His best buddy Nathan MacKinnon.
I think Ottawa too, they're in the market for a D man apparently and he fits their project.
I legit think they would never trade him. So whoever your best young d man is plus multiple 1sts.

Jets are thin on defense prospects as is so it is very unlikely (pretty much zero chance) they’re going to trade away their best one. They’ve been looking for a RH defenseman with his skill set for years and finally drafted one. They’re going to develop him and he’ll eventually slide into the top 4.
He is our best D prospect and a RHD to boot. Pretty much no chance Chevy even considers moving him unless he gets some ridiculous good offer.

Thank guys, so I am not the only one who really likes him
Great prospect, it is great to see young D who can play both sides of rink. I guess nobody is ready to heavily overpay until he is NHL proven. Great pick for you, good luck.

I doubt they move Salo. He has developed and trended in the right direction at every level since being drafted and is looking like a solid T4 defender. He adapted to the NA game tremendously well and is producing well in the A on a shitty Moose team.
It would cost a lot to get him but would probably be part of a bigger deal for a current T4 RD or 2C with term.

Seattle is still in that race. In a league where defense matters wouldn't be surprised if they are still giving the Oilers, Flames and Kings a run in January/February. You can always dump Cap hits on Columbus and Pittsburgh will take them too, especially once they clear out a salary.
Or maybe Seattle tries to get to a Toronto and Vegas level of cheating the Cap.

Only thing that maybe moves the needle is someone who is already what we hope he will become and unless a player wants to get off the team, teams generally aren't all that eager to move guys like that. Ideally it would be someone around 25-28 who is an established piece. Those kinds of players usually don't make it to market unless they are rentals and I wouldn't be moving Salomi for a rental.
It seems like he's struggled pretty heavily. CBJ fans say he is hard to work with. Thinks he deserves to be in the NHL despite not really doing much yet. I'm guessing if he's moved it will be underachieving prospect for underachieving prospect type deal of similar age.
I think the ask for him was pretty steep. He definitely would be a huge boon to our 2nd line. Plays with speed and a young enough RFA that we can sign him long term and not regret it.
I'm not sure what moves the needle for Anaheim but I'd imagine it would be something we wouldn't want to pay.
