Thread: Not Done
Would it really cost Boqvist *and* and a 2nd to get Backlund as a rental? And I really don't know what Vladar's value is, or if he really has any.

I'm a fan of pivoting to Backlund rather than Lindholm. He's a great 1C filler to give Fantilli some breathing room. And if he's willing to sign short-term on a team friendly-deal, all the better. I also prefer to move Boqvist rather than Peeke - Boqvist is an offensive-D who needs to play higher in the lineup, which is jsut not going to happen with Severson and Jiricek breathing down his neck. Peeke can excel in a sheltered third pairing role.

Vladar fits the bill of what we need - a G insurance policy, but I'm not sure Jarmo will trade for a $2.2M G jsut to bury him, and with Tarasov and Elvis not waivers-exempt, it'll be a tricky game (although I think there is a real chance Elvis could be put on waivers to be sent down to CLE to find his game if he struggles).

It'll be interesting to see if CGY pivots and moves their UFAs. I still think they go into the season with everyone, and wait until the TDL to see whether they have a shot or not.
