-I don't the Kings bite - they already have Mike Anderson and Vlad Gavrikov signed next season at a combined $10M, not to mention Drew Doughty hanging around with an $11M AAV. Not saying Hedman isn't worth it, just saying that I would think the Kings are more interested in shoring up the goaltending situation and extending Quinton Byfield and they could use the assets and cap space to address those issues.
-I could see the Isles making this type of move, especially if they wind up trading JG Pageau. Move Cizikas up to 3C/PK1 and use Glendening as 4C/PK2 and win every faceoff ever.
-Keep the pick, wait a week. Only team that Hanifin can sign an 8 year deal with now is Vegas - you have to be on the roster at the deadline to be eligible for that, so trading for rights won't really do anything here.
-I like Andersson, but not this much - this is two 1sts, a solid & cheap bottom pair player, and one of your best remaining prospects for two years of a solid 3/4 type. I think you could aim higher with this package but also think it's a moot point because I don't think you get the picks from LA.
-I'd defer to Avs fans here, but I think there needs to be just a little more here. LOC is a solid third liner on an affordable deal, and Colorado is cap strapped too - they're gonna need value to pry him out.
