They have no need to sign Gardiner. I think they want Pettersson to be the 2LHD, and Dumo is the 1.

I don't have issues with the trades. You probably aren't getting a 2nd back for JJ. But if a 6th is all you wanted I could see that happening.
I think JJ is going to get sent down to WBS and will be traded by mid year once teams have injury issues. But I wouldn't expect a return.

Bjugstad is not enough to get Del Zotto. You’ll need to add Guentzel and a first.

I think u added Bjugstad by accident

ANA doesn't need a goalie.

You didn't get much value for Bjugstad.

Ottawa absolutely rejects that deal.

Gardiner declines the contract offer.

Otherwise great job.

No way you're getting Jake Gardiner for 2 x 4 He'll want at least $6 million per if it's only for 2 years.

You probably don't get that return from OTT without JJ, switch the side of the second, ANA rejects, they wouldn't want to give up a pick to get a 3C when they already have too many, and they don't need Desmith at all either Simon>Lindberg blueger would be C over ZAR, why would you sign Nichushkin, just why, he's also going back to the KHL if that's all he's going to get money wise (and I wouldn't give him that much)
