NYI themselves picked up Leddy and Boychuk for mere 2nd's. Most teams aren't going to do NYI a solid for a player that wants out (except Edmonton that is). Ultimately I think Hamonic goes for a Nugent-Hopkins or an Eberle with salary retained, but I don't think the trade listed here is that far fetched. Kylington and Poirer are solid prospects PLUS a 2nd. Wideman replaces the right-shot Hamonic, but I think 50% would have to be retained on Wideman, then the combined trade is more realistic. Just not sure NYI would give up Halak without another alternative, they searched for a goalie for years.

I like Stajan on the wing with Backlund and Frolik, I presented something similar not long ago, opens up a spot for our immense farm centre depth.

I really like that 2nd line, but am not sure Tkachuk would be ready next year. Matthews and the Finns, likely... from there down not so sure.

I would hope to get Monahan a bit cheaper (based on the Barkov deal) and question whether they'll get matching contracts (I think Gaudreau will get more)

I don't mind the Boedker signing, but would prefer Okposo (right shot, more scoring touch to complement Gaudreau's playmaking ability)

Love the Widman dump and the Bishop trade. I think we should sell high on Colborne also. If Stamkos goes to free agency I wonder if it isn't Vasilevsky Tampa looks to move. All depends on Stamkos.

I like Jooris, Grant and Hamilton as our cheap bottom roster filler also, those are good picks.

These moves and lineup actually make quite a bit of sense as compared to some of the other suggestions on this site.

Wow. A lot of issues here:
1. Why would TO trade for Ramo when they can just sign him as a UFA?
2. You forgot to re-sign Monahan but also didn't trade him
3. Frans Nielsen is a nice signing, but I'd rather have Monohan at centre (he is younger and can score)
4. Kylington won't be ready for full time NHL duty next year
5. That Ortio signing is.... terrible. He is an RFA and can be qualified a small chunk over $600,000. for 1 year deal. He hasn't proved anything at the NHL level and is currently "replacement level" signing him for 5 @ 3.5 is well... terrible.
6. Greening for Bouma is a lateral move for me. Not sure what it accomplishes.
7. Way more players ahead of Klimchuk on the Flames depth chart for a call-up (he is not ready for NHL). Such as: F Hamilton, Agostino, Poirer, Shore, Hathaway, Grant, Elson and probably even Arnold.
6. Lee Stempniak is only getting older and was boosted by percentages this year. We have plenty of cheaper, younger depth on the farm with greater upside.
7. Fleischmann can barely hold a spot in an NHL line-up and will be lucky to get a try-out next year. Much cheaper, younger less injury prone depth on the farm.

Sujet: In Tre we Trust - 2016/2017
Explanation:
1. Win lottery! Draft Matthews. The Bennett/Matthews/Shinkaruk line gets easy comp, O-zone starts (super sheltered) and 2nd PP unit time.
2. Sell high on Colborne and add him with Ortio to get Murray (Pitt will be worried about protecting only 1 goalie in the expansion draft)
3. Pay up to get Okposo to finally get top line, big RW who can score. Would be deadly with Johnny/Monny
4. Retain salary to trade Wideman to TO. Take back Cowen who gives us a cap credit when we buy him out. Brings back a stable goalie in case Murray falters (TO will resign Reimer in free agency). TO gets a PP scoring specialist D-man they can flip for assets at the deadline who is now at a reasonable cap hit (3.25 mil)
5. Move Stajan to the wing to complement a true shut-down line with Backs/Frolik. Staj looked good on the wing to end the year and opens up a spot for Grant at centre. Backlund makes everyone he plays with look better (see Colborne and Bouma), so we might even recoup an asset for Stajan if we trade him with salary retained at the deadline.
6. Smid to the IR and Raymond bought out... wooohoo!

I realize Monny/Johnny could cost more, but this assumes Tre works some magic. I only used a 71.4 million cap so if it goes up to 74, we're still good. We can fit all this under 71.4 and only have to buy out Raymond (leaves more cap room for next year)
