Too many pieces coming in and out. Adams will make a few tweaks but I believe this is to much. I don’t think they are getting rid of Joki or UPL. I feel 1 Fwd bottom 6 and 1 D man 4/5 from UFA. Adams likes the youth to play

I think the Pens would take that deal.

Now that's a d-core

probs right, this is what i would prefer though.

Can only hope your wrong and adams relize his job is to build a stanley cup contender not sit on his hands and see if his team just turns into one.

Seattle gets a backup who might play better with an (arguably) better defensive team in front of him, and he fits Seattle's plans wonderfully, in line to be in his prime for Beniers' and Wright's primes. They also get a middle/bottom pair pp2 offensive defenseman.

If Seattle moves Schultz, which they will if that trade is offered, they're accepting without hesitation. I'd try and get a bit more out of them in fact, you can probably land Nyman (about a B grade winger prospect) if you add a 4th or you can add a prospect like Ryan Johnson and lower the 3rd to a 4th. UPL may not have played great this season but you can probably sell him like an A grade goalie prospect, and Jokiharju is a middle pairing offensive defense, if you use the Gostisbehere trade as a comparable and compensate for Jokiharju's younger age, better contract, and RFA status, I doubt he lands less than a second on his own. I'm a UPL and Jokiharju hater, and I still think this trade would help Seattle out a lot.

Not sure your UFA signs work. Both severson and bertuzzi should get better offers. Roy seems a little pricy to trade for and then pay next year to be a 5th dman. Can't say enough on here planning on levi to be great without anything behind or really in front of him is foolish when you can keep UPL and Comrie (or upgrade from them) and save Levi as an option in rochester. Subban isnt coming in to save our post season if levi turns out to not be the youngest nhl ready goalie since Fluery.
