Thread: make it happen this week
I don’t think we should get Chiarot. Holland did say he won’t trade the first, which is a little annoying so oh well. I would like Edmundson, but again the first thing blocks it. I personally think we should trade our first, especially if we want to become a good team. You see all the good teams trading their firsts for good players all the time. I see the only guy that we would be able to get that plays that defensive defence man role is Carson Soucy. He is a very good guy to have, only makes 2.75M for 2 years including this year. He can play on the second pair for us with Ceci, and then we can shift Keith down to the third pair, so he doesn’t have to take on so many minutes. Soucy can help our horrible PK unit, which is in 17th place in the whole league. He is a big guy that is 6’5, 211lbs, that has 58 hits in 30 games. We could use a guy that can hit all around, especially when the other team enters the zone. It makes too much sense to trade for him. I’m guessing his value would maybe be Tyson Barrie, fourth for Carson Soucy. The fourth is for Barrie only being a offensive defence man, and having the larger contract. We could upgrade the pick to a third if necessary.

Dallas still has to shed roughly $3M in salary cap BEFORE they can put Bishop on LTIR. If he can trade him relatively soon, Nill would still hold a little bit of leverage in a Khudobin trade; that could allow him to gain a mid round pick in return, but the longer he waits to move Khudobin, the less leverage he has in any trade until it gets to the point in the offseason where teams know Dallas HAS to move him in order to get under the cap ceiling. If/When that happens, Dallas likely has to pay in order to move Khudobin.
