Can't see Hartnell coming back to the Flyers, even on a reduced cap. While we could do with some more scoring we have a ton of LW's already. Schenn, Konecny and Raffl all play in the top 3 lines with Lubimov and VanderVelde in some format on the 4th line. Then next season we'll be looking to add in Lindblom and Leier to that group. If he was a RW they might be a small amount of interest but not for two 3rds.

CBJ can't trade for Duchene. We have to protect Dubi Foligno & Hartnell. If we trade for Duchene, we will protect him. That leaves Saad Atkinson Jenner & Wennberg with only 3 picks left. So who do we expose? Unless Hartnell waives his NMC at the expansion draft.

I know you have Hartnell in a trade. But I don't think that happens.

"If' the trade doesn't happen that is our only option.

This is your best AGM team. Very realistic Duchene trade and I like the sharp trade.

Two things:

-Anderson and Wennberg are each paid too much. Anderson is coming off his ELC and has only this season to base his next contract on, I doubt he signs for anything more than William Karlsson did (1M AAV bridge). Wennberg won't get >4M on a bridge. Only way he gets more is if it's long-term deal.

-Not too keen on shipping out Hartnell for picks and retaining salary on him. The saved money by revising the Wennberg/Anderson deals, as well as qualifying Korpisalo (and not signing an aging Kinkaid) allows Columbus to hold on to Hartnell for one more year.
