A wee optimistic

I'd actually consider that Flames trade in a vacuum, but the Flames don't have enough cap space beyond this season to make it work. Even if we traded Dube, Kylington and Rooney, and replaced them with league minimum players, the Flames would still be short about 150k in cap space to make it work. That is even with running a 22-man roster.

Ottawa is not taking Myers unless Vancouver takes Zaitsev.

Try again.

Take Carlo out and I still wouldn't consider it

Here’s how lopsided that bruins trade is - add horvat and it’s still a hard no.

Isles aren't moving Dufour.

My issue with the trade is less with what the Isles are sending out and more with what's coming back - no interest in taking on JT Miller's 7x$8M extension

Well yeah, that too.

To add to that. Take out Carlo add a 1st and mid level prospect going to Boston the might.

Lucic is one of the worst values in the league, even at 50% retained. Zero interest in him. He’s a liability .

Isles decline easily. Boston declines. CGY shouldn’t touch that. Now from an isles pov I’d move a 7th for stillman

Detroit declines, have no need for LD.
