- For the record, I don't love the idea of a Chychrun trade, but it appears there is enough there from credible sources to warrant entertaining the idea of trading for him.
- The Foligno trade is one that I know some Minnesota fans will say "the GM loves him! He is the heart and soul! ____ isn't worth that!" but Foligno is in his 30s and while an effective player, he also makes $3.1m and the Wild need to clear up some cap. Foligno was always a beloved player in Buffalo because exactly why people love him in Minnesota - he works hard, does the dirty work, can add some offense, and is a good guy. I think him coming back to Buffalo fills a role that Okposo would leave if he were to retire.
- For the sake of this ACGM, I am going to say Okposo does retire, especially if they get to the playoffs. I would then have Dahlin (C), Tuch (A), and Thompson or Cozens with the additional A. It is really hard to pick between those two because Thompson is the guy while they rave about Cozens' work ethic. Both clearly are guys that work their tails off, so it would be either one of them.
- You can add a trade in with any cap-strapped team to take on a bad contract to get some draft capital back, or retain money on a trade.
