I wonder if Columbus would be interested in Hodgson and/or Stewart?
Murray mentioned he may have some other deals in the works. Wonder if that will happen today?
Hodgson, one of Zads/Risto, and the Islanders 2015 1st for Johansen.
Nah, too steep.
Perhaps. We get a #1C just rounding into his game, and still keep our 2015 1st. We can still grab a top D prospect in 2015 if we like, or we can grab a scoring winger.
I say it's worth it. Gotta give to get (unless you're dealing with Snow).
Does Columbus do it?

Perhaps I value him too highly. I love his game.
I have little problem with the value you propose. I have a problem with the asset management aspect of it. Why not just keep the assets, suck this year, and get a center as good or better than Johansen in next year's draft? Then, if you still want to move Hodgson and one of Zads/Risto, trade them for a bigger need next year.

It's be the equivalent of being offered a package for Reinhart.
I just have this feeling Hodgson isn't in Murray's future plans. Columbus is a destination I could see. Also Nashville and Arizona.
Some ideas (and I'm not so good at valuing trades)
To Buf: Boedker
To Arz: Hodgson and a small + (4th/5th rounder or Lower tier prospect)
To Buf: C. Wilson
To Nsh: Hodgson
Probably?
I can't imagine their budget is much over 60 million. They already took on Hartnell and need to get Johansen signed.
I can see the need for both of them, but, I don't see the fit with us.
Nashville I could see being very interested in Hodgson after getting spurned by Spezza.
A decent young center with some offense signed long term and no NMC?
If Hodgson wants out (or Murray doesn't like him) thats where I'd be calling.

I wouldn't mind a quantity type deal. For example:
Weircoch+Puempel+2nd rounder next year
for
Hodgson
We fill needs (offensive D-man for the rebuild, pure sniper with a big frame)
I prefer Ennis over him and I think TM sees it the same way.
Nashville was the team that I was thinking of and was slipping my mind.
They could definitely be a team to talk to about CoHo, too.
Only thing is I'm having a problem finding a 'fit'
Ryan Ellis maybe works value-wise, but he's a RHer and we have a sea of those. Would they give up Forseberg for Hodgson? Probably not.
