NJD would keep both of there guys IMO

I like the coyotes guys and they have a new gm who may not be as high on them. I think that could be a deal.

Most of the trade options are a no, or would cost too much tbh.

I’d love to take a look at Danault, he wants a top line role like he had in Montreal before Suzuki got there, I would offer him a 6.5x6 contract.

No from the Avs. Why would they deal a cost-controlled 2C when they're trying to compete? Makes no sense.

The Sabres would need a 1st line C to come back, and doesnt really need a top pair LD with Dahlin. Korpisalo is also not having a good year, I dont think CBJ has enough.

Trade description

Or they could make Landeskog a strong offer in UFA over the summer.
He is about the youngest and best center that will be available (in addition to Danault, who is also a UFA this summer).

Landeskog is not a c

sign him anyway...he can score as well as set up.
maybe domi will finally figure it out in the middle

Turcotte for Werenski has a lot of appeal, but I think he's too far off in development time for you. I see 2023-2024 as the first season he could reasonably be your #2C.

Monahan, Strome and Hertl seem to fit your time window better.

I don't think Steel will ever be more than a #3C or Terry more than a #3RW; we don't usually use him at center.

Philly fans on CapFriendly seem to have given up on Patrick prematurely; I don't think Flyers management has.

Play for a cup-contender or play for Columbus? In Ohio. For Tortorella.

Decisions, decisions...

Tortarella won’t be there next year. I don’t see him leaving Colorado though unless Joe decides not to pay him.

Which won't happen. Joe learned his lesson after the Stastny debacle

Hughes and Hischier are untouchable

Steel/Terry: We already have developing project Cs; more are not helpful.
Schmaltz/Dvorak: The Coyotes aren't exactly flush with centers either, so it'll probably cost too much. But if the opportunity is there, maybe.
Eichel: We don't have the right assets to make it happen.
Reinhart: Not actually a C.
Monahan: Goal-scorer so wouldn't fit with Laine, and I fear they'll ask for #1C prices, which is too much.
Backlund: As you said, the contract term is dangerous.
Kadri: Newhook isn't that close yet so they won't be motivated to move him.
Turcotte/Vilardi: Won't be ready soon enough to realistically help.
Duchene/Johansen: Too expensive and the term is dangerous.
Hughes/Hischier: Neither will plausibly be moved for what we have to offer.
Nelson: Nobody available to take his place over there so the cost will be too high.
Chityl: Doesn't have sufficient upside or sufficient experience to be worth what it'd take to get him (he's not going to be the #1C we need, and he's too young to be a decent mentor to the folks we have already).
Strome: Maybe, if the Rangers don't ask for too much.
Hayes: Disaster contract in the making.
Patrick: Same as Steel/Terry.
Hertl: Maybe, but I suspect San Jose wants to keep him.
Cirelli: Would be great if it can be done but I'm not sure what we can meaningfully provide to Tampa Bay that would entice them to give him up.
Glass/Krebs: Same as Turcotte/Vilardi.
Karlsson: Why would they trade their #1C while they're competing?
Kuznetsov: Maybe, if the Capitals don't ask for too much.
RNH: Have you seen his production 5-on-5? He's probably going to ask for more than he deserves.
Danault: My favorite option, but still likely to be a tad pricey.
Krejci: If he'll take a short-term deal, could be an excellent option.

Reinhart has played some C lately and has good numbers there

That doesn't make him an actual center option. It means that if we get desperate we can try Domi Part 2.
