Willing to deal any pending UFA, healthy scratch, or taxi squad player if you think they'd upgrade any part of your team. Same for all pending AHL free agents. Check TRADE BLOCK for specifics.
Interested in acquiring picks, reserve list prospects, players on ELCs, and guys with cheap term remaining + RFA expiry.
Ideally would like to focus on one order of business at a time, with the current objective being acquiring more picks for prospects. DM if interested.

Editing previous trade to allow myself to get my 2022 7th back.
Previous trade was 2024 VGK 3rd to CAR for 2022 CBJ 7th and 2022 CAR 7th to VGK on January 23 2022. Changing that to this to reflect me getting my 2022 7th back.
Listening to offers on Nino Niederreiter! UFA at seasons end. Cap hit is $5.25M.
As of February 18th, Nino has 24 points in 41 games this season, and had 34 points in 56 games last season.
Nino has 2.90 GM game points, which ranks 110th among forwards, and 166th overall among all players.
Willing to negotiate on the asking price. Will keep player and UFA extend him if I don't get the offer I'm looking for. DM MelnykMustGo on twitter!
edit: continually updating this post as I go, also listening to offers on Ian Cole, Sam Gagner, Robert Hagg.
edit: ignore the Nino stuff, he's been traded. Make offers for Cole, Gagner, and Hagg though.
edit: ignore all of this, just look at trade block
F Victor Rask. Pending UFA. $2M cap hit (previously retained by MIN). 14 points in 31 games this season. 1.42 game score, which ranks 345th among forwards. (345/32=10.7)
D Nick Holden. Pending UFA. $1M cap hit (previously retained by OTT). 13 points in 59 games this season. 1.79 game score, which ranks 131st among dmen. (131/32= 4.1)
D Justin Schultz. Pending UFA. $2M cap hit (previously retained by someone). 15 points in 60 games this season. 1.86 game score, ranks 127th among dmen. (127/32= 3.9)
Looking for a 7th for Rask, a 3rd or 4th for Holden, and a 4th for Schultz. Could keep them all as my "own rentals" too.
Asking prices are open to negotiation. Stats and game scores are as of March 28th. DM @DorionMustGo on twitter!
