Can’t say nyi or Columbus. Nyi too capped out and might add Parise for a lot less (yes Johnny is better but they can dump Ladd and add a much better player who can help). Lou seems like a prick to do biz with. Columbus is strapped prospect wise and Ohio isn’t on coast where Johnny wants to be.
Philly is where he wants to play but they seem to be doing fine without him. AV doesn’t seem like the right coach for Johnny given his penchant for strong defence. If they really want him and he wants to go there, they can add him as ufa without giving up assets after giroux’s contract expires.
Buffalo has been talked about a lot in past so no need to beat that dead horse.
Wasn’t too keen on NJD. Ran across some proposals on one of their fan sites.

Definite slant towards devils but interesting to see what other fans see as possible return.

At least they all have a 1st in there, but they all feel like quantity over quality.
In fact, these proposed returns feel less substantial than what Jersey got in the Hall trade.
