the Kase trade is the exact same as before but Vancouver is the recipient instead of Columbus as the wing depth is a bit thinner up north, so Vancouver would have more reason to do this trade.

Again, same as previously, Muzzin gets shipped to Buffalo because it helps both teams cap situations; Leafs have an easier time staying under the maximum and buffalo has an easier time staying above the minimum without having to sign too many jeff skinner contracts that have terrible value.

its a simple cap dump, a 6th isn't too expensive and Nashville gets a 13th forward in case of injury.

the Anaheim trade got a good amount of notice for being a terrible trade, so I added a 3rd and changed Scott for Woll and Anderson for Ovchinnikov. Mrazek sticks to the trade for cap reasons and because Anaheim can give him a final chance before he's officially useless. I do still think this trade can be made more fair and that Anaheim still isn't getting enough, but I think the improvements are in the right direction.

Rangers will for sure need some extra center help come next season, so why not a mid six two-way center and a prospect. Also, Kerfoot could replace motte on the 4th line if the rangers can't get him back on contract.

The Rangers and Edmonton trade is a 3 way trade, Edmonton is directly getting Georgiev, Leafs receive draft picks, and rangers receive kerf and Abramov

The Fiala trade was has been updated in a way that should make the salary situation less of a problem. Even with the 5.5 mil salary retain on Tavares' contract which was there previously, the cap hell that is Minnisota right now needed a bit more relief, and considering how good their defense already is, I think taking Kulikov (who wasn't even in their playoff roster) and more importantly his cap hit off the books for an extra pick should help as well. Also, though I thought previously that the 5.5 mil wouldn't be a problem for Seattle to retain considering the timing is damn near perfect and they have cap to spare, there was still requests to give more than a 5th and 6th, so I put a 4th and added a 5th just to be safe.

This is the only new trade. St. Louis needs improved depth defense and this is a great opportunity. Kulikov can likely fit right in the lineup and the contract isn't too terrible either.
