-Jack Campbell's UFA rights aren't really a very valuable thing, and I'm not sure why it keeps popping up here as a trade asset. You really only want someone's UFA rights if you're trying to sign them to an 8 year deal to lower the AAV, and I can't think of any team in the league that would be thinking about giving Jack Campbell an 8 year deal. I think you *can* get Puljujarvi's RFA rights for a pick from Edmonton, I think you just gotta aim it a little higher than a 4th. But you sure as hell aren't signing him for 2x$1.75M once you get him in town.
-Talbot should be somewhat available, and can probably be had for a 3rd and a prospect. I can't see them taking back Holl right now though - they've got a pretty full D corps and that $2M cap hit can be better used finding a new backup goalie to replace Talbot. Throw Holl to a team looking to upgrade RD3 and you'll at least recoup a 4th round pick from them.
-I just can't see CBJ making this deal. It's one thing for them to try and put a claim in on Ryan McDonagh, because they would've paid -zero- assets for him then. If all McDonagh got back for Tampa was a 6/7th D and a C-tier prospect, why do you think Columbus gives up a full blown roster player and downgrades their 2023 1st into a 2024 2nd for Jake Muzzin?
-I don't see the Devils making a move for Kerfoot unless they move one of their other wingers out. I think the value's a little rich here, too - Nolan Foote is a somewhat recent 1st round pick who put up solid numbers in the AHL this year, so his value is probably close to that of a 2nd rounder, and then you have a conditional 4th being thrown in. I think you can maybe convince the Devils to give up Nolan by himself but they don't need to add to get 1 year of Alex Kerfoot.
