Is Florida shopping Ekblad still? Feel like they're defense would be in shambles a bit without him even though he's very up and down.

Do they really need one? Their D is solid. I would think they need a #3 RW instead to play on the 3rd line.

Josi Fabbro
Skjei Carrier
Lauzon Schenn

One of Fabbro or carrier is good for second pair but neither is a top pair guy. Skjei and Roman are both LD

Okay then Ekblad or Trouba would be who I'd target.

Ekblad or Trouba on the top pair with Josi would be a cup contending top pairing.

Evangelista is gonna be 3RW and that's pretty darn good.

Assuming they keep the Forsberg-ROR-Nyquist line together cause they had insane chemistry, Stamkos-Novak-Marchessault likely the second line putting him on the third.

I think Rasmus Andersson is likely the only top pair RHD available and he has an absolute bargain contract. Calgary already has their goalie of the future lined up. And with them just starting their rebuild, I suspect they would prioritize picks. I have no idea what would get it done though. 2 firsts and a second, top 10 protected maybe.

'25 1st, Tampa's '25 1st, one of our 2nds + cap dump?

Or one of the '25 1sts + our '26 1st?

Whats the deal with Glass?? Is tjat just his name, or what he's made out of?

RW is a bit of a bugaboo for us.

How about both Schenn and Glass for Trouba, no retention
He's kind of made of Glass, but also couldn't find his groove last year after a promising 22-23 season. He had a hat trick his last game before being benched, take that however you will.
