• If the Sharks do not want to suck again this year they HAVE to find a better RD than Klingberg for their top pair.
• Carolina makes sense and have some assets to dangle.
• Leafs would want Andersson but do not have much to offer the Flames.
• Vegas does not make sense while we hold their 1st (and they do not have great assets to trade for).
• Bruins, Red Wings, and Blue could all be interested too. I could see this group wanting to wait to see how the season starts before spending to fill their gaps, but of course that means they are starting the season in a weakened position... so how could they expect good results when you have a known issue in the depth chart??

Good list just wante to add to it:

• LAK were interested in Andersson, and might come back to him as a rental once Ceci($4.5M x 4, Holland special lol) sucks.
• OTT might be a dark horse. Their RD depth is Zub, who missed 23 games a season on avg over the last 3 seasons, and 35 year old Nick Jensen. Yakemchuk might make the jump, but that's somewhat risky for a team that's looking to become a consistent playoff team.
• If NSH rebounds from last year, and that's a big if, then they would be looking for a RD. I believe their best RD is either Blankenburg or Barron, with Perbix rounding out the RD depth. They have a lot of vets that don't want a rebuild, and a GM in Tortz that made quite a few head scratching moves.
