You made handfulls of assumptions, assume they're all right, then challenge me to come up with 2 teams that might make a competitive offer? LOL
An argument could be made for 8 or 10 of them, but it's pointless to bother, because we DO NOT know which 13 teams are on his list. You can attempt to guess what he wants all you like, but you aren't going to go 13 out of 13.
Also, as I have said, assuming a team won't be interested, simply because they have 2 Cs that you think are sufficient is folly (injuries, for instance). And finally (again), cap space isn't an argument because, as we have seen over and over, year after year, teams find a way to make room when they want to.
I am done with this debate, but for the last time, there is no chance that Kadri could pick 13 teams in advance, and successfully block any and all chances of a trade. You guys are in dreamland here.
hahahahaha, I did the exact thing you asked for (make a list in the summer and check it at Christmas) and your answer is to move the goal posts, declare yourself the victor, and then take your ball and go home?
I guess I'll just do it myself and look at the teams not on the list to see if it closes out most of the rumours we are seeing now.
13 NTL: Canadiens, Islanders, Capitals, Jets, Sabres, Blues, Red Wings, Blue Jackets, Kings, Canucks, Wild, Avalanche, Hurricane
Remaining 18 teams:
Super In: On the NTL
Maybe in: Sharks? Leafs (no assets), Kraken (turn their ship around)
Based on what we have seen thus far with rumours, a list like that blocks most of the current trade rumours and I am sure that Kadri's agent could do a better job given he is more dialed into the league. There is a high chance that they could pick 13 teams in advance and block most trade partners, especially the obvious ones with real interest.
It would take a really surprising suitor, like the Kraken, to come out of nowhere with a big offer that GMCC has to accept and most people on this forum would argue that will never happen because of age.
