Description
With the Coyotes moving to Salt Lake, Bjugstad is likely now available for trade (he only signed in Arizona because he's from there). He was happy to accept a trade to the Oilers last time, I'm sure he would be again.

I think a guy like Bertuzzi could definitely be on Ken Holland's radar if Toronto doesn't re-sign him before free agency. He's Canadian, and with his prior controversies, Alberta seems like a good place for him.

Meh, Bert is 29 and right around the age where players his style sharply decline. I'd rather not.
PS, I wouldn't be surprised if Kane and Ceci aren't on next years roster.
PPS, I would love Bjugstad back. Always wanted to keep him. I'm sure we could of found a way to keep him, if we didn't sign Janmark or Erne, but oh well.

Kane has a full NTC for one more season. And we know he likely won't waive it from past experience. I think as long as he has an okay playoffs, the organization will keep him 1 more season.

I could definitely see Ceci being moved if they can find the right upgrade. I think he would've been moved at the deadline this season, had the right dman been available. But pickings are slim for right shot dmen this off-season.

And I think you're right about Bertuzzi, but the contracts into late 30s are Hollands specialty

Not bad we need an upgrade at D more than we need a guy like Bertuzzi though.

Also, I don’t like that goalie tandem - too inexperienced. If Skinner struggles and Roddy isn’t ready for prime time we’re sunk.

Utah does this why ? Dumb trade if Utah plans on going for a playoff run.

There's plenty of cap space to re-sign Calvin Pickard in this scenario if that's what the management wants to do. It's just that Rodrigue is waiver eligible next season, and the organization seems to be pretty high on him

This is very likely Holland's last season so we good LOL.
I forgot about the NMC, that's unfortunate.
Ceci and a 1st was the rumored package for Tanev, too bad that didn't go through.

I'd hope they spend that money on getting Debrusk rather than Bert, I see him as a much better player and honestly someone more likely that we'll land as he's from Edmonton and his family lives here (if I'm not mistaken).
Otherwise this is what I could imagine our offseason looks like too, would rather keep Kulak over Ceci just because of the cap and think a few of the guys you signed are getting less money but overall I think this is the right approach.
