I saw a lot of those "Matthew Tkachuk to St Louis" trades and I kind of like it. He would fit in right in the team and he would become an instant fan favorite. The only I can see it happening is if they trade Tarasenko to Calgary. With the trade rumors that were surrounding him last summer it makes sense to see him leave and go over. Barbashev added to the deal for some sort of "cap dump", but can be very good in Calgary in the right role.

I also saw that Marco Scandella could also be on the move this summer, and I can see him move to a team like Ottawa. He brings a veteran presence to a young defensive core and can be used in every role over there. Can be a good move for him if he wants to be close from home, since he's from Montreal.

I added some cheap piece to fill up the holes for the 4th line. Freddy Gauthier can be a good guy to have for important faceoffs in the defensive zone and brings some size to the team. Zack MacEwen brings some grit to the team and is not afraid to drop the mitts once in a while to bring some momentum to the team.
