Islanders don’t need more defence. Maybe switch the trade to Winnipeg or the leafs

To be cap compliant with Calgary you'd have to retain on Nyquist and probably take some cap back. Nyquist with 50% retained to Calgary for Derek Ryan and Valimaki? Might be a little pie-in-the-sky there but I'm sure they'd like some help affording Tkachuk next season.

Not sure what kind of cap space Detroit has for next season but if they could score a prospect like Valimaki for taking a bit of cap dumpage like Derek Ryan that'd be pretty good for them.

I don't get why everyone is on the trade Jensen trade. He'll be a solid, experienced defenseman as the rebuild progresses. He's only 28 and will most likely be affordable (maybe 4 mil). If you trade him, its for a 2nd round and no less. Him and Howard together should be worth a 1st and future 2nd. Or at least it doesn't make sense to take less than that for him in my opinion. And with that being said, would CBJ want to pay for Howard as a rental? They are a fringe playoff team at best, and would be on the outside looking in if they trade Panarin. If they are interested in him that much, just make a run for him in July.

Calgary is a great fit for Nyquist and a 1st is fair for him. Kronwall isn't getting traded and will retire a Red Wing at the end of the year.
