As far as the Expansion Draft, Hartnell waives his NMC and the Jackets protect Anderson. And with the numerous of goalies to choose from and the need to fulfill the requirements of the expansion draft, Vegas selects Karlsson because he is under contract for next season.

The 3 way trade really makes too much sense. The Stars who really are hurting for a top pair defenseman get Murray. They also receive a left wing prospect in Milano.

The Avs pick up the 3OA pick. The Avs are rebuilding and Duchene doesn't fit into the plans. Sakic has stated he wants a young NHL defenseman in return but the supply is just not there. So acquiring the 3OA gives them back to back picks and the ability to select the two promising defensemen to add to the rebuild. The Jackets also send Dean Kukan, and young left side defenseman, to the Avs.

The Jackets get a right handed shot defenseman who can help solidify the right side on the third pair. Allowing the Jackets to continue to develop Carlsson in Cleveland. The crown jewel of this trade is the Jackets get their top center in Duchene. He not only boosts the Jackets with his speed but also helps improve two of the Jackets biggest areas for improvement: power play and faceoffs.
