i'd assume karlsson wants a cup so he declines and would prefer to go to a better team

Elliotte Friedman on 32 thoughts seems to think otherwise with alfredsson being back with the Sens organization

Let me guess, he started the thought by saying "i wonder"

DeMelo will get a better offer from a better team

OTT declines PIT trade

- I'd much rather have Chabot who is 7 years younger.

- Connor Brown is unfortunately not the same player as before his injury. Just keep Kastelic instead. Kelly-Blueger-Kastelic could be a good 4th line. Actually, since you have Heinen, he certainly makes the team

- Too expensive to bury Korpisalo, might as well buy him out. Keep Sogaard one more year in the AHL, keep Forsberg for the last year of his contract instead of buying him out.

- No chance you can get DeMelo at that price

- A bit too long for Teräväinen

- I don't know about Norris buyout... not sure they'd really consider that
