Arizona needs more, have to prove to the guys sticking around, that they are taking steps forward and not selling again.

Granlund is a non-starter, he is not going to bounce back and there is no reason to take on his contract to buy it out. Sounds like a Pittsburg problem. POJ was a toss in on the Kessel trade to begin with, had little value then and still has little value. Hard pass from AZ.

I like POJ but adding granlund kills this. POJ + good asset gets veg, I dont see anyone even taking POJ + granlund for bag of pucks. 2yrs @ 11m cash is killer.

I like the UFA names - although probably a bit light on Bunting, Kampf and Engvall.

Calling Vejmelka a great goalie is certainly a take though lol. I'd try to use the extra cap to get a clear number one. There's a lot of risk going on here goalie wise

The Grunland buyout is 800k then 1.8 mil.... its not that bad, and to call POJ a "throw in".... he was the focal point of the deal and is a clear top 4 D man on any team that isn't stuck like we are because of our right side being too offensive. I get if you want to leave Grunland out, but if you don't think POJ for Vejmelka straight up is fair than **** it we pass too. I probably wouldn't give up POJ for Vejmelka without a sweetener anyway

Huh...POJ was a weak pick in one of the weakest drafts and was the sweetener added to Galchenyuk for Kessel trade. He has done well, all things considered, but POJ is far from a primary asset. If you feel POJ holds considerable value then cool but in a trade valuation calculus he is a minor asset. I don't think Vejmelka is considerably more valuable (won't really know until he plays about 100 NHL games) but at present there is a greater value on a 1B goaltender then a 5/6 defenseman.
