Boston needs three things in a return IMO:
-Average starter who can play 50 games OR a young goalie who is on the way there but not quite one yet. I think Boston's system can make such a goalie look much better than they are.
-A 1st rounder in the deep '25 Draft.
-A prospect of varying quality depending on how good the goalie is.
Ideally BOS will want to move Sway out of the East so there's less chance he bites them in the behind, AND the team trading for him needs the cap room to fit in his projected $8M+ salary, which leaves the following list:
SEA- Could offer Grubauer, Tanev (for cap), 2025 1st, and one of Sale/Miettinen/Rehkopf/Nyman.
LAK- Could offer Kuemper, 2025 1st, and Greentree; with Doughty injured their cap situation is actually pretty flexible right now.
ANH- Could offer Gibson, 2025 1st, and one of Warren/Luneau/Solberg. Only thing that complicates this is Gibson's recovery from surgery.
UHC- Could offer Vejmelka, 2025 1st, one of Beaudoin/Lamoureux/But.
