Habs need a top 9 centre. Full stop.

At only 24, and having shown signs of top 6 potential, here we have a player that can grow with the core and do so on a reasonable deal.

Not a Hawks fan, but...... looking at that line up, Armia becomes such a great fit on the 3rd line. Money is pretty Jake, and Armia is under 30 on a reasonable term. His game really fits nicely with what the Hawks have going on.

Still in rebuild mode, Detroit is likely to move Leddy. Solid enough two way defenders who can most definitely do things offensively. Good candidate to resign to a similar deal.

Kulak basically goes to Detroit to fill the roster spit (and given that contract a very movable asset again). Wings have good young depth on the blueline, so I do see Leddy as a stop gap for them.

Since Strome has been acquired, I would suggest Peohling becomes expendable. I really like his game, but he also had the chance to make this team and failed. A change of scenery at this point can do him a world of good. Forward prospects is where I see the Wings being thinner..... Peohling fits an organizational need - centre.

Given Peohling's performance to this point, I think a 3rd greases the wheel here.
