I think there is something there with moving Lindholm to Columbus. If we can get one of their stud C's, that would be great, or a + to get the 3rd overall. I would also ship out Kadri ideally or Backlund and replace with UFA - O'Reilly. Projecting a 5.5/3 year contract. Some savings there. With Kylington coming back, one of the D can go too.
I think a Toronto trade could be had as well. With their lackluster goalie performance and Forward heavy lineup, I think a trade of Hanifin and Markstrom for Nylander and Robertson would have potential or Hanifin, Markstrom and ++ for Marner.
Likely pipe dreams but I see a good fit with both Columbus and Toronto as trade partners. Curious if Treliving going to Toronto helps or hinders making trades with them. Murray might refuse to deal with him.
