-I think if the Hurricanes move Turbo they get back a better return; at the very least I think Pittsburgh would have to pay the in-division tax here.
-No idea why Montreal would do this without a sweetener - Granlund is older and more expensive than Dvorak. They're basically the same player, with the difference that Dvorak is at least somewhere in the ballpark of Montreal's eventual contention timeline.
-Last summer it cost the Rangers a pair of 2nds to dump 2x$2.5M of Patrik Nemeth. Not sure why it would cost the Pens so much less to dump 2x$2.75M of Rutta.
-Seattle would take this, I assume - they've got the space and Petry is still a decent player. I don't know if Jeff is waiving for Seattle, though.
-I take this deal if I'm the Jackets. Trade from your surplus of RHD and get an interesting young LHD. Win for both sides, IMO.
-I don't think Carter waives to go finish out this contract on the Ducks. If he does, I don't see Anaheim sending any sort of draft capital back - a 2nd rounder for just under $5M in cap relief feels fair.
