Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

This is a would't that be nice scenario, not a I think NJD or MIN would make this trade scenario. It's very unlikely to every happen, but there's been rumors about all of these in some form so why not have some fun dreaming.

Heres the thinking:
1) Gaudreau with his contract holds the most value in the NJD trade. A 1 for 1 Hall / Gaudreau trade is a no from Calgary, NJD have to add. They would only do this if they don't think they will resign him next year. The 'add' is taking on the Neal contract - which NJD may feel is a good risk for a bounce back year. To take on that salary, NJD will want to send salary back, hence Andy Greene. Stone is a good cheap 3 pair defender that can jump into the top 4 if needed at at 2MM for 1 year is a great deal and good replacement for Greene.

2) The Frolik / Zucker trade almost happened. Revisit it with a Kylington and the upgrade of a 2nd to a 1st for Min.

3) Hamonic would love to be in Winnipeg and Winnipeg would love to have Hamonic. Roslovic and a 2nd seems like the right value assuming Hamonic is signed to an extension.

Logic Flaws:
1) Maybe I am undervaluing Hall, but with only 1 year left, a huge contract likely, and injury risk, I don't know.
2) I may be over-valuing Neal. But if NJD think that last year was just a blip on an otherwise great career due to a poor team/player fit (my take on it) then this could be a great get.
