Description

Jack needs help. I tried to accomplish this by changing most of his supporting cast, whilst still keep the pieces that worked last year. Is all of this possible? I think most of it is fairly possible and more reasonable than some might think. Can they get rid of the "dead weight"? Probably not as easily as here, but it's my damn roster!

The Only problem I have with this trade is that Toronto is looking for a good Defensive D not an offensive one. That being said since the return is Kerfoot I would say I could see Dubas doing this and looking for a Defensive D elsewhere. They would probably want Buffalo to retain the extra salary.

Disagree with you on the D. Vancouver and Carolina probably decline those trades along with Toronto.

Vancouver definitely declines. Not enough for Boeser and Oli. That Hutton trade is fantasy. We might be able get a late round pick for him but more than likely we will be swapping his salary for a 4th line type player with a similar contract unless.we.are retaining salary. The value on Lebanc is right if you remove the third coming back. I would not make the move though you have too many players in this lineup that don't play defense. Better to just keep Johannson and play him there we will be much better off. Cozens should be the 3C with this lineup and then play Czikas on line 4. Hamonic contract is aweful. Then you signed Pominville out of retirement to bury his contract in the minors. At least when you sign Nate Thompson and bury his contract in the Minors he wasn't already retired.

I don't want to trade Cizikas but that's a damn good offer.
