Every trade is getting sweetheart deal for Mtl & assuming more then 3 teams (Philly, maybe NJ & NYI) have a shot at Gaudreau. Even with all that considered, player in/out comparing start of 2021 season they are not significantly better (worse on defense, better on forward, significantly worse in goal). So if this all went perfectly they would have a bad team still? If trying to be bad why make soo many dramatic changes or bring in big FA?

Edmonton already is expected to have a goalie on ltir no thanks

Johnny declines harder than the Hawks are tanking.

That would be a huge gift to Colombus, they match and gets 4 years of Dubois instead of 2

Jets would definitely match that Dubois offer sheet. Four years of Dubois at a good price instead of a 1st and a 3rd would work for the Jets.

Wings pass

Where is Columbus in this?

Winnipeg sorry
