I highly doubt Wheeler waives his NMC to play in Chicago. And if he did, Hawks will want something good to take on that $8m cap hit for next season.

Canucks decline. Garland could definitely be available for a trade. However, there is no chance Bear is moved. He was just acquired for super cheap, the Canucks are already extremely thin on RHD, and Bear has become one of our best defensemen since being acquired

Canucks pass easily

They're not interesting for Winnipeg, they're terrible. The Jets obviously turn down all of them.

Silfverberg is more useful to us than Schmidt would be, has a lower cap hit, and the $300,000 difference in salary doesn't make up for the fact that Schmidt has two seasons left instead of one. Anaheim has an easy pass.

Avs wouldn't be able to afford to extend Dubois so that's a no.

To add to what @TJTwolf said the difference between girard and PLD is not a first.
