I'd love to see Guerin offersheet one of Barzal or Cirelli, but I do feel like a Cirelli offersheet is going to have to be higher than that to not be matched. The Vancouver trade isn't really worth it. Hartman still has positive value as a bottom-6 right handed shot and the wild have the cap to let Dubnyk's contract run out. I don't really see Goldobin or McDonagh as that positive of additions, especially with how crowded we are at LW.

Yeah I like it a lot. My preference will always be Barzal over Cirelli but I think any offer sheet for Barzal under the four 1sts threshold gets matched by the Islanders and giving up four future firsts is too much for Barzal (the 2022 draft class is looking incredible). Cirelli is a lot more realistic since the Bolts will have to trade one of Gourde, Johnson, or Killorn to keep him and I think that's easier said than done (especially with a flat cap) despite what Bolts fans might say. He's not a perfect fit, but he's definitely a 1C and at this point beggars can't be choosers.
One minor tweak: I'd put Brodin on the second pairing. He really deserves to be on the top pairing with Spurge but Suter will never let that happen.

I like the ideas man. Props because this really was creative. I don't think they'll move Dubnyk at this point. Like Floppy said, he only has one year left so they'll most likely give Kakhonen one more year to groom at the AHL-Level before they move him into full NHL duties.
I like the Cirelli over Barzal for offer sheet. Not because I like him better as a player, but because I think there is a higher chance we get him than Barzal.
I'll give you an A for effort though man. This was creative. If you want to get more creative, you can try trading Brodin or Dumba because I doubt both will be on our roster come July 1st, 2021. Seattle expansion draft ruining a good D corps.
Thanks guys.
I agree with floppy and tansor, Barzal > Cirelli.
In top of that, I'd love Barzal to leave the Islanders.
Dont see him going to the next level if he remains an Islander.
I really like Soucy and think Wild should move on from Brodin.
Suter and Spurgeon are married to each other now, hope Spurgeon is new captain.
I moved Dubnyk because I want The Wild to start changing to KK, and Markstrom I dont feel will resign in Vancouver.
What other pieces would you want instead of what I came up with? And who would you rather move instead?
