List of players I like

Saad, Horvat, Forsberg --> Florida... All prices will be relatively high, Saad probably being the cheapest... Maybe something around Brown could be done
Little, Zetterberg, Reimer --> Minnesota... All great players, 2 players that can slot in at 2C, and a goalie if we can't land Darling in FA
Silfverberg --> Anaheim... Price will be high. Would be great at 2 RW or 2LW and could play top line if need be.
Jarnkrok --> Philly... Price will be decently high... Traded him to Philly for a 1st. Could play 2C
J.T. Miller, Zuccarello, Vesey, Ristolainen --> Carolina... all probably super pricey, could do Ellis + for Risto, so something else. Miller probably the cheapest, good 2C
Ladd --> Detroit... hoping to get some movement on that Sedin deal... at a stalemate right now
Komarov --> Boston... Good 3 LW, Mentor for JFK?
Nate Schmidt --> Columbus... Could move JJ for him? Schmidt has so much upside
Brassard, Stone --> Ottawa... Good 2C, little pricey, adds a good defensive forward. Stone could be an upgrade to Brown perhaps
Weber (possibly 50%) --> Islanders... Could upgrade JJ and have Weber as a PP specialist... Would have to include a 1st and a good prospect/roster player though
Anisimov --> Chicago... Great 2C... Probably expensive
Backlund --> Calgary... Only looking for an upgrade to which we don't have a available... Could maybe work out something different?
Eric Staal --> Winnipeg... Probably could get for Hanzal rights and a conditional pick
Johansson --> Pittsburgh.... I asked... not looking to downgrade him. Would add to upgrade into Atkinson/Hoff... not in love with idea, but could fix roster holes

I think Staal will be our best bet for a 2C

Well... that took forever. But I got the Sedins back together...

Danault + TVR for Brown and a 3rd is a offer I have going at the moment.

Could probably flip both Danault and TVR for Zetterberg or Little from Minny.

Then we sign a 2 LW and 2 RW in FA, also Darling and Weber, then I think we are set

We could also trade one of either Ekholm or Ellis, and get their replacement in free agency...

Ellis more likely...

Yeah, we could bring in a guy like Shattenkirk

Shat will get a huge contract. Easily more than 8M on here

Then maybe we could look at another option

Oh yeah for sure... just have to see what's available

Offer from Edmonton...

Eberle, Nashville 2nd 18 or 19 (it's one of the 2) and one of Bowers/Slepyshev/Letestu for Ekholm

Thoughts? I don't love it

Neither do I. Maybe if we got another top-6 player or a top prospect...

Cody Franson?

We could ask for someone from his bottom line...

Johan Larsson? Could package him with something to upgrade elsewhere

I really really like Ekholm... maybe if it was Larsson + Eberle?

Larsson's gone, he was traded

Also, there's a trade I found that someone did a while back that just doesn't add up.

Was thinking more like Bozak

Maybe

What's that?

Counter to the Ekholm trade

Martin + Eberle... I wold prefer a stronger LHD than Martin

Maybe Lee + Eberle for Ekholm and a third round pick? We would get 2 top 6 wingers for a mid-round pick and a top 4 d-man, I consider that sort of fair

I really don't like Lee... and I see Ekholm as a Top 2

So, a while back, Carolina traded Erik Karlsson to Colorado. Now, on Carolina's page, it says they got for Tyson Barrie. But on Colorado's page, it says they got Karlsson for Beauchemin and a 2017 4th round pick. Doesn't add up to me, what do you think?

I like him more than Martin
