Quoting: Wildwinswhen
We have no cap space, so we have to trade for futures. He's got one year of RFA, but no contract next year, so that's hard to determine value of just the rights to him.
Personally, I'd want two midrange pics and maybe a conditional the following year. Or something like 2nd'/3rd Rd and a C prospect or LD prospect. I don't think we'll be able to get a haul like we did for Zucker (1st, player, and prospect). So be wary of anyone proposing that.
Got a few options for you...
LD Nikita Okhotiuk - physical, two-way LD, currently is top d-man on Devils AHL team, who are currently 10-0 with 1.8 GA/g
LD Michael Vukojevic - a bit of a size/speed/skills raw package that is a project d-man (also childhood friend of Jack Hughes, so maybe we shouldn't).
C Jesper Boqvist - an offensive C that has been a tweener (lights up AHL, hasn't found his groove in NHL).
C Fabian Zetterlund - two-way C making his NHL debut tomorrow. Added 20 lbs in off-season and has been point-per-game so far this year in AHL
C Nate Schnarr - Big body bottom-6er who is blocked by McLeod for 4th line C. Also point-per-game this year. (But is kinda slow).
C/RW - Graeme Clarke - Brandt's bro. Mostly offense, wicked shot, great skating, has dealt with injury woes in recent years (and also, childhood friend of Jack Hughes).
Any of those guys work?
