Luke Schenn was a scuffed-up pylon vs dumpster-fire DET - his value is squat.

interesting JP trade.
Don't like the Boston one tho. We get back two cap dumps for a player on the rise and a valuable rental dman. A later first to take on two cap dumps whilst giving up two quality pieces doesn't suffice imo. Best to keep it simple with just Smith and a 2nd for Schenn.

Zero interest in garland.

Don't see how a buyout candidate and a 7th d-man is worth a first, even with "dumping" Reilly and Smith who are both legit NHLers who may make like 1 mill more than they should at this point....

add 50% retention on garland for a mid level pick or prospect and its a deal
