OTT likely declines, they have no use/need for Gourde and Wolanin is very important for them

Killorn doesnt waive, but Buffalo doesnt pay Tampa to help them anyway

not to mention no way gourde is waiving to play in ottawa. i also dont think johnson waives to play in minnesota. although that would be a steal for minny.

Killorn has a Modified NTC so guessing teams on that list is going to be tough. playing with eichel might entice him to go to buffalo.

Well it wouldn't, since his cap hit&term are pretty bad

Killlorn: Starting July 1, 2020: Player submits a 16 team no trade list.

All those crap teams will be on that list, and any team with cap space.

I agree that Gourde and Johnson arent waiving. Weather, taxes, team is a perennial cup contender. They added this clause as they took less money at the time they signed, for this EXACT reason.

I like that Killorn trade, but I doubt he chooses Buffalo.

for donato and a 3rd? tyler johnson had 31 points in a reduced role. hes only 29, doesnt play a physical style of hockey so his body should still have plenty in the tank. idk man 5m for him seems about spot on. i mean he can replace galchenyuk in a landslide and could even help shelter some of JEE minutes. They also have parise for 5 more years, zuccarello for 5 more years, suter for 5 more years. I think they have to either figure out a way to compete now or go full tank mode and figure out a way to salvage some assets in moving them...

Johnson brings a lot of what the Wild need (right-shot, versatile forward/center), but he also adds to an already full roster of old guys on long-term contracts... I would love to add Johnson to the Wild’s mix, but they would have to figure out how to trade zuccarello for this to work for them.
