With Kilngberg more then likely leaving Dallas will need a replacement. Barrie would fit well in Dallas as a play driver, he has a similar stat line to Kilngberg and a similar contract with 2 years left on term. It would make sense for Dallas to pursue him. Gurianov is an RFA next season and could use a change of scenery, Edmonton will need a replacement for Puju so Gurianov would be a good fit.

Barrie has been a liability on Edmonton for a few years now. His contract is also problematic and needs to be moved.

Pure cap dump. The 3rd is a throw in and is just a sweetener

Kassian's contract has a strangle hold over Edmonton and needs to be dumped.

Seattle is a rebuilding team who hopes to contend within the next 3-5 years at the least. Taking on bad contracts at this time is a good thing. Foegele himself isn't complete garbage, he's a solid bottom 6forward who gets 20-30 points a season. I think that's worth a 2ndrd pick at most + they have multiple already and will get more.

In my opinion Foegele gets to much hate. However, his contract is awful and needs to go.

The habs have lots of picks in the coming years and will no doubt get more. Puju still has lots of potential and could be a replacement for Anderson if he gets packaged for a higher pick.

Puju has no spot on the Edmonton roster anymore. He has to be traded while there is still some value.

Player swap and a higher pick. Its a win-win.

Ryan Derek's contract is good, but Edmonton will still need more cap space. Bringing in a cheaper replacement is an all-around good idea.
