so only reason Id say no on the ana-tb trade is that 1st is practically gonna be a 2nd. So yea I pass.

Cirelli alone doesn't get you Dumba, Vegas definitely doesn't have the cap for Johnson. Doubt many contenders can afford his 4 x $5,000,000.

The pick will be so late I don’t think it’s worth it for th e ducks

MTL has 3rd and 4th line players galore, they don't need another. That's not a knock on Paquette, it's more about the Habs needs.

Except it's for one year of Johnson if the acquiring team wants to go that way. It can be any team he'd waive to, as I said, not just Vegas. The only reason Minnesota isn't adding is because of the retention, Tampa would never add to Cirelli to get Dumba, not a chance. 2C's of his caliber and with his potential are worth more than a 2nd pairing RD
