Purely hypothetical...and ignore all the no trade clauses for a second, but which team says no if this was proposed:
Huberdeau - $1.0M retained ($9.5M x 7)
Mangiapane ($5.8M x 1)
Dube ($2.3M - RFA)
($17.6M annual - $72.3M total salary commitment)
for
Gaudreau ($9.75 x 5)
Laine ($8.7M x 2)
($18.45M - $66.15M total salary commitment)
It's probably Columbus but I actually think it could make sense for both sides. Would never happen in the NHL where it's impossible to make trades but interesting to think about.
