Detroit accepts.

I like the moves.

I'll play Ekholm-Petry, Romanov-Weber, Edmonston-Kulak(or trade for a RHD 3rd pairing)

Don't want Byron but ok

Don't see smashville accepting no need for Chiarot,

Wings pass, will get a 3rd for lgd alone and byron is a pure cap dump. Will need more to take byron on

I like Glendenning a lot. I like Stecher also for our 3rd pairing. Not a big name, but he could prove to be useful down the road. I would probably offer something like Mete/Kulak + Poehling + 2nd for both (adjust to make money work).
Hall? I don't know man... He's a good player, but anything Buffalo seems jinxed this year! I think I'd pass. Except if it's something like MTL 1st + Byron + Weal + B prospect. Basicaly, If it costs just a first, GO!
Habs DO need a top-4 puck-moving LD. But the solution may come from inside, if Romanov keeps improving. But yes, if MB can get his hands on a guy like Ekholm at a decent price, he should do it!

Sabres decline
