Just my thoughts on what could/should happen at the TDL and post season.
The playoff streak is over. It was a nice run while it lasted. Oh well!!!!
Nielsen(NMC), Abby, Helm, Kronwall, Ericsson(NTCs) are all unlikely to waive trade clause to accept a trade.
Zetts will retire a Wing unless he asks to be moved(highly unlikely).
Where does this leave us with everyone else.
Untouchables:
AA, Larkin, Mantha, Mrazek and firsts in '17 and '18.
UFAs:
Vanek: should be traded at the deadline. Possible 1st or a couple of seconds. I personally don't want him back unless its 1 yr at a time for the same cap hit as this season which is NOT likely.
Smith: Trade him at deadline. Should be worth a 3rd. Would be open to re-signing him in offseason(he is NOT as bad as some fans think.)
Ott and Miller should get us a couple of 6ths.
Green has a NTC so would have to OK a move. He would want to go to a legitimate Cup contender(Pitt./Wash/Chi./Minn). Most likely-he gets moves at TDL 2018.
Howard's injury status is becoming more than just problematic. Hoping that Holland can move him offseason(likely with salary retained). A deal with Vegas is a possibility.
All other assets(roster players, minor leaguers, prospects and draft choices) available for deals that will help improve the team now and in the future.
PS. Would live to snag McCarron from the Habs.
