People think the ridiculous trade proposals that get posted on HFboards are unrealistic when in reality the reason there is so few trades is that that's exactly how NHL teams actually operate.

So is Calgary the team that is holding up all the trades? I hope they end up with underwhelming returns for their players. Hopefully nobody gives them a first for Tanev and the return for Hanifin isn't great with his very small list of teams he would agree to extend with. And I'm hoping New Jersey stumbles out of the playoffs and doesn't pick up Markstrom and puts Tofolli on the market. He would be my ideal top6 pickup.

I haven’t seen much of the Ottawagames this year but I recall him taking some face offs and playing some center last season.
But yes, has played a lot on the wings.

Empty the cupboard for Buchnevich and Giroux

Yeah those 2 would have a massive impact. The depth overall would be nuts.
A Buchnevich - Draisaitl - Giroux line would just work teams like crazy.
I would have a lot of time for Connor Ingram.
You want to whine about Vegas "getting lucky" with Hill, maybe try looking at similar aged goalies who are under siege on bad teams but still posting .900+ save percentage or better yet, .910+.
That might not be such a bad idea.
This is why the Brown deal was so, so stupid. No one wanted to give a fart about next year's cap, now maybe those people are sobered up to realize, yeah actually that $3+ million in dead cap really was needed.

You're adding $12M in salary this year and next for two guys who apparently are going to cost a couple 1sts each.
You might get retention for another 1st each, so are you really willing to give up like six 1st rounders for those two?

Calgary is playing pretty good. Them holding on to everyone and just missing would be the most Calgary thing ever and I could see it happening.
We do play the Pens twice over the next seven games. I'd assume they'd like to keep tabs on the Canucks as the season progresses, too.
And it will also be just enough for their fans and the media to crow all off season about "oh well they were really good down the stretch so look out this year!" only to fall completely flat in October.

That's more what I was thinking as well, maybe also seeing out linemates play without Guentzel.
Maybe it won't cost that much even with retention and Campbell and Foegele go the other way
Keeping an eye on our new 3C Sidney Crosby

Can’t blame him really. Ottawa looks like the DoD Oilers, holes in the lineup, no direction, over the hill coach, rookie GM, exciting forward group but that’s it.

This is a bit of an over pay but it's what will be needed to shed JC's contract.
