Canucks pass. Ferraro is too small for Canucks preference for Dmen plus wrong handed we need RHD. Coe doesn't move the needle Duclair is alright but not worth what we are giving up. Lekkerimaki is highly regarded by management.

Detroit will keep Veleno. What happened to Bordeleau though? He was really good a few years ago. (Then again, that Michigan roster was stacked)

These are quite something

Bad trade for SJS with EDM
VAN trade makes no sense for them.

Couture trade makes no sense for Buffalo despite the retention (he literally could be near retirement with his inflammatory hip injury if it doesn’t improve)


Hertl trade is bad for SJS.

I think the Sharks should keep him - but his transition to LW has caused to things:

He’s overall looked more comfortable
He’s become more expendable

Eklund tho, if he stays a C (his natural position) and tries to slowly transition like Stutzle, then Bordeleau needs to be kept.

I think SJS fans have become to eager to move on from him.

I agree there is nothing there for Detroit.

Canucks easily decline. I might not even give up the 1st alone for that package, let alone adding in our top prospect who management has stated is untouchable.

Wild decline. The money, the contract, the age don't work for them.

Sabres are unlikely to give anything of value for Couture unless it’s a Skinner(Skinner himself being of value) for Couture swap. His injury history this year has put his career in jeopardy and as such no matter the retention it makes little sense to trade assets for a guy who may just be on LTIR for 3 years
