I imagine NJD would decline. The 5th probably needs to be a better pick for acceptance given the poor offensive year Dickenson is having.

The gardiner trade probably depends are Gardiner injury status. If he is cleared to return, then Carolina could use the cap relief. At the same time, if he is going to be on LTIR then I don’t see how it benefits them to add Poolman.

The ducks trade seems like a lateral move but I’m not sure if Anaheim would go for it

If the NJD deal Pavel Zacha it's for Conor Garland and nothing else.

Jersey declines that.

Or Zacha+ for Boeser

Ducks easily and quickly decline

Right either one, I meant to mention either one.

Why on earth would Anaheim even think about this

It's easy to stay good when you rob other teams blind

Zacha could definitely be a number 2-3 piece in a Garland trade.

Despite his awful start this year due to injuries, Comtois has similar numbers over his career as Pearson (both at 0.45 ppg, best year both had around 0.6 ppg), but Comtois is 6 years younger.

We'll take the 6-year head start.

Pavel Zacha has a combined 29 goals between last season and this current season. Dickinson has a career 28 goals.

I don’t think NJ would have any interest in Dickinson
