Henrique would add some speed and has a wicked shot which I think could bode well with Kessel. Not sure how long Kessel sticks on the 3rd line, but a line combo of Pearson-Henrique-Kessel would be lethal. He has already had 4 20 goal seasons, obviously playing more top6 minutes in NJ. Anaheim might not want him to move anywhere, but this would also open up the option to sign Brass to a contract (albeit he plays well in ANA). Still under 30 and locked up for 5 more years at a good AAV. Losing a 1st round pick sucks but they would need to since Brassard is on an expiring contract. If there's no interest, the team keeps Brassard & their 1st, which is fine.

I can see Oleksiak in EDM because they can still use another defensemen and they wouldn't be coughing up a lot to get a big, offensive-minded left shot dman that can play either side and can score. Not really a huge-risk/huge reward deal involved, but obviously a better option than Brandon Manning or Benning.

Would still like to unload JJ so Pettersson can play with Letang/Maatta/Schultz, but I suspect this won't be much of an option until Seattle expansion.


Cheers!
