Luostarinen had a coming out party this year and is still under team control and cheap, that's why I don't think he would be available as an add. Also Zito mentioned he doesn't want to mess with the room much.

Yeah, but if you want Hanifin to solidify a defense that sorely needs a steadying presence, you'll have to give up some value. Duclair isn't that because he's 1 dimensional and came off a long injury. Lundell is probably not available, but Luostarinen is similar to him but not as valued long term.
I'm not really in favor of the deal for either team, but I'm just trying to propose something realistic.
