We have been linked to JT Miller and Toews in the past.

Pundits have said Treliving is trying to make a big move and both these players would qualify

Miller - can’t see Vancouver eager to trade him to us and we would have to pay a premium. They want to remake their d so imagine andersson would have to be going back, along with a prospect and first rounder.

Toews. A lot more affordable but salary would have to be retained. I like the suggestion made that mony heads the other way along with some futures (maybe that’s where valamaki comes into play).

With both players we get a true 2C which allows backlund to focus on 3c duties. Both players seem like Sutter types as well.

I’ve thought about Blake wheeler as well, as acquisition cost shouldn’t be high end he can play c. That extra year is a killer though, and not sure how willing Winnipeg would be to eat salary to make a deal work. Probably a long shot at best.
