Teams that have good assets and could use a top 4 RHD at the TDL/draft day:
Carolina —> Burns replacement down the line
Dallas —> Solidify the top 4, also helps with Heiskanen out
Washington —> Carlson isn’t getting younger, Andersson plays middle pairing until Carlson regresses more. Buddies with Mangiapane
Toronto —> Treliving would likely offer 2 1sts and a top prospect if we retained 50% for 1.25 seasons + 2 playoff runs. If Chicago can get a 1st and a highly touted goalie for 2.5m retention S. Jones, then I would think Andersson could fetch something rather high too.
NJD —> Hamilton is out, do they give up on Necas, are they still gonna pony up with Hughes out? Is our relationship with Fitz tarnished? Don’t like this option but you can’t say no if Mercer++ is involved.
Winnipeg —> Would be a good option with Morrissey. Could be a Pionk replacement as I think Pionk is gonna test UFA waters.
Buffalo —> maybe more of a draft day deal, Byram would be who I think the flames should target based on his age. 1 for 1 swap. Lock him up for 8 years.
Just some off the top of my head.
