I'm not high on JEE, and given how Backes's contract is even more toxic, I felt that MIN could recoup some decent prospects in a deal like this.

With Valimaki done for a long time, this might work for CGY so that they don't have to sign MacDonald.

VGK might not be done shedding cap; if they indeed aren't, might as well buy low on Marchessault. Shift him back to C and MIN might just be relevant again this year!

Make it Zboril instead of Lauzon...deal.

No from Vegas.

Flames trying to find cap space to sign Tkachuk, looking to trade away a d man as it is. Doubt they want one.

There is a description section on this site. Why did you put your description as a comment?

Take Lauko out and put someone like Cehlarik in and I'm in.

Definite no from Vegas. They can shed another player or players to get cap compliant.

More like Smith.

wow that vgk trade is dreadful

So were most of their cap-shedding moves. They were desperate, and it showed; if they still are, then why not cash in?

if there shedding cap smith is gone marchessault and his great contract stay
