domi = noProduction wise he should not cost much but you never know.
Josh Leivo is worth looking at as well.
leivo - i would see if they will take bouma kind of a player.

They shouldn't here either but Q likes how they practice or something.Leivo would be great, but we need to be targeting defensemen at this point..
Erik Gustafsson, Jordan Oesterle.. THese guys would barely make most teams NHL team, let alone top 4...
Stand pat. Try a new "system" first. Replenish from within (the farm system). See Pitt from Johnston to Sullivan.

Why?
You might be able to swing a Hartman for Domi ish deal.
Bouma is not going to get you Leivo.
I would target Domi but obviously he is the most expensive guy of them. Leivo and Soshnikov are cheaper with talent also.
Not sure what I would pay for Domi but I think it have to include either Hartsy or Vinnie. Domi also needs a raise like Duclair too.
Personally I would trade Hartman for Domi, maybe add a pick.
It's going to take more than Hartman and a pick to get Domi.
The situation we're at is this.... our underperforming guys are getting paid too much to realistically expect to get much in return given that we'd also be looking at cap space as a return (a la the initial Campbell trade), and our attractive guys that we could trade are younger guys on cheap deals, aka the exact thing we should want to keep.
In other words, as frustrating as this is, we've got to stand pat rather than trade away dudes. Let the youngsters develop and hopefully our core takes a step forward and rights themselves in the offseason. If either/both happen, we should be in decent shape.
The forwards? Probably. The defence? I really, really doubt it. The team has one good defenceman (who is 34), nothing but question marks otherwise, and no blue chip prospects. Jokiharju is fine, but the hype he gets is just evidence of how thin we are there. The defence needs to be overhauled. The team had better hope the price for competent UFA defencemen drops this offseason. I don't see trades as a likely solution either.

Keith is still a decently effective blueliner worth his cap hit, so I don't see us considering moving him.
Seabrook is a bad deal that nobody will pick up unless we give up a lot.
Murphy is decent and at an okay cap hit. Good to keep, but not really someone that teams will be jumping over either.
Osterle's a promising youngster that I think we should keep and is on a cheap deal to boot.
That really leaves Gustafsson, Kempny, and Rutta, all of whom are cheap and with only one year left. Maybe they attract interest, but fairly minor moves for lower end picks and not like we'd be partying over minor picks as saving the franchise.
So bits and pieces moves are possible, but nothing that I'd highlight as slam dunk mentionables.

Maybe just me, but I don't think so anymore...
Domi has been riding his last name and draft status the past 2 years...
I wouldn't trade Hartman for Domi straight up...why on Earth would we move a guy that has 26 goals in his last 100 plus games for a guy with 12 goals in his last 100 plus games and need to add more to the trade?? both similar in age as well..
Domi has been bad the past year and a half...and by bad, I mean real bad...his passing has been abysmal and his shooting accuracy just as bad.. Domi has been getting prime ice time as well since he got into the league, his numbers are declining.
I have watched a lot of the Yotes this year following a few of my favs in Fischer, Dvorak, and Keller - Domi just doesn't pass the eye test anymore for me..
