Interesting Moves, by all reports the trade for Gusev, is about the right value. though if we did that pickup I'd like to see Gusev-Malkin-Galchenyuk on a line together.
Not heard about ANA interest in JJ but if that deal was on the table certainly work considering is Larsson NHL ready yet though, from his small sample of games I'd guess he would be able to take up the third line LD role.
Not sure about dumping Guddy especially if it's to get cap space to go after Gardiner, he's awful in his own end and you couldn't pair him with Schultz it would be a complete mess in their own zone.
I agree about moving out Hornqvist and Jarry, sad to see both of them go but Jarry won't clear waivers and Horny is wasted on the third line, also given his concussion history he's one hit away from retirement. sadly I think the return for both of those guys is lower than what you're anticipating.
I'd like to see ZAR take that 4th line RW role too, I think Simon has got to prove he can play top six as he lacks the size to play a bottom six hitting role.
