Edmonton's 3rd will be owned by CGY due to the condition in the James Neal Steal.

Jugs isn't a second line center.

As a Buffalo fan, I would only make a deal with Edmonton. If you want to suddenly trade McCabe, then try to get a Hall from New Jersey at the expense of him and other parts than to trade him for a rather average player represented by Bjugstad.

neither is mojo. we're already doing unconventional, lol.

how bout

Sheary - Eichel - Reinhart
Skinner - Johansson - Bjugstad/Roslovic
Olofsson - Mittelstadt - Bjugstad/Roslovic
Girgensons - Larsson - Okposo

you can line em up any number of ways. doesn't matter.

I get what you're saying, but I think your valuation of McCabe might be a little off. The 'parts' in your McCabe + parts for Hall idea would be something like Casey Mittelstadt and a 1st. I'd love to nab a Taylor Hall, but really all I need is some defensemen traded and not-Sobotka on the 2nd line right wing. Sabres are alright, just need some tweaks.

No, it will be a big overpayment for Hall, for a landmark you can take Mark Stone's trade in Vegas. I just don’t see that McCabe, who has just received patch A, will bargain in such a deal. It seems to me that Bjugstad can be obtained cheaper, Rodigues + 2 or 3 round for example.

McCabe >> Bjugstad and Scandella
