Disregarding the cap for a second, I don’t see Columbus going for a pick swap and Dellandrea. Take Toronto’s 1st out of the deal & you’re getting closer, but Dallas probably still needs to add a little value in order to make the trade work for both sides.

Defence isn't Dallas's problem. Think they just wait till summer of 2022 and just might sign Jones as a UFA, instead of trading cheap assets for him this season.

Truthfully, I’m just not a fan of giving up a bunch of major assets for a big name with the potential to end up just being a one-year rental. I’m a huge Kings fan and remember how badly the Lucic trade worked out for us, but I even thought at the time it was a massive overpay. I know 2015 Lucic is no Seth Jones, but I really hope that teams thinking about acquiring him really hit Columbus hard with his pending UFA status to bring down the asking price

That’s probably the better route to go. I was just curious what they do if they consider adding him to extend him and possibly let someone “overpay” for Klingberg in free agency. I’m sure Dallas briefly had the same thought, but they are way better at exercising patience with these scenarios
