What is the actual trade market for RD? And don’t say Ekblad or Trouba. Who else is a viable top 4 option?
ANA - nobody, their best RD is Radgo Gudas
CGY - MacKenzie Weegar NTC, Rasmus Andersson m-NTC
EDM - Cody Ceci
LAK - none (Doughty m-NTC)
SJS - none
SEA - Adam Larsson m-NTC
VAN - none, just re-signed all RhDs Hronek, Myers, Desharnais
VGK - Pietrangelo NMC
CHI - Seth Jones NMC, Connor Murphy m-NTC
COL - Josh Manson m-NTC
DAL - none, just signed their new guys
MIN - none, could need extra
NSH - Carrier, Schenn, Fabbro (don't know is there a deal)
STL - Justin Faulk NTC, Colton Parayko NTC
UTA - Durzi, Marino, they did just extend them
WPG - Pionk m-NTC, DeMelo, not sure are they any upgrades
CAR - Burns m-NTC, just signed Walker and Chatfield.
CBJ - Severson, Gudbranson (first one has horrible contract and second one is just horrible)
NJD - Hamilton NMC, just got Pesce NTC
NYI - Pulock NTC
NYR - Trouba m-NTC, Fox... why not....
PHI - none, only kids
PIT - Karlsson NMC, Letang NMC
WSH - Carlson m-NTC, just signed Matt Roy, T. vsn Riemsdyk / Bear not good enough
BOS - McAvoy NMC, Carlo m-NTC
BUF - none
DET - ( ____ )
FLO - Ekblad m-NTC
MTL - David Savard
OTT - probably none, just got their righties somewhat fixed
TBL - Cernak NTC
TOR - hoarded RD like mad, Tanev, Liljegren, Hakanpää, Timmins - no answers for Red Wings needs.
Imo, I would say the market is something between Cody Ceci and David Savard.
But most interesting guys would be Justin Faulk and Adam Larsson. Those are really experienced 32-year-old vets, but not as old like Brent Burns.
Can't imagine better guy alongside swede LhD than Adam Larsson.
