Crazy thinking we’re eating Granlund’s 11 million dollars

It was just an attempt to send him anywhere that has cap space to spare

Bruins decline. they can't retain on Hall, defeats the purpose of moving him

What if we downgrade the pick from a first and drop the retention?

Don't think the Bruins have any interest in Rutta because of how much $ he's making and I think there are better options than Desmith to be our backup.

Hall for a 2nd probably works, although it's just really hard to gauge how much he's actually worth

The Bruins are in a tight spot and would likely have to move him and the Pens should be looking to move on from Rutta and DeSmith but they don't have to be in the same deal and they don't have to go to Boston. Looking at this, I need to go back to the drawing board because I think Domi is going to get a bit more (probably closer to $5M AAV) which makes Hall impossible. My goal was a somewhat high end LW from a team that is desperate that would only cost about $4M against the cap. Also ideally moving on from some players that are somewhat redundant for the team I put together.
