New year new team ellis

I dont think Nashville will accept that trade since it destroys the right side of their blueline

Switch Dermott for a 4th and Ducks accept

NSH wouldn't trade Ellis unless they are getting a legitimate upgrade on offense out of the deal, as it creates a big hole on the blue line otherwise. And if you're going to trade your number 1 RHD then you need to get something good out of it. This isn't that. Liljegren and the 1st are nice pieces, but they don't get you Ellis.

Since that Nashville trade isn't happening, we'll do Jones for Liljegren even up.

Arizona won't be trading any kind of asset without getting a draft pick this year or next, and Petan is a fringe NHLer/fourth-liner so the value of that trade is off. I'd be surprised if the Coyotes traded Crouse for anything less than a second.

and there's tricky nick petan being worth something again. and silly me thinking he was never making show again ...
