All that and your starting with jost as your 3c? Youmay recall he came off waivers. I personally like joker and see no need to trade him, mot sure bouchard is really an improvement in the the defensive lapse department. And bryson for gravikov just makes your 6th dman more expensive.
All in all i think the first part with nashville never gets off the ground. Your not getting a solid dman and promising forward for two guys that are struggling to flesh out thier nhl game.

Nashville doesn't do this nor should Edmonton trade Bouchard.

Nashville is getting shafted here. No way they do it

So mattias ekholm and jeannot

For

A cap ballist (puljujarvi), a smaller forward who doesnt fit nashvilles needs (Olofsson), and Jokiharju. Nashville passes

If that's what it took to pry Jeannot and Ekholm out of Nashville, Buffalo would do it and not bother with any of the other moves.

The 1st in a Gavrikov return is non-optional.

And that Preds deal is horrific.

buffalo is robbing both edmonton and nashville in this deal, edmonton won’t trade bouchard regardless but like why would either team include them when they can just do jeannot + ekholm for bouchard + puljujarvi? what is buffalo bringing here?

So I guess fans around the league don't get what Olofsson and Mitts can add to a team...They have to be on top six in order to produce. Buffalo is too deep at young forwards and they are not third line players. Olofsson playing with someone like Forsberg would be intriguing and also helps Preds PP. It's also been rumored if Edmonton wants someone like Ekholm they will have to give up Bouchard or Broberg. No one thought Colorado would trade Barron last year. I would say that move helped them win the cup.

Nashville doesn't need middle 6 scoring. If Ekholm really is on the block, it means we're sellers. Not interested in taking back players who bring 0 value for us.

Would much rather get young prospects / picks in return for Jeannot and Ekholm.
