s it possible to keep necas jarvis and guentzel

It is, but you don't pay Jarvis this year regardless. You bridge him. A trade for Middleton makes no sense because Nikishin will be available by the end of the season, and at that point, you're just waiting assets. Re-sign TDA (whose been INCREDIBLE this postseason) and have him instead of Carrier, find a placeholder for Nikishin until the end of the year, and fill out the bottom six with pieces better than Labanc.

Chicago has plenty of late round picks. I think they'd rather keep the retention slot and put it to better use later.

That blueline is awful
