On the other hand we kind of need to move out a defenseman, as Kylington and Välimäki both need NHL icetime to develop.
I'm actually kind of surprised Brodie is still here.

Yeah.
I think the plan at the deadline was trade first rounder and toss in Frolik for Zucker and then trade a D at draft to recover picks. That cratered.
Off season plan was then trade Brodie or Hamonic for forward help, hopefully about cap neutral (like the Kadri deal) and then dump Frolik for whatever you can get with no salary coming back.
Now the options have dwindled significantly, which is maybe why Treliving sounds so tired. Events aren’t unfolding how he wants and thing is, he absolutely has to do something.
