Thoughts for Free Agency

For the most part I like this.
I think it is a big "What If" that Jake Muzzin would go to Columbus. I'd also give Joey Anderson an opportunity for the
4th Line RW Spot.

Muzzin isn't waiving for Columbus, who aren't trading Korpisalo before the season. Columbus plays in Finland in November and they signed him to a one year deal to try to revive his career. If he's good, he's a deadline candidate. But he's not going anywhere before that unless he's total garbage and gets waived.

I think youa re pretty bang on with contract values outside Neideritter.

He game is streaky, not a PPG player, defensivley kind of meh. Inwould say he is in the neighbourhood of $5 million depending on term.

I suspect you are using Nickuskin as a comparable (which is fair), but Nickuskin's has evolved into an above average two way forward, something I don't see in Neideritter per say.

Where is the source that CBJ are interested in Muzzin?

If it were up to me, I wouldn't trade for Muzzin. McDonagh was at least going to be a "free" waiver pick-up.
