For myself personally, I’d be looking at quality over quantity; in other words, a one for one lateral trade if it exists would be my preference or even better, a quality player who will only have 2 years of pro service who will be exempted from the expansion draft. This could be a very tricky trade for Treliving to pull off correctly in my opinion. Conversely, I guess the scenario exists where he signs Taylor Hall and then just trades Gaudreau for futures. Gonna be an interesting next month.

I did ask people to consider the expansion draft and a few have. There haven't been many proposals with an imbalance of roster players going one way so it hasn't been necessary. Or the roster players moving have involved some ineligible for the expansion draft, like Morgan Frost
The Johnny-for-futures trades are very hard to do in an unexpected flat cap. Only a few teams can do it and most of them are teams like Ottawa, New Jersey, Detroit etc who many feel, don't have a good reason to add a player like Johnny at this point
