dallas and colorado decline

Its never a good idea to sign a player who isnt a superstar to a 7 year deal

Absolutely decline. Need Marner coming back in a Stars trade for Klingberg. Dallas will def add a little bit but no reason for the Stars to move Klingberg without a player of his caliber coming back

Easily decline by the avs.

I don’t think either of those goalies are starter caliber, but what do I know. I was saying the same thing about Columbus at the beginning of the year and then Korpisalo turned into God the other night

Just doesn’t make sense for COL, why would they want Andersson his contract and lack of success in the playoffs?

We could probably flip Andersen for at least a 2nd, effectively making the trade a late 1st for Mikheyev. Based on the regular season I'd be inclined to agree to that, because he fits the profile of player that would be a perfect fit on our 2nd line, given that:

- he's a two-way playmaker;
- he's fast;
- he has size;
- he's young;
- he has excellent possession metrics (i.e. over 54% in CF% and FF%);
- he's an excellent PKer (played on Toronto's top PK unit); and
- he'll will be pretty cheap to resign.

That said, he doesn't have a huge sample size in the NHL as he got injured mid-season (23 points in 39 games), and his no-show in the playoffs with 0 points in 5 games against Columbus is a bit concerning. So it would certainly be fair if you or others would be reluctant to make that trade.
