stay away from Marner

Was thinking the Oilers also

I think we're going to see a rotation of Kubalik, Perlini, Sikura, and possibly Quenneville until they find three guys that can stick in the top 9 winger positions. Makes me nervous though as I see all of them as middle 6 players and none of them as a top line winger.

Also, if we move Anisimov, I wonder if Shaw plays 3C or if we bring up Kurashev or Entwistle and juggle them with the 4C with Kampf. Again, if we can't find a top line winger then Shaw will likely get pushed up and we'll need another center.

Wed probably have to take back gagner or manning though.

If anisimov goes then they'll probably give dach a shot at that third line center spot. Atleast for 9 games. Most likely it'll be kampf and carpenter as the 3rd and 4th line centers in no particular order. Carpenter is pretty good at faceoffs

I totally forgot about Entwistle. Another guy I’m high on is Highmore, although his injury last season will probably set his call up back a little while

Does anyone know how long Dehaan will be injured? And also, I think a trade with Saad for someone like Clayton Keller or maybe Jason Zucker would make sense. Maybe Saad and Highmore for Zucker?

DeHaan is out until Thanksgiving; maybe December
