Puljujarvi is out a chunk of the season for double hip surgery recovery.

Zadina wants to go somewhere he has a real shot at the lineup and being developed, otherwise he would have stayed in Detroit.

Comtois is probably your only option.

agree boston would prefer not to trade carlo. however, you dont think there’s any merit in swapping out a 2RHD for a bonafide 1C? i just made an ACGM discussing that with boston and winnipeg lol

No

Comtois stinks. Would rather play Beecher, Lauko etc in a bottom-six role. Puul is out for a while with an injury. Think there may be some legs to Zadina, but he's going to want to go somewhere where he will play in a decent role every game. Not sure Boston can offer that

for Zadina to have a middle 6 role his competition essentially would be JVR for 2nd or 3rd line LW. i'm sure if he really wanted to he could put together a good chunk of games so Monty would take a look at him with Zacha and Pasta.

i think he'd be a good option on a 1 year low money prove it deal.
