I don't think the Flames would make a move for Kuemper and I doubt he waives to come to Calgary anyway his NTC list is probably all Canadian teams

You're correct; that package isn't enough for Laine.

that dont get chych, OTT declines

Chych has repeatedly said, on several occations during the seasons, HE WANTS TO STAY IN OTT, the reason there is rumours of OTT trading him is because they have 5 LD and to balance out the LD/RD situations.

Ah didn't see that. Fell victim to the media hits about Chych being available. All good! One can dream lol

WSH is a crap position right now, they need to support Ovi but they also need to rebuild because they are finished and has little in high end prospects, do they sacrifice the McMichael, Connor to try and get another cup and help Ovi beat Gretzky record or blow it up and look to trade Ovi at next years deadline.

Agreed - in a very odd position. Ovi isn't going anywhere (from a Business perspective, Ted wouldn't ever let that happen no matter what; nor should he for that matter). I like McMichael as a middle six guy but don't see a high-end ceiling (and that's OK). My hope is that with the amount of cap flexibility this summer (Backy LTIR, potentially Osh as well) that GMBM can get creative. He's racked up a bunch of 2nds and 3rds over next two drafts so let's see what he can do with the wiggle room + hopefully another step for the young guys like Miro, McM, Lappy, Pro, etc. Think Leonard is really our only untouchable prospect (maybe Miro too?) but as you said, we lack an abundance of top tier players in the pipeline. Should be an interesting summer!
