Risto for Schultz probably gets declined both ways (that could be seen as a good thing ig) bc ik I don't want Risto and ik sabres fans think that they can get a crazy overpay for him, Jarry for pool party makes sense, trading a young G we don't have room for to a team that could use a G that still has the potential to be a starter/tandem Petr Mrazek type goalie, for a probable bust, EDM could throw in a late round pick, but I'm still a Jarry truther so probably not, Hornqvist for a second, especially LAK's which will probably be 32-34th is a bit optimistic, but I agree Hornqvist needs to go, the one issue I have with the rest of it is pool party played 4th line mins in EDM and didn't develop, why would he develop getting them here, play him with Crosby, run 3 scoring lines, McCann-Bjugs-Kahun would be an amazing third line, Zucker would compliment Geno and Galch so well too, but for the defense you have to hope that MP develops a lot more defensive responsibility (he certainly wasn't bad last year, he was probably our second best DFD) at least Schultz is somewhat competent in his own end, does Risto even step foot in his own end, like srsly how is one as bad defensively as he is, and Riikola probably shouldn't be in the top 6, but maybe, idk either way to still have 3 mil to work with to find a bottom pairing d man (Ben Hutton maybe) and a healthy scratch better than Drozg (who I'm assuming is a placeholder, just replace him with Adam Johnson or Oula Palve or Blandisi) but the 1 thing that really doesn't make sense about this is the Zucker trade, even if you say JJ has 0 value, Rust and a third don't get you what was offered for Kessel, just no, I mean ik Fenton is stupid (throwing in POJ would probably be good) but idk if he's that stupid lol, but good job overall
