i would do that Seattle trade imo

I think Seattle would be more inclined if they don’t retain too which we don’t need in this case anyway since you left plenty of cap space. The offer id make is same on SEA side besides no retention and then add Kostin from us. That way it’s pretty neutral when they receive a prospect who has NHL experience and a 23rd for two seconds. I’d also sign Holtby or instead of Jesse get like Samsonov for Barbashev. Also bring up Neighbours.

Id wait a year on Jake until we decide what to do with VT and ROR

Possibly. I think if it were up to me. A decent lineup would be

Saad - ROR - DP57 (resigns $3.5M x 2)
Buch - Thomas - VT
Neighbours - Schenn - Kyrou
Walker - Barby - Torp

Krug - Faulk
*Acquire* - Parayko
Peru/Meeks - Bort

Binnington - Holtby (signs for $2M x 1)

We would only move Scandella really. If we move on from Perunovich it should be for a solid LD for the future like a Chychrun or Sergachev maybe since Tampa will be strapped for cash.
