Which teams have an extra defenseman, worthy of protection, but that would likely go unprotected in expansion draft and need bottom-six forwards.
One-for-one, no picks, no money. (alternative: adding pending UFA such as Murray, Kulikov, Vatanen plus forward for your blueliner, if its pre-deadline).
NJD will likely protect Severson and Butcher. All their other defensemen are either exempt or pending UFAs.

NJD protect list
F: Hischier, Bratt, Johnsson, Wood, Sharangovich...and one of Zacha, Mcleod, Kuokkanen, Merkley, Bastian
D: Severson, Butcher, and _______
G: Blackwoood
Exempt list: Hughes, Smith, Gusev, Mercer, Foote, Maltsev, Boqvist, Walsh, Bahl, Okhotyuk and any other unsigned prospects
Well a few teams but Idk what you'll get for a bottom 6 forward.
Thats why I posted instead of trying out a thousand ACGMs to find.
Would be fairly small-ball deal.
And the most likely may be to just deal with Seattle.
What if PK resigns at a lower rate? We'd need to protect him. He hasn't been bad this year.
True. Considered that. But left him unprotected since I doubt Seattle takes him for 1 year, $9m. And we would not be able to offer an extension until after expansion draft.
Also, regardless of expansion draft, Reilly Walsh may play Subban out of a job sooner than we think.
Sorry to Kraken
Ive been preaching this: They will need to get the cap floor, PK is a great PR and ambassador for the game,we can retain if need be and a sweetener to take who Fitz deems to be worth it
