Kempe, Iafallo, Moore, Kaliyev -- all forwards who would play ahead of Pearson both this season and next. (And we have Grundstrom and Lemieux, who are certainly no worse, plus we might need to try Turcotte out at LW.) No need for him, or to spend assets on him, whatsoever.

We might invest a fourth in Schenn at the deadline if injuries suggest it.

Cap makes this a no for wild. Minnesota also isn't taking on any player that needs a raise and will make them not be able to field a team and have to get rid of more players. He's one year from free agency, and sucks defensevily which our coach doesn't like. Judd brackett drafts good

Substitute Kakko for Chytil and Kravtsov

Rangers say NO THANKS, keep JT at that price, or, trade him to someone else.

have no desire to give up so much for JT miller just not worth acquiring him for 1.5 seasons

Garland is a 50-60p winger…? I like him as a player but there’s no way I’m paying 2 1st round picks for him. TT is a equal /better player and he was traded for less. I believe his cap hit was also lower. Either do Lappy and a 2nd or Iorio and a 1st. But Lappy + 1st imo is way too much. Also Kempny cap hit is gone on half a season it’s not that serious or worth that much to dump. We can just send him down

VAN is not doing a rebuild.

Devils give a hard pass to this
