Can't see WPG moving Connor, and it's hard to see DeMelo not re-signing in WPG this off season.

So you're trading away two young forwards and a first-round draft pick to acquire an expensive (although highly productive) short-term veteran forward who will push Skinner and Tuch down to the third line, trading away two RhDs only to trade draft picks to get one RhD back, and all this to acquire a #3C and #4C? Seems like a lot of churning to me, especially in light of the fact that I agree with @Rooney that neither Jet is likely to be available.

I think that there is a reason why Kevyn Adams felt himself free to trade Casey Mittelstadt. It will be interesting to see what his plan is.

His plan is resigning Girgensons promoting one of Kulich, Rosen or savoie and adding a 4th line center.

Don't see the need for another top 6 winger unless the team can someone convince Terry to buy out Skinner..... and that ain't happening. Borgen and DeMelo are good targets but I can't see DeMelo coming to Buffalo. Borgen maybe.....

As an aside, it's still trade Joker for Drury week I see.
