how many A do you think a team can give you?

Seattle should be compensated for taking JVR, T.Johnson, and even Oshie. Those contracts are bad.

I think Colorado convinces Eric Johnson to Waive NMC to protect Graves. Johnson costs Tampa Bay a minimum of a 3rd. T. Johnson 9 jerseys will be popular hometown kid and a Stanley Cup champ 3rd about right

Why isn’t James Neal on this team? That’s the only way you get jones. Otherwise he is protected.

How are Tanev, Oshie, Jones and Buch here

No they won’t they will convince him to waive to protect Toews and go 7-3-1, they won’t play games with Landeskog’s extension to do 4-4-1. COL is stacked on the blue line for 21-22 with Makar, Girard, Toews, Byram, Timmins, and Johnson (assuming the above). Gilbert (part of the Saad trade) could be a serviceable 7th and then they STILL have Baron and Helleson in the pipeline.
