<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>t0mat0</b></div><div>Sure... lets trade away 22 year old Nylander with years left of team control, who had back to back 61 point season, for a goalie we waived earlier in the year and 30 year old wayne simmonds who never in his career has surpassed nylanders 61 points and is about to hit a steep decline into the twilight of his career. Hes not going anywhere but downhill. That would be worse than the Taylor hall trade. As for the other trade. I'd rather just resign Gardiner.</div></div>

I just don't want to lose Nylander for nothing... and we waived Pickard not because we wanted to.
I think Simmonds has some left in the tank. If signed now, he could be a cheap 2nd/3rd line option (and would provide some muscles and experience)

Vatanen is signed for 2 more years below 5M.

With all this, it could clear the path for signing Marner - Matthews - Kapanen.

Anyway, that was my thinking.
