Not bad goaltending and center depth is weaker though

Is there a way to get Foudy and Bemstrom for Hayes? Like would there need to be more or less retention in ur opinion? Is Bemstrom more or less valuable than the 3rd? Just curious

You can have both

I think the Boqvist could command a late 1st to a contender who wants the cap control.. he would be great on Colorado or maybe Tampa

Ya I think that wouldn't be a problem. Likely Bemstrom would be valued as a third round pick anyways. Columbus has so many young guys and are still high on Chinakov so I don't think they'd have a problem moving on from both of them

Ya that is a good point. Tampa would be a great fit to play alongside a good partner and could develop really nicely

Would like Boqvist in Colorado as our 6th D. Or in the event we trade one of Toews/Girard. But not sure we could offer more than a 3rd. No 2nds until '26 and the 1sts need to be used to upgrade center depth or prospect depth for future deals.
