Let me emphasize here. This is merely a thought exercise for myself. I have zero care if you think "Calgary declines" or something. I do not want your feedback.

If you're interested, here's my thought process.

1.) I challenged myself to do this without moving Nylander or Marner. This is for two reasons. One, Nylander is excellent, probably the best RW on the roster, and the 6.9 devoted to him is anything but an albatross. Two, the Marner is an albatross and I can think of very few teams who can afford him and would give me semi-fair value. But I think what this exercise has taught me is that to sign Pietro the easiest way to afford him is to move one of these two wingers.

2.) I couldn't trade any defensemen, because the defence is still quite poor somehow.

3.) Which mean that I had to move all of the depth wingers. In these trades I tried to get players back, which made it easier to fill out the rest of my depth without having to sign Wayne Simmonds.

4.) The Johnsson trade was solely so I could have Freddy in the system playing goal.

5.) The Andersen trade is close to the rumoured one. It's probably far too steep of a price for Carolina to pay for him, but I really just wanted Jamieson Rees.
