If Nash lasts that long on TB's rooster when Kucherov and Point come back he'll most likely be waived

Isn’t Schmaltz worth more than a 2nd? In my mind, he’s either worth more as a player or a helluva lot less because of the contract

Montreal declines

Jackets aren't adding at the deadline. Nash and Evans make no sense at all.

I am somewhat torn on Schmaltz. I think the trade would have to be something like Gus or Bemstrom plus a slightly later pick for Schmaltz. I like his play but don't know if there is a big enough need for him with the guys we have coming in.

He’s worth more than that, Arizona turns that down easily

Columbus isn’t adding at the deadline, maybe adding picks but that’s about it. They also need to move forwards out to make room for players like Foudy, Bemstrom, Marchenko, Johnson, Sillinger and Chinakov.

Assuming Montreal acquires another 1st by trading Chiarot (or perhaps Toffoli), and holds the 2nd overall pick. Would Columbus be interested in swapping their two 1st round picks (8 and 10th currently) for #2 and a bottom half 1st rounder?
