-Easy no from the Islanders, but I assume it doesn't even get to them because Muzzin blocks the deal with his NTC.
-I can't really see the Wings doing that - Nylander might be better than Bertuzzi but I just don't think they're in the "spending to upgrade positions" part of the rebuild yet. I think it could go either way though, the value is more than fair, if not a little tilted towards Detroit.
-Driedger got injured at the World Championships and is out through at least January of next year it looks like; I could maybe see Seattle trading for Mrazek as a warm body to throw back there but I don't think Toronto is going to get the value they want from this deal.
And for what it's worth, you have the room to go bigger with Miles Wood's deal and I think you'd have to. Even with the injury he had last year, I can't see him taking basically a 50% pay cut next season from the $2.75M deal he was on. Someone will throw him at least $2M, if he even hits the market with the Devils not qualifying him.
