That is probably the most expensive D core ever assembled. Based on that fact alone, no.
Thanks for the reply!
You have a very valid point and ARI would more than likely not be able to afford everyone on the back end. That current roster is a bit of a stretch. Given that arguement, lets ARI is able to deal Goligoski to a Cup contending team that has some cap room? And what are your thoughts on the other trades?
My reasoning for the STL trade is that Schwartz needs a change of scenery and would be a top 6 forward on a team lacking offesense, playing in ARI. Playing for ARI could spark his game again. STL is more than likely in the market to trade Allen due to Bennington's emergence as a #1 tender and would more than likely be satisfied with acquiring Kuemper, who more than proved that he is a solid backup or even 1B option this year.
WPG- Trouba and WPG have had poor negotiations in the past and it isn't a stretch to thing that they would deal him for the right price, with all of the RFA's that they are going to have to sign over the next few years. WPG might jump at the possibility to add some more youth to their back end, by adding Chychrun, who is already signed long term and give WPG more Cap flexibility. WPG may be hesitant on giving up Roslovic, but they still have good prospects in the system and more than likely won't be able to re-sign him to fair number after next season. Moving him now for assests or Cap space makes sense. Roslovic's TOI and role would increase significantly (he is currently only playing an average if 9:44 and producing exceptional numbers given that ice-time) and he brings everything that ARI needs-skill, speed, and ability to contribute on the PP.
