Well, to begin with, Alex Stalock has started 21 games and is 10-7 with a .906 save percentage, numbers that are better than some teams' starters, so you should be able to get a third-round pick for him from teams in need of inexpensive, quality backups (like San Jose and Toronto, to name just two). At this point in his career, Jesse Puljujarvi is a stab in the dark and you shouldn't have to spend a quality player, even one with attenuated term like Jonas Brodin, to get him. (With Oscar Klefbom and Darnell Nurse on the left side, the Oilers don't really need Brodin, anyway.) Inasmuch as Minnesota almost certainly won't make the playoffs this year, your objective for players like Brodin and Ryan Donato should be to get high draft picks (thirds or better) for them. Marcus Foligno is a character 40-point forward who should bring more than that return and Toronto doesn't need more depth on the wing. Matt Dumba is every bit as good as Jake Trouba (at the worst), so he should bring you a first and Kapanen and probably quite a bit more because the Jets were under pressure to move Trouba, which deflated his value significantly. Finally, Jason Zucker, whatever your feelings for him, is a top-6 forward and Alex Galchenyuk seems to be busy proving he's not and even if he is, is a UFA; that mass of draft picks doesn't seem to make the deal for a dubious backup goalie any better.

Honestly Dumba probably cost us Mantha, Pretty sure the Wild are extremely high on him for what i've been seeing. Thought something as a base around AA for Jonas Brodin made tons of sense. Detroit will be looking at more LD help down the road then RD help. If we get the #4 overall pick i'd not be surprised if Yzerman doesn't draft Jamie Drysdale at RD Drysdale, Hronek, Seider would be pretty sick. LD Cholowski, Brodin and DeKeyser wouldn't be to bad either.

It's underwhelming but if we're moving Dumba I'd audibly groan if we move him for another left shot wing. We have way too many as is, especially with Kaprizov coming. Moving Dumba has to be for a center if we do move him and I view AA as purely a winger. I know he can play center, but I just like him on the wing a lot more than down the middle.

Sujet: Smart Rebuild
Galchenyuk trade isn't too bad, but if we're rebuilding it doesn't make sense to acquire a rental unless you're planning on flipping him. Still think I'd rather trade Brodin for picks than Galchenyuk, though.

Vancouver says no. Hughes is looking like a potential Norris candidate in the future. You'll probably have to give up way more than what would be fair to get him. Sergachev is probably a more realistic trade target if you're looking for a young LD.

STL says no. Rask has negative value and Donato isn't worth much more than a 3rd at this point.

DET says no. They are in a rebuild so they don't need Dubnyk. A team like Carolina might pay a 3rd or a 2nd if you're lucky for him, though.

I like the general idea here, which is to get younger and acquire picks. This team needs an influx of youth and speed.
