Take out Bryson and you have a deal.

I don't know where you got this report but Edmonton was unwilling to give up Bouchard for Karlsson (even before his crazy playoff run) so why would they give him up for a winger (who he had better offensive production than) that doesn't even fit Edmonton's timeline

I was thinking the same thing

Holland isn't trading Bouchard.

And fat chance of Connor Hellebuyck extending with Buffalo long term. He wants to play for a legit cup contender. And sorry Buffalo isn't one yet.

I think the idea is they would become one soon, especially if hellebuyck was their goalie

Guys don’t take this too seriously. It’s basically a dream off-season

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way, There's been several elite teams over the years to never win a cup. Outside of Dahlin and Power the D is still suspect. Forward core is nice but it takes elite D and Goaltending to win cup. The D still could be better.

Demelo and Ryan Johnson would go a long way to solving the issues on the blue line. It doesnt guarantee anything but it gives you a shot, which is what a contender more or less is.

This is true.

Let me guess... detroit is?

I dont believe it was ever reported, just a fun mock trade on their podcast. Theory behind it was the possibility that edmonton wouldnt have the space to sign him.
