that first line WOULD be fun...

This team would be in the playoffs as long as Hudson doesn’t play like crap. Also would be in cap hell next year with Tage, Cozens needing new contracts.

If you wanna do the Philly one, it's fine. Krebs gers moved to center, and we lose the benefit of a small competition between mittelstadt and Krebs for that third center spot. Most likely, whoever we pick at nine ends up taking that third center spot eventually anyways, with Krebs back on the wing. I don't love trading olofsson for a marginal upgrade on the wing, you are paying a premium in extra assets for the privilege, and then you get to pay fiala considerably more in salary. It doesn't matter, Minnesotas gm has said he wants a first and a very good young center for fiala (think cozens not mittelstadt), so Minnesota likely declines regardless.

Edit- didn't see the kadri signing, I kinda like that, I'm good the the Philly trade. Be interesting to see how Thompson does this year, I think his shooting percentage doubled his career average, but it's not so crazy high that he can't do it again.

Kevin Fiala will get close to $8,000,000 x 8 years.

Kris Letang wants $9,000,000 x 4 years

And Nazem Kadri $8,500,000 x 6-7 years.

Barzal?

Yeah sorry wrong team, Getting Buffalo and the Isles mixed up for some reason.

Philly accepts.

Sabres roster looks really good here but hoping Kadri works out for you guys… that’s a lot of cash imo

Minnesota declines and say no
