We already employ a better Mayfield. His names Justin HollHe absolutely is. And would be far, far superior to Josh Manson.
Ritchie + Dermott out (plus futures)
JT miller + Luke Schenn in.
When was the last time there was a 4 team trade?Bunting-Matthews-Marner
Miller-Tavares-Kase
Nylander-Kerfoot-Spezza
Engvall-Kampf-Mikheyev
Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-DeMelo
Sandin-Holl/Liljegren
Vancouver gets: Ritchie + 2022 1st + Robertson + SDA
Arizona gets: $2.625 million cap hit from Miller + $1 mill cap hit from DeMelo + 2023 2nd + 2023 3rd
Toronto gets: Miller @ $2.625 mill + DeMelo @ $2 mill

Miller yes. Schenn is the least desirable dman in NHL.Ritchie + Dermott out (plus futures)

Hathaway rocking McDavid and flipping Kane into the Caps benchis the kind of grit this team is missing. We have nobody who will wear down the star players of other teams. I'm actually really envious of the Caps getting to deploy Ovi Wilson and Hathaway in the playoffs. That really sucks for their opponents, bruises all day.
You gotta be kidding me with Simmonds / Clifford / Ritchie options. Even Spezza hasn't done enough to guarantee a spot in the playoffs.
Scott Laughton for 3C and moving Kampf to 4C makes a lot of sense for playoffs. Kampf retains his majority share of PK time of course. Laughton has some sneaky grit.
Laughton + a Hathaway type is all this team is missing if you ask me. We can do this without breaking the bank too bad.
Then grab some backup d-men incase of injuries or young guys tanking. But that's normal trade deadline stuff so not really a wish list.
Edit: In this scenario I am removing Simmonds and Spezza. Engvall has earned full time honors.
Miller yes. Schenn is the least desirable dman in NHL.

Jt miller or max domi if cheap
How bout Kevin Bieksa?Got to add a dman, who can play real defence, protect Soupy, block shots and play pk. We have enough skaters who join the rush and stick check. It would be nice to be top 4 but a strong 5 would help.
LOLNot sure but I expect that whoever is obtained will be the perfect player added at the perfect time.
Nothing wrong with that 4 centre for a cup run. Can win draws, can run a PP, can move up in the lineup, tough and willing to play physical.To Toronto: J.T. Miller (50% retained)
To Vancouver: Alex Kerfoot + Nick Robertson + 2023 1st Round Draft Pick
Cap Savings: 875k
To Toronto: Connor Murphy + Marc-Andre Fleury (50% retained)
To Chicago: Petr Mrazek + Travis Dermott + Nick Ritchie + Roni Hirvonen
Cap Savings: 450k
Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Miller - Tavares - Nylander
Mikheyev - Kampf - Kase
Engvall - Spezza - Simmonds
Rielly - Murphy
Muzzin - Brodie
Sandin - Liljegren/Holl
Campbell - Fleury
I honestly think that is a true Stanley Cup contending roster. Ideally we’d use the cap savings in acquiring a better 4th line center but I’ll just leave it as those two moves.
