Vanicek should be had for a draft pick. Giving up Jokiharju is a bad Idea. I would also try to work Lars Eller into the trade, he would be a perfect replacement and upgrade from Cody Eakin.

5m for Marchment is a big bet, might be better off with Smith out of Vegas (might cost a bit more)

I also think they would sign Klingberg to play with Powers (they expressed their interest in acquiring a top 4 dman for this purpose). Only problem is that they might have 3 huge cap hits on the back end which might be problematic if the cap doesn't go up significantly by then

That's a bad use of a asset

Definitely don't need to trade joker for vanecek. More like a 3rd. As for Eller, don't really need him with girgensons on the team.

No need for marchment if he's just gonna block jjp. No need for kulak with all the LD we have. Also these lines are just something else.

The team could use an upgrade on the penalty kill, not to mention he also can win face-offs which Girgensons has trouble with. If nothing else he still provides just as much offense as Girgensons ever has, and there should be no world where Bjork is in the regular lineup next year.

Probably more than just a 3rd but I agree that draft picks only is the way to go for sure. Developing their D-core is definitely a priority for them, so they probably don't move Jokiharju.
