Not good enough if you want the Preds to retain.

nashville wants a return like muzzin, i think they for sure consider this

No money retained in the Muzzin deal
In my humble opinion Ekholm is the better D out of the 2

Nashville declines.

Buffalo accepts.

Ohh just put a guy on LTIR IS HE HAVING SURGERY OR CONCUSSIONS CONTRARY TO WHAT PEOPLE HERE THINK TB DIDN"T JUST OHH WE'LL GIVE KUCHEROV THE REGULAR SEASON OFF THE MAN HAD HIP SURGERY.

Probably need to toss in Hallander into the NSH trade. Problem with getting Hall is that it doesn't really improve the forward core as a whole. I would rather acquire multiple cheaper assets to make the forward core as balanced as possible and as lethal as possible. Spezza isn't a centre no more. Great in the dot, but he is a winger up and down the ice most of the time.

I would trade Kerfoot to clear up cap space too. Get a new 2LW. Engvall is 4C at most coming down the stretch. Work out a couple deals to improve those 2 spots.
