Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

1) All three players in trade with PIT are overpaid, but I think it's win-win for both sides. Preds need to change their mentality, and PIT need to save as much money as possible.
Also it is good for players, I think.
Hornqvist gets a chance to finish his carrier with his old team, and help them winning the SC. Johnson and Turris just get a chance to change the scenario, find their game and place with new teams.
What do you think about this trade?
2) VAN saves money and I do not believe Virtanen has a real chance to be their TOP-6 forward. But in NSH he has that chance. So, in my opinion it is also win-win trade. Jarnkrok can play TOP-6 role if needed, and who knows, maybe he will be much better player with new teammates.
What do you think?
3) Just classic Watson to TOR trade. It is very popular idea. And I think it is possible. I think Preds need to make more shakeups and this is one of them.

P.S. or some thoughts about next season for NSH:
If something goes wrong - NSH should(will) trade Ekholm, Bonino and maybe someone else(before trade deadline or earlier).
If Tolvy or/and Virtanen can't play in TOP-6 as all Preds organization expect - (one of them)/they can be replaced by Tomasino orl/and 2021 1st rounder(hope it will be Quinn).

If everything is fine - I think Preds should save everyone in their group and try to win SC. Yes, likely they will lose Ekholm on the expansion draft, but he is very important peace in potential SC success.
Do not think they will be much better in next few years. Likely - not.
