I think the canes would be interested in pulj but they don’t have the cap space to take russel

Canes are in no position to take cap dumps

Horrible for Arizona

Three way trade.

Really I didn't think it was that bad lol, they get a younger LD with team control back for a guy that is on a monster contract that's aging and on the decline. Not to mention a 1st as well.... I get they're taking Neal back but, I don't think it's that big of an issue. I think EDM would have to add, but not a whole lot more.

But then why wouldnt a team like detroit just do the canes deal as it is now? I mean im all for it if the canes can cheaply dump russel

Curious, where's this rumour from?

So basically Nurse a cap dump in Neal and a 1st round pick that's more then likely late teens to early twenties, And why would Arizona do this? Only good part is Nurse Neal and the 1st wont be much.

dont think there is an actual rumour of him and Edmonton, OEL is available apparently and edmonton media has gone wild with posts about if they should go after him or not.

I think there is more substance with OEL to the flames, it was speculated on the 31 thoughts podcast if OEL and them would be a good fit.

And stop trading your RDs to Detroit we're set there. We need LD help not RD help.

Not really it’s worse for edm tbh

AZ hurting for cap OEL already on the decline contract is gonna be ugly don’t know how this is so bad for AZ

That's really interesting, we will see what happens!

James Neal would have been Arizona's second leading scoring last year.

That scares the heck out of me. Gio would have to be going to ARI or else I have no interest. Way too much money tied up on LD otherwise.

So how does this trade solve anything? Basically Nurse+Neal have the same cap hit as OEL+Grabner it's basically a wash Arizona isn't gaining anything with this deal.

Hanafin was sort of tossed out there as fodder which I think would be a bad idea
The real prize out of Arizona is getting Hjalmarsson from them.

I agree, Hanifin has underwhelmed at times, but still I'm not trading a 23yr old D for a 29yr old that almost costs double.

There's lots of love for Hjalm around the league. I also think Garland would get them a great return. Makes 775k and scores you 20

Garlund would be costly to get, they need his cheap contract. They are hurting cap wise and one of those teams who apparently will have a internal cap of 70mish next season. They might dump Stepan for nothing just to move his contract, same as Kessel.

Dvorak and Hjalmarsson would be the 2 guys I would want Avs to try to pry out of there

It’s bad contract for bad contract oel has a bigger cap hit and longer term..? How aren’t they gaining anything lol
