I may have already asked you this, but would you be interested in Anders Nilsson or James Reimer as an upgrade over Niemi in goal?

Possibly, but I would have had Montoya at the time. I just traded for Niemi. Might take another look at the deadline, but I like how has been performing so far.

Even the games at the start of the season?

Anyways just wanted to point out that Sergachev has played 40 games, so I don't know what that does with your pick.

No. Just the games in Montreal. Pick is taken care of. It's in the bottom of my description. I can't trade with Montreal to add it to my team in the right spot.

Didn't see that. Ok, sorry.

Niemi? If Price gets hurt, your season is over. Want Alex Stalock?

Also, any interest in a 50% retained Mikko Koivu?

No thanks on Koivu. Waiting on TDL and roster expansion before I consider a 3rd string goalie. We'll see then. Chances are I go with another vet.

Would depend what you're looking for and whether I trade Schlemko.
I'd like to move Schlemko for a prospect or pick and acquire a RHD. Benn plays either side, so I'd like to have a 3 LHD and 3 RHD balance in the rest of my defense.

Ok sounds good. Once Schlemko is moved, you could acquire Gudbranson as the third part of a three way deal between Edmonton and I. Price would roughly be a 2019 3rd. Let me know if interested.

That would be out of my price range, as he'd be a 7th dman for insurance more than anything.

What price would you be willing to pay? He’d be the 3rd RHD to maintain L-R balance no?

I'll have to think about it. Barberio would move into Schlemko's place and that would be my top 6. Benn would replace anyone injured and Gudbranson would slide into 3 RHD.
Depends on the return I get on Schlemko.

I am. Depends on what kind of deal.
Eller+ for Danault or Schlemko for Eller and maybe some minor pieces involved both ways.
Roster players and salary have to be involved or I wouldn't have room for him anyway.

I'm mainly looking for prospects and picks for him but a roster player can be added if you want cap to get close. Besides Danault and Schlemko, who are you willing to deal? Would you be willing to move Byron+ or Kase+?

I value all my players more than Eller, with the exception of Winnik, Froese, Prince and Hartnell.

I might be willing to do Schlemko, Froese and Kevin Roy for Eller and Mayfield. Term and a prospect with some NHL experience in exchange for a couple of rentals.

I don't want to acquire a center within this deal, going to call up one of the NHL ready ones that I have in the AHL, and I don't think I will be dealing Mayfield, going to extend him when allowed to. How about Schlemko, Roy, an unsigned prospect (don't know which of your prospects that your willing to deal) and a 2018 4th for Eller and Siemens?

Schlemko, Roy, Hartnell for Eller and Carrick maybe?
If not, we might be too far apart. It also leaves me with more centers than necessary, so I'd have to move someone somewhere else. Let me know and I'll have to think it over a bit and see what my options are.

I might be dealing Carrick at the end of the month so I'm going to hold onto him for now. How about Schlemko, Roy, Vejdemo and a 2018 6th for Lars Eller and Seidenberg?

Still doesn't work. One of my current forwards has to be involved with Schlemko, and Roy is the prospect I'm willing to include. (Vejdemo I won't be moving regardless).
The D man has to be a serviceable NHL 7th RHD.

If neither of Mayfield or Carrick are available, we're down to Schlemko and Froese or Hartnell plus a 5th in 2019 for Eller. I don't have room for Eller otherwise.
If I'm able to move out one of my centers elsewhere, I can replace the forward and 5th on my end with Roy.
I don't see any other way to balance things out without overpaying for a rental, which is something I don't need to do.

If the prospect is the problem, I can see who else I have available, but I consider him the best of what I do have to offer.

So the current offer is Schlemko, Froese, and a 2019 5th for Eller, correct? If so, is it possible for the pick to be in 2018 and an unsigned prospect to be added? Those there are my only problems with this deal. If we can get something worked out there then that would be great.

Not worth moving alone, but if you really want him, a 4th next year. Otherwise I'll probably hang onto him.
