Speculation: First big trade?

Certainly didn't found a smart slope Detroit can get in from a Larkin trade later new news is we traded Larkin for Slafkovsky.

It would not shock me to see Rasmus Andersson to Vancouver.

It would be a good fit. Nothing that Andersson is UFA after next season, what would it take?

Calling it now
Provorov to Edmonton

I could see it from the CBJ perspective, I don't think he finishes the season in Columbus.

Jiricek is scratched again to start the season in CBJ.

Needs a change of scenery, what are CBJ needs?

No he doesn't, he needs to play better hockey. He got outplayed by multiple defenseman, including Mateychuk who was sent to Cleveland.

If the Ducks retain 50% his cap hit is $3 million something. It's hard to tell how washed he is because it's been so long since he's played behind a good defense. But I could see him regain his form for Colorado. Not his prime form mind you, but I could see it working. Georgiev would obviously need to be moved as well.

Maybe 3 years ago but he’s been dogshit for years and was outplayed last year by Lukas Dostal. Not saying Dostal is bad but the illusion Gibson is still an elite goalie is wrong.

3.4M for a washed goalie at half retention. Not sure the ducks want this. He has negative value now and even at 50%, they won’t get much of a return. Still, the avs need to fire Georgiev into the sun.

One plays on the left, the other on the right and they have cap space, so your post doesn't have merit. However Utah will wait to see when Marino comes back from injury before even thinking about it. Regardless, Andersson is an upgrade to Kesselring.

Both Durzi and Marino are natural RD. The only reason to play one of them on the left is if you feel Kesselring is a better fit in the top 4 than Valimaki. I don't necessarily disagree with them targeting Andersson, I just think it's less likely.

They won't give up what it would cost anyways, so I agree with less likely. If they go for a RHD, it'll be for a big shut down defensive D.
