Before I get reemed in the comments:
Jackets need a #1 center. Possibly have two soon in Kent Johnson/Cole Sillinger in a 1a/1b situation. I have no idea what Dallas needs, but I would like to gauge interest in either team on a trade between the two.

I'm a big fan of what Hintz could bring to a line with Gaudreau and Laine, but that would cost the Jackets a lot more than they would be happy with trading. However it get big fish you need to bring big bait.

That big bait is Cole Sillinger and this year's first unprotected. I think Bean is a decent young addition to that D-corps on the bottom pairing with powerplay and penalty kill potential (I had to hold 1 million for it to fit under the cap for Dallas.) The third is a little bit of a sweetener, but could be upgraded to the next year's second easily. Bemstrom is underappreciated in his defensive ability.

Adding in a goalie could be in the mix as well, but I think Tarasov has too much value as a simple addition and I think Korpisalo has to show he can return from his surgery and it was his hip causing his play to slip.
