If you are going to give jones to Seattle add a 3rd pick and make them take Neal. There’s no point wasting a protection on Klefbom, protect Nurse, Jones, Bear and then you will have some leverage. I understand the sentimental attachment to Klefbom but can he even complete his contract? I don’t think Seattle picks him and if they did would it be that bad? He plays 60 games a year on a good year they can’t depend on him anyway.

If Klefbom retires, then you can protect Jones. Even if he doesn't, it may make more sense to protect Jones instead of Klefbom.

I realize you're saying ANY TEAM but for the record, Ottawa would decline.

McCabe is fantastic, but the Sabres have also been really good, theyre going to resign him
