Asplund for Tyce could be an option in off-season. A solid defensive forward may be a good addition to our lineup. But this year, barring an injury, it’s hard to see how we add without putting someone on waivers.

But for 2023-24, count me in.

Klingberg? A rental? Yuck.

Not sure why you are interested in Kling but we're sure we can get a better offer for him.

Habs pass

Random trade. Montreal Passes IMO, they don't need another prospect goalie.

Since Habs don’t want Portillo, how about Tyce Thompson for him? I like Portillos upside and unlike these fellow habs fans, I believe you can never have too many good goalie prospects.

I think Buffalo would accept Tyce Thompson for Portillo. It doesn't look like he will be signing with Buffalo and I know the Sabres want to try and get something back for him.

I believe Portillo has made it known he will likely return to Michigan for one more year and enter pro hockey as a free agent. Maybe he signs with club that owns rights to 1/2 of his defensive corps. Interesting idea.

Ryan Johnson is in same boat, but is protected by a compensatory pick.

Didn’t realize Portillo was willing to walk himself to free agency. It certainly changes things but if he was willing to sign with the Devils I’m all for it.

Not a fan of using assets to get rentals
