On the topic of Florida...

Any chance Huberdeau could be available? He seems to be struggling quite a bit since his rookie season.

I have a feeling GMJR is going to make a major move at some point this season involving a core part or perhaps even two.

I think untouchables are 87, 71, and 72. I list 72 because he's the kind of player they need to acquire more of. No way they move him.

29 is unlikely because they have no better option + he just signed his new deal.

I think everyone else is on the table including 3. Would take a lot to move him but I wouldn't rule it out.

I think 58 goes on that list too, unless someone offers him a player of the Voracek/Kopitar/Toews type. But I don't think GMJR even discusses it for anything that includes parts.

ELC's are like gold in the league. You don't trade proven talent at that price. If anything Pouliot and Martin are on the block, Despres and Bortuzzo as well.
I would expect Bennet and Sutter to be bait too, although I would try to stay away from trading the forward depth.

No way do I see Maatta getting moved. I think he belongs on your list.

Dumoulin recalled from WB/S. Interesting he gets the call-up before Harrington or Pouliot. Showcasing??

From what I've heard, hes pretty much been the best defenseman in WBS this year regardless of the Harrington/Pouliot upsides being higher. There is a chance that he actually gets a look, unlike Harrington, since Letang is still out and Bortuzzo is sick and may also be out.

Just thinking out loud, wonder if a Pouliot for Huberdeau would make a decent trade for both teams. We probably add to Pouliot, even with Huberdeau's struggles, he is definitely more "proven" in the NHL. But Pouliot-Ekblad would be quite the top pairing and Huberdeau could be a terrific winger for us in the top 6.

All that said, I guess its more likely a team like Florida will just continue to be perpetually bad and trade older players for picks/prospects.

I would tend to agree with you but if the right offer came along, I believe they'd entertain it.

By saying that it means he, by definition, isn't untouchable then.

I thing 58 is actually less untouchable than 3. I truly believe if the right offer came along, they'd move 58 in a nanosecond.
