Bishop played well and Wallmark seems like a good guy to toss into a deadline deal along with a pick or two.
But honestly this is like throwing darts. McGinn’s probably a better answer but I didn’t think hard about this.

I put in Edmundson, mainly due to the fact that if Fleury or any one of the loaded Checkers squad over-performs, they may be able to get some decent-to-good pick for him during the year. I think TVR is going to be extended for a short-term contract, maybe 2 years or so, since Priskie's waivers-exempt for three seasons and shouldn't just have a job handed to him.

had a hard time deciding between TVR and Fleury. Went with TVR.
This is pretty much my logic for the same pick. I think one of the Checkers defensemen steps up and Edmundson goes somewhere at the deadline as a pending UFA for a pick and to make cap space for a different move.
McGinn on the first line to boost his stats and send him to Minnesota for Zucker.

I think that one or both of McGinn and Martinook are going to be sign-and-traded in the offseason if their contract demands are too much. Dark horse for this treatment is Hamilton if the same impasse occurs and if they find a way to improve elsewhere on the roster (Maybe a Labanc or Nylander trade? Surprise Torey Krug signing? Who knows?).
I dont think there is any way Edmundson is going anywhere....if he's not in the lineup they are charmin soft.

McGinn's salary moves him to the front of the line, with Fleury right behind him.

If another team has a goalie go down, Reimer might be an interesting option for them, while we have Ned in waiting in the wing and cap issues that would make moving on from Reimer's salary pretty desirable.

Forsberg in Charlotte also helps back this up.
TvR's salary is higher, he has guys breathing down his neck, and in his last year of the contract. If his backups play well over the next month, I'd bet he is in Winnipeg by the holidays.

I'd be glad to see Reimer traded for a bag of pucks, fellas. Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way.
Agreed, I'd think Rod would want to keep Edmundson for the Playoffs and deal TVR (assuming Fleury develops into a reliable 3rd pair option).

Columbus is counting on 2 inexperienced backups for goalies this season. Maybe they dont work out and they want a better option.

I don't think that the Canes trade Reimer unless his performance rebounds enough that someone is willing to give up a draft pick for him rather than the other way around. I think that's more likely this offseason.

Rod may, but I don't think the rest of the Borg would, especially Tulsky and Waddell. I personally bet that TVR gets a (very) short-term extension and Edmundson is the potential trade bait to Winnipeg in the event of over-performing youth.
