I like the guys targeted in the trades.
Mangiapane is a good shout for a "we can't extend him" situation but my feeling is that Calgary have more room to maneuver than Wild or Canucks and thus would have to send more value back to them.
But given the heat one usually gets from trading for someone like Fiala in AGM I don't blame you for targeting someone else haha.
I'm a fan of Vancek's game but would prefer to leave Blackwood out of the deal, seems like an overpayment to me and Zacha is expendable anyways.
I think it would do wonders for Blackwood if he worked in tandem with someone you actually could rely on to either split the net with or actually outright win the starterspot from him.
In any case, I really don't want Blackwood traded unless absolutely necessary.
Petterson should be fine to replace Graves but signing Lagesson for the second pair doesn't sit right with me.
Even though he had decent possession metrics with the Oilers he was just batched into that Kulak trade.
Might be wishful thinking on my part but I'd hope that one of Bahl or Walsh would be ready for a full-time NHL job by 22-23.
