trade block (not married to the specific pieces, more of a giving ideas to cut down on the Pm chains lol)
James Neal- 1st line rentals don't come up often. Would be looking for 2-3 core pieces (1st, good prospect, young controllable NHLer). Can retain if it will increase the return.
David perron- top 6 rental on a near-ppg pace. Same as Neal, but price will be a little lower. I'm flexible on there guys, but also not afraid to keep me and make a playoff push if lowballed.
Luka Sbisa- 1 or 2 core pieces, or 2 or 3 lesser pieces. Again same deal as above (I have all 3 retention spots)
Will Carrier, Jon Merill- two young rfas that don't quite fit. Would trade for similar rfas or as part of a package for a need
Garrison- will trade for a low asset or similar overpriced ufa. Can retain to up the give a little
Plukkinen- anyone that wants to take a flyer on him, will move for a similar change of scenery guy in a position of need (RD, 3G, ahl depth)
2019 picks- got a crap ton. Would like to move some for prospects, nhl ready guys or 2018 picks.
NEEDS:
Main needs are a Top 6 C, 1-2 good RD, and prospects to stock the pool. Also would like to add a cheap piece or two to make an outside playoff run (or at least mentor the kids). Not shy about taking on cap dumps, but if they extend beyond this year it will need to be worth my while.
