Hickey, Thomas
Prince, Shane
2017 3rd round pick (NYI)

NYI

#3 overall

Here's why I think this kinda works. Aside from Nico/Patrick, this draft isn't especially strong. One could argue that Dal Colle, a former #5 overall pick in a DEEP draft, would be better than any player available at 3. In addition, DAL acquires Kulimen, on half salary, who is an exceptional penalty killer (their weakness) and a mid 2nd round pick. The Isles can still acquire a good prospect (Liljegren?) while shedding about $2M of cap space in the process

DAL

Dal Colle, Michael
Kulemin, Nikolai ($2,000,000 retained)

Additional Details:

#46 overall

NYI

Fowler, Cam

Additional Details:

Poorly kept secret that Anaheim won't be able to keep all of their defenseman. This package works because Nelson is a 20 goal scoring 2C (who ANA can actually protect) and a blue chip LHD prospect.

ANA

NYI

RFA rights to Tyler Johnson

TB can't pay all of their expiring contracts. Receiving a top-4 LHD shot blocking machine in De Haan and the 15th overall pick is reasonable compensation for Johnson.

RFA rights to Calvin De Haan
#15 overall

Not saying your trade to Dallas wasn't good, because it makes sense, but Jim Nill said he wants an established player in the NHL for #3 overall. But good job on everything it looks pretty good to me.

I like this for the Isles. But as mentioned above, the Stars are looking for an established player. I also heard they are looking for a top end defenseman, so i think they would want hamonic, MDC and Kulemin. The isles wouldn'd and shouldn't accept a deal like that unless they get the 3rd overall and something else for MDC, Kulemin and Hamonic. Great job, love the ideas, but i think the Stars only want it one way and won't waver much in their value

Both reasonable responses. I forgot to mention MDC is NHL ready and with Sharp and Hudler both likely departing. (And Eakin to VGK?) Lot of holes on the third line open
