The longer the delay in a deal the more you have to wonder if something big is in the works. Would think it would be easy to drop Brodie or Hamonic for picks if Tree wanted to. Believe the focus is on a hockey trade vs a salary dump.
Wonder if there is something big brewing with Winnipeg. We have players with history with Winnipeg (Hamonic/Frolik) and have to figure Winnipeg wants players who want to play there, given how they’ve been burned by pending ufas. Not sure how many trading partners can offer the Jets these kind of players.
Can see hamonic (for sure) and frolik (possibly) agreeable to extending there. Not sure about Brodie as a piece (has to be Brodie or Hamonic, not both) but a deal involving a combination of these players for Perreault and Ehlers with some other pieces involved (Janko/Bennett on our part) seems possible.
Apart from the much discussed Neal for either Lucic/Turris/Eriksson deals, believe options are limited. Maybe Wennberg from Columbus or Toffoli from LA? Are we interested or do they even move the needle, in the event that either team would be interested in these players?
