The goaltending and bottom 6 may be fixed but that Defense is potentially bottom 3-5 in the league. Bouchard is not the guy to move, he definitely isn't the answer but he's also definitely not the guy to move. Every advanced statistic points to him being a really good hockey player (not defenseman necessarily lmao), he works great at the 3rd guy in that d-core. Desharnais is not an nhl hockey player boot him out of the country and Ceci should be moved.

Absolutely love the Binnington target I'd just switch out Bouch for that 24'1st instead and then downgrade the pick in the Nashville trade to the 25'1st instead. Carrier works great with Kulak in the bottom pair so I'd package Ceci + Bourgault + Mcleod+ whatever draft capital we have left

Also Brown is going to be playing ten games by Thursday he's here for the long haul we just gotta keep him in that middle 6 and hope by April he comes through (like this team even has a shot at making the playoffs lmao)

The Hawks have enough 4th line guys who can't score so just taking Connor Brown without some additional incentive (maybe the 2025 4th) probably won't happen. The amount of the contract and term are good, but Brown has always been "just a guy". Hawks have plenty of those.

IDK if that gets it done for Stl
i assume theyd want some retention on Campbell

But add retention and the value looks fair, idk if our gm accepts tho
