Boy, now THERE's a bold thought!

Whether you like it or not, you have to give the man credit for imagination!

Canes do not want Edmundson back, you keep him

Reilly for Evans…maybe. Reilly for Pitlick sure. Otherwise no. Boston has to shed cap not add to it, and they have half dozen Evans type guys in the system.

Hughes wanted to claim Reilly, did not have the cap space. Something like this could work for both teams.

Gm fireable offense, but definitely bold, not sure Jones waiving but pretty sure chicago jumping

Jones isn't waiving for Montreal

Not sure i would trade this year 5th pick to rush the rebuild...

Yeah. I wouldn't mind moving him, but I also doubt he waives for MTL. I also think CHI would want a bit more. I know we won't get back everything we gave up for him, but I still think a little more is warranted.

That is a sunk cost., indeed.
You wont get back a guy like Jiricek let alone the other pieces including Boqvist. Same as the Habs arent getting back a 1st and 2nd for Dvorak.

I mean the Habs arent the type of team to even be in position to trade for him, deep in a rebuild. Not sure what Jones can return. You are looking for something between the Yotes got for OEL and whatever the Sharks get for EK65

Zero chance the Jets wait until 25 for the only part of the deal with any value to them.

I don't know that could give Chicago 2 picks in the top 5 but definitely 2 picks in the top 7 with the standings right now. I'm not sure Chicago could do better without retention. It won't happen but given where Chicago is right now that would be a huge boost to their rebuild and as the standings are now it would give Chicago a 20% chance at that top pick.
