Would just need another move to get a 3LW to get Barron out of there, he's pretty useless in that spot.

Edit: Definitely a better built squad, a much improved bottom six and adding Chycrun to the defense makes it so much better, also that's how I'd line up the D pairs and if Pionk still struggles maybe swap him with one of Demelo or Schmidt.

Christ you think the return will be that big for Chych?

Whats proposed here is a 1st, a 2nd in 2025, Lambert and Heinola, the 5th and Fjallby have very little value so they're inconsequential to this deal, yeah I think that's what Chycrun will go for and if I was Chevy and my though process was we gotta go for it then I'd make the trade.

Also in this hypothetical Arizona is sending Bjustad and a 4th so its not just Chycrun alone, Bjustad is having an okay season and is probably worth a 3rd or 4th himself, that's a factor too.

I also think Heinola's value/stock is dropping and not sure how much value Lambert really has, if I could turn them into Chycrun I'd do it, would be more worried about losing the 1st but acquiring good players usually cost a 1st so it is what it is.

Domi-Bjugstad- Appleton
Barron- Lowry-Maenalanen

Move Apples down when Perfetti returns and scratch Barron or Maenalanen

Damn I hope they do something, waiting for the other shoe to drop and Dubois only settles for 1 year and scheifele plays out his last year, and helly does something similar, would be nice to add some youth and term, try to retool on the fly and possibly keep some of the above without killing the cap too hard.
