Absolutely not trading Comtois and Benoit for absolutely nothing

Hard pass from Nashville. Don't need another left handed defenseman

Doubt Arizona has any interest in paying Granlund $11M to be a replacement level player. Friedman could be had on waivers. Nothing of value outside of the second, and to be quite honest, I wouldn't trade a bottle of fresh air for Granlund's contract, Friedman, and a conditional second/third.

The Yotes are thin on defense, so I'm not sure why they'd trade Valimaki, who they rescued from Calgary and looks like a top-4 guy for them. At a million dollars a year.
Jenik probably doesn't hold a ton of value, but I'm curious to see what he brings this year. If he doesn't make the squad, he'll be on the block or on waivers.

Edmonton isn't interested in trading a good young player for picks. They're in their contention window, they aren't rebuilding.

Carter can't be put on LTIRetired unless he actually has career ending injuries.
