turris for zuc. both have the same contract and both could use a change of scenery. minny needs centers and nashville has too many.

On paper this makes sense, but doesn't fit the youth movement Poile also emphasized in this press conference.

sure but he's not going to get any youth for turris. the options are to swap him for a similar project or to buy him out. the way i see it may as well try the swap first.

Yeah, I get that. I just think we're going to buy him out versus a veteran player swap. Retained salary on a cap dump trade for late picks might work, especially if it's less than or equal to $2M (annual buyout cost).
