I can already see Tampa sending Drouin to Anaheim for one of their young D
- NorthNuck

Does Anaheim have the cap space to take on Drouin and extra salary?

Ah yes I totally blanked on that. I suppose that does give us an advantage on Anaheim, but I suspect if Drouin is up for grabs there will be teams willing to outbid us
- NorthNuck

Very possible. I suppose it all depends on the kind of guy Yzerman is looking for in return.

Do the better teams of the league risk their already competitive cores in sending over a big haul for one winger?

What teams can afford to take on a large contract in return?

What team parts with a cheap, effective top four guy for offensive help?

Does Steve Y favor a more established D or relatively unknown Defensive prospect (Ala Philly)?

Plenty of variables but if Benning has the balls, I think there's at least the possibility of a deal to be made.

Assuming they move Vatanen or Fowler in the deal, yes. Perry's contract is starting to look like a major issue though, in general.

Probably will lose Silferberg in expansion draft, so there would be another chunk of money off the books

Wow that is awful ...I didn't realize how much he makes

There's no chance they lose him ...they will make another deal

Me neither For so long too

There's no chance they lose him ...they will make another deal
- Redmile247

I agree, if nothing else they will deal a late pick to protect him from being taken in the draft.

Makes me feel slightly better about the Sedin's

Its contract year for the sedins, expect a 100 point season.

I agree they will look to make another deal, but I still think money comes off. Whether its Silferberg or someone like Despres, I think finding a deal to protect everyone of value will be tough

If they play a full year with Boeser/Goldy I think they could hit 60 again.

100 each they want those 8m contracts, that all those other guys get.

If they trade a D for a forward they will be fine ...they only have 5/6 forwards they need to protect really

Or just trade Bieksa to the leafs

Yeah there has to be a way ...I can't see them not protecting him

Along with a 4 year extension .....

Depending on the price, it could be quite the opposite.

Essential for a team lacking mentorship.

You said draft pick

I think if you move Tanev you will see Hutton and Stecher step up and start to lead the D, There will be mistakes but there will be progress.

You said draft pick

I said draft pick, not a first round draft pick.

Slander really? slander is spoken word not typing, the word you're looking for is libel and neither apply to anonymous posters on a website. If you are worried about statements damaging to your reputation maybe don't come in here bragging about banging broads.

Look yourself in the mirror before pointing fingers and using legal terms you have no knowledge of, stick to what you know coaching and 100% curable back injuries.
