Went Wughes Ideas

Mailloux, Savard, Kovacevic, room for Reinbacher maybe Guhle. There is no spots left on the right for Barron and he cant be sent down w/o waivers. Rubber meets the road

Buffalo cant attract free agents and they have too many LHD. Bandaids on the right in Erik Johnson and Connor Clifton were a disaster that ended up in a weirdly timed trade for Byram @TDL and giving away their most productive center. Thompson will be 'healthy' and they have to stop this endless collection of assets and actually pay a price to improve.

Another deal in the vein of Newhook. Not sure he's what MTL needs but it's a Hughes move to buy low here as Russo confirmed that Rossi is being shopped.

Evans is a lesser Ross Colton that can play on your pk with great speed and playoffs pedigree. Mesar just had a brilliant OHL playoffs campaign where he is 2nd in scoring and the Wild need offence.

My personal favourite. I'd overpay here in a second

Habs get their stability at 3rd line center with the local kid

Kraken get 4 years younger with cap savings at same term
