I think there is something there with moving Lindholm to Columbus. If we can get one of their stud C's, that would be great, or a + to get the 3rd overall. I would also ship out Kadri ideally or Backlund and replace with UFA - O'Reilly. Projecting a 5.5/3 year contract. Some savings there. With Kylington coming back, one of the D can go too.
I think a Toronto trade could be had as well. With their lackluster goalie performance and Forward heavy lineup, I think a trade of Hanifin and Markstrom for Nylander and Robertson would have potential or Hanifin, Markstrom and ++ for Marner.
Likely pipe dreams but I see a good fit with both Columbus and Toronto as trade partners. Curious if Treliving going to Toronto helps or hinders making trades with them. Murray might refuse to deal with him.

Both Columbus and Toronto are up against the cap.
If Toronto moves one of their core it's to save cap, not to increase it. it just means moving out anther core piece. Nylander is signed for two more years, he has more trade value that Hanifin for that reason alone, and you are stapling Marky to him also?
Columbus has a huge chance to save cap with their #3 pick who can immediately take over the #1 centre role. I simply can't see them trading that for a soon to be very expensive centre, as they'll need to dump productiove players to fit him in.

Toronto has 9+ million in space and Jake Muzzin's 5.6 going on LTIR. They have flexibility too.
Weegar is a top end dman...people act like he was a toss in
I do like Weegar a lot, but I also get a lot of Ian White vibes in the way some people try to look at that trade. Again, Weegar is obviously not White, but ...well that trade looks pretty bad in hindsight now, no denying.

Nah, that Phaneuf trade was bad from day one and actually turned out mediocre for the Flames with Stajan lol. Huberdeau + Weegar looked like a great trade on the day it was made and then swung the other way quickly.

Funny enough, Conroy criticized that trade and wondered why Darryl didn’t get any 1st round picks back (@ 10:07)

That interview is gold! OMG I love Conroy.
Open ####ing kimono baby!
I wonder if this openness will continue. Will be interesting to listen to his presser when he makes a trade, hires a coach, mid/end of season interviews.
