<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>I get that, it's hard to get a good roster player without giving up a good roster player or prospect. Roy and Pesce would be the obvious targets this year, I just don't see LA or Carolina not extending them; they'd be a priority for either team. Minnesota likely isn't moving Spurgeon. Even if Faber makes him expendable, he's already 34, I just don't know that the Leafs view that as a long-term 1RD option. </div></div>

LA really can't afford to keep Roy, I think there is a very good chance he gets traded before the draft for a mid round pick the same way Severson was last year. From what I can tell is that Carolina and Pesce are not close, we could definitely see a divorce there.

Toronto simply isn't going to trade Knies. And because of this Calgary isn't going to trade them Andersson. Toronto just doesn't have enough quality in prospects (if he still counts as one) past that to warrant a player like Andersson, and Calgary is probably more inclined to keep Andersson anyways.

Minnesota probably won't move Spurgeon but they are in cap hell still and his huge contract is not helping them at all. On top of that he becomes far more moveable on July 1st as his Full NMC changes to a 10 team no trade list. I think it is a very real possibility that Minnesota opts to change the direction of their team this summer, especially if they miss the playoffs. And as you mentioned the emergence of Faber has really made that possible. Spurgeon still has a lot of name power around the league. But due to his injury, age, and term I don't think his trade value is ridiculously high. I could see a situation where Minny values the gained cap space and ability to retool more than getting a haul in return for him.
