bit of an overpayment for Kubalik in my opinion, Ottawa would rather buyout White since its gonna be cheaper (878K) than retaining 975K and keep Thomson just trade picks for Kubalik if they want to get him

cheaper to buyout sure, but twice as long.

Yeah but then they'd keep Thomson, or use him to trade for a much better top 6 or top 4 players

Wouldn't mind these moves, I'll give you a rarity on this site: good job!

The Kings trade is fair value. But they are trying to add a player like Debrincat to play with Kempe. It would be counter productive. I dont know if Chicago gets rid of Debrincat for a lateral move as far as age goes either. Probably want more futures.

Id like to see Kempe and Wagner replaced with Clarke, I think it would be a stretch for us to use a 2nd on a goalie but seems this scenario your not going the conventional rebuild apart from the fact you've put Turcotte at 2C and Raddysh on the 4th line.

Can’t see Devils moving Blackwood for that.
Think he’ll be back to his old self if he can play injury free for once.
