NSH rejects -- no need to include Ekholm in that deal. Johansen for Trouba works in a vacuum, but NSH doesn't really need a RHD signed long-term at a high $$ right now -- maybe if they trade Fabbro? But I don't see that happening.

You forgot to add Laf to the Buffalo trade, you should fix that before people see it

You forgot that Kakko and Laf don’t look like top 6 players right now

Yea I hear but I can add more but it’s a good swap for both teams (given fabbaro either shifts to left or is traded)

It doesn't work for their expansion draft though -- they'd have 5 defenseman to protect: Josi, Ellis, Ekholm, Fabbro, and now Trouba. Sure they could make other deals, but that also just makes the deal more complicated.

Kakko does, laf has looked good at points as well, also not really fair to access the mmm when the players they’re playing with are legit playing like trash (other than Panarin) but I’m not sure (other than points) u could say that kakko doesn’t look good ( bc the whole team can’t score goals

This is post expansion, even if this were before u can just send the strome and co part for ekholm and make a seperate trade later
