Why would WPG want Kakko?
Biggest needs are 2C and RHD…which one does Kaapo Kakko fill?

For Canucks:

1. Mikhayev
2. Possibly Garland
3. Possibly Hoglander

These are my 3 suspected players that the Canucks might move this off-season.

In season, if the Canucks are out of the playoff race by the trade deadline, they are almost certainly moving Boeser.

Rutherford was in an interview yesterday saying they will not talk extension with Boeser this summer and they want to use the season to evaluate their long term plans for Boeser. Boeser is UFA after the 2024-2025 upcoming season.

No thank you to Kotkaniemi…Jets need a proven 2C

What do you see WPG getting in return for Ehlers to NYI?

Bruins are not gonna trade Ullmark to the Wings. If it happens it will be a team outside their division. The Kings already traded for Kuemper. There is some speculation the Preds don't want to give Saros a big extension salary increased contract because Askarov is almost ready to come up. If I'm the Leafs, I would make a play for Saros, with Marner being the big trade chip. Woll is too much a wonky donkey to start his young career.

Won't speak to the other assets on the list, but for the devils, I'd be quite surprised if they move pick 10 unless it's a trade up / down.

No first this year or next, I think they'll probably want to make the pick unless they get a really nice offer.

I'm like 50/50 on holtz. At first, I thought there was no chance he'd be back. But 900k, 15 goals.... Hope the rest of the game rounds out. He's shown enough to still be interested in, but I do think Fitz wants to change the complexion of the skaters a bit

Listen to Tom Fitzgerald talk once this off-season. If he's giving up his prime assets it isn't for Zegras lol

Is there a lot of talk about this in Boston or something? Because it's something that keeps getting brought up, but I can't really say I understand it for the Canes and trading for a high-priced top goalie is contrary to how they view the position.

I think this is decent value for NJ if it's Holtz and not Mercer but Zegras isn't really what Fitz should be looking for right now, even if it'd make the Hughes boys happy. They need a legit top 4 LHD and a gritty winger that can play in the top 6.

What do you see WPG getting in return for Ehlers to NYI?
I think it'd mostly be futures based, or maybe someone like Pageau? I think there's a pretty big gap between Ehlers and Pulock which I've seen floated around.
Jeanott and either Ehlers or Necas to LA if not then Jeanott and Reinhart in free agency to LA . Just a gut feeling
Yea I think Jeannot will be a target, I still say there'll be something around him and Kaliyev unfortunately.
Is there a lot of talk about this in Boston or something? Because it's something that keeps getting brought up, but I can't really say I understand it for the Canes and trading for a high-priced top goalie is contrary to how they view the position.
I wanna say its been brought up by Friedman & Marek that Carolina may want an upgrade in net. To me they make the most sense for Ullmark.. east, contender, split time with Kotchetkov. And I think Boston wants Necas to play with Pasta. I can't see many other teams offering a better "win now" piece for Necas.

I think this is decent value for NJ if it's Holtz and not Mercer but Zegras isn't really what Fitz should be looking for right now, even if it'd make the Hughes boys happy. They need a legit top 4 LHD and a gritty winger that can play in the top 6.
Yea I was kinda just throwing shit at the wall that made some kinda sense. I agree ya'll need another gritty winger and a D-man. But Zegras and Hughes together splitting C duties on a line could be wild. I'm not a huge fan of either of them but they should produce lots of offense together.

If NJ wants to move the pick I feel like it makes sense. I'm not sure what D man would be available that's worth the pick. I could see yall getting Provorov with that cap space instead at a lesser trade cost
