Regardless of his play in recent time, teams always have a little bit of interest in former 20 goal scorers. The Devils will be a team with some cap space, and being able to acquire Ennis for a late round pick could be a gamble that would pay off for them. If not, no worries.

NSH gets a 3rd liner, a bottom pairing defenseman, a 2nd and 4th round pick in 2018, and fixes a possible expansion problem (keeping Subban, Josi, Ekholm, and Ellis would only let them keep 4 forwards).

Girgensons just hasn't fit well with Bylsma's system, so a change of scenery could give him a bit of a spark. Carrier is the main prospect in the deal, with some good upside. Stephens could end up being a solid bottom pairing defensemen after breaking out in juniors this year. MIN would also get a 1st and 3rd from BUF. Allows the Wild to resign Hanzal and protect Parise (NMC), Koivu (NMC), Pominville (NMC), Staal, Granlund, Neiderreiter, Hanzal, Suter (NMC), Brodin, Dumba, Dubnyk.

Along with MIN 2017 2nd Round Pick.
Keep in mind that Vegas is in need of salary. They will most likely be trying to find young players with upside in the draft, and they will need a few players on larger contracts to meet requirements. The 2nd round pick entices them to make one of those players Zach Bogosian.

Having Gorges for 1.8 million could help STL shore up bottom pairing/ 7th d-man cheaply
