No you keep Carlo the point of signing Ekblad would be

A to bring in somebody other than Rielly that can produce offense.

B it gives you Ekblad, Tanev, Carlo that's arguably the best right side in the league.

OEL would be the guy you deal.

OEL goes nowhere IMHO, he's better than Reilly at less than half the cost. This team needs to push Reilly out of town or buy him out

Rangers Have Approached Top Center​

According to The Athletic's Arthur Staple, the Rangers have reportedly already asked their top centerman to consider a fresh start, noting that finding a fit for the 32-year-old that has five years remaining on his deal.
"There's a chance that Drury has already worked it out with Zibanejad, who has five years at a $8.5 million average annual value remaining plus a full no-move clause, that moving on would be best," wrote Staple before suggesting the Leafs as a potential target. "They'd still need to find a fit -the Leafs might have some interest and some space to fill."

The cap hit is manageable, but the five years remaining and no-movement clause might be tough to swallow for the Maple Leafs even though Zibanejad is 32-years-old.

If the Leafs were to add the Swedish pivot, he would have an instant spot centering William Nylander and it would allow the Leafs to shift John Tavares to the wing or into the third-line center spot - as long as they are able to re-sign him.

Would love to give him a shot but what do we realistically have to trade for that?

There's gonna be a few times wanting a good centermen in Zibanajad.

NYR are looking to make changes to their core so this is more about moving a player out with a full NMC to get more cap space so maybe its more a contract dump than hockey trade.

The Nylander and Zibanajad might make a nice 2nd line Swedish combo.

You cut JT salary into 1/2 and move him to the 3rd line.

Mason Marchment seems like an absolute given doesn't it? Dallas is looking to clear salary, so we can give them practically peanuts or heck even Nick Robertson one for one? Super cheap player with upside.

Marchment seems like an ideal Treliving/Berube player

why? he can't skate well enough to forecheck and sucks in the crunch time so bad stars fans were holding prayer circles to get him off the team. not sure why everyone here has a raging boner for this guy. Crouse is what everyone thinks this guy is

If Matthews signed 8 years he’s still have 2 years left at whatever cap hit (still below McDavid).

If Nylander signed 8 years he’d still be making 6.9M this year.

If Marner signed 8 years he’d still have 2 years left.

Not getting 8 years was more important than any tax advantages.

I think the fact that our core 5 just never produce in playoffs are more of a problem than anything.
 
Dallas is looking for a top 4 RD. Perhaps we could do something with Carlo while perhaps signing Fabbro or Ekblad to take his spot.

Carlo (3.49M) + Kampf (2.4M) for Marchment (4.5M) + Bourque (894K) + 2026 SRP
 
The Kampf deal has me worried for Tre's abilities to fix the team. I think that was one of, if not his first deals after becoming GM, that amount a cake to a vanilla 4th liner as an instant reaction, yet you needed time to process the core 4 and didn't touch that.

And now we need a dna change? Apart from a listless core 4 the bottom 6 have also been emotionless vanilla players.

The difference between Kampf and a useful 2 and a half million dollar player could have been the difference in taking down Florida.

That and his trade and contract history in Calgary was not great.

Gonna be a dicey few weeks.
 
I’m thinking potential targets in soft deals would be

Hamilton (need to get him out with Hughes and then maybe Hughes contracts). Didn’t Tre trade him?

Zibby. Need a 2 C. He makes money and has a NMC. RHC makes 8,5. Are he and Willy friends?

Karlson. Need a legit ppqB

petro/roy/karlson. If he is healthy

We have cap to spend. Need a C/grit and a pp and puck moving threat

Adding Ekblad to our current defensive core is a waste of cap space.

We need top-9 forwards a lot more than we need to push Simon Benoit out of the lineup.

Spend the money where it helps the most. Let’s not repeat the Tavares mistake.

But if you can move Reilly......................
