Sujet: Ideas for a RHD upgrade at trade deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ForsbergForVezina</b></div><div>Although I'd love to keep him through the rebuild, Connor Murphy is probably a piece Chicago will look to trade in the next 12-13 months. He has another year after this one at just under $4 million.

So what about Murphy (50% retained) for one of Joseph, Volkov or ABB, Jan Rutta (perhaps the Hawks could then flip him again?) and the 2021 1st rounder? Then down the right side the Lightning have Murphy, Cernak, Foote/Schenn.

I'll be honest, if Johnson is included, I don't think there's a fit. 4 years is a long time and while I generally like Johnson, I want available roster spot in the next couple of years to go to our young guys. So hopefully taking someone off the roster and Rutta is a deal that works money-wise. And Tampa gets a top-4 defenseman with term for under $2 million</div></div>

I did think of Murphy but thought Hawks fans would be very against it. I do like the deal but the Lightning wouldn't give up Rutta, Hedman works well with him and I don't think they want to mess with that. I understand the hesitation with Johnson but instead of retaining the Murphy salary the Hawks could retain some of Johnson and flip him to a playoff team looking for some middle lineup offense. He is still a good player just an ugly contract. With the hawks rebuilding for at least the next few years retaining $2 million for 3 years wouldn't kill them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoopsTroops</b></div><div>I don't think we need a half season rental RHD bad enough have to get rid of ABB without at least seeing what he can do.
Demers is someone I like if we can make it work without trading anyone, since nobody would waive for Arizona at the TDL.
If Toronto ever puts Bogo on waivers due to any cap juggling, he will be ours if someone doesn't get him first.
For now I think we could look for someone on waivers to give a few games.</div></div>

I am really interested to see if they take a chance on Honka, it really can't hurt. And as for ABB unfortunately I think he is going to be another Marchessault/Verhaeghe that won't find a spot on the Lightning but thrives somewhere else
