Reason for jets to make this deal simply put bigger stronger younger better option for top nine minutes with an extra year of term.
Reason for Edmonton to make this deal is to open a top nine spot for Holloway while opening just enough cap flexibility to have a 23 man roster going down the stretch. Gagner was specifically targeted here mainly for his off ice presence what he brings to the locker room and his work ethic. Kinda a depth glue guy with some skill.
Philly trade is fairly straight forward Braun is my ideal depth target to provide insurance on the right side and give woodcroft a wide range of flexibility.
The big change I've made here with the lines is on d.
While most I see either pay to move Barrie which is beyond foolish to me or try to basically shelter to the point he has no chance of helping the team. I'm going in the opposite direction pairing back up with nurse. Doing this because did like the chemistry between them in the past also larger bulk of his ice time should be with the top six which has excellent forward support on the back check. Should minimize the areas he struggles at times while putting him back in a position to be more productive 5-5. Let the pp chemistry leak into 5-5 game.
All 3 pairings you could list in whatever order I'd expect 16-18 minutes a night from all 5-5 they each have a similar level of importance towards the teams overall success.
I've said this before we even signed Campbell who ever Edmonton brings in as a goalie will be skinners back up by deadline. He's the real deal.
