Perhaps the best Compatible is the Gauthier - Drysdale trade as Gauthier was drafted one spot ahead of Jiricek.

So maybe our 2024-1st (currently 8th) .and a B Prospect something like Brio.?

I would prefer to retain or 1st due to the quality of Dmen in the top 10 or so. So would Savoie be a suitable replacemebt

Yup, I thought of him too. Previously, I considered him relatively disposable out of all them.
Now, after the wJ20 Tourney, I'd like to see him develop more as he could be a nice asset on the PP as a set-up/distributor guy.

I personally will buy a Njickl Blojstad jersey if we trade from him and I am hoping it happens for multiple reasons but really just so we can all have a custom Bjudgalstd jersey

Don't think Terry lets him make that kind of offer. KA chose his guys.

deep sixing erik johnson covers most of dahlins raise

girgens, okposo and robinson covers most of powers raise

they can fit casey as long as they are not overpaying crap players

I think that math is overstated, especially when you factor in replacements.

Covered this in depth over the weekend. Problem with more long term deals doesn't start day 1. It's a year or two later, when a slew of 1st rounders are going to cost. Want Mitts? That's fine. Makes JJ tricky, or Benson/Tuch/Quinn, or goalies, or D.

How much money can you commit, while also not making an effort to improve? Terry should be asking some tough questions. 8 year extensions require 8 year budgets.

Can they keep Casey if they extend him even somewhat long term? Yes.

Does it make things very challenging almost immediately? Oh yes.

It also means you are completely married to this roster, and making any upgrades more difficult.
