It works cause they address their two needs Dmen & cap space ($300k) Moore is a serviceable Dman and Gryz is the pmd they’re looking for. I think Stone & Reilly are ahead of Tuch on the RW, so trading from a position of strength. The only thing that might not work is no real replacement for REaves & Tuch. So maybe Gryz, Heinen & Backes 50% retained?That deal makes even less sense though. They're moving 7.5M in cap but acquiring 7.15M in cap. The only true player of value they're getting in this deal is Grzelcyk and he'll be an RFA so they'll need to re-sign him. Meanwhile they now have Moore for what? 3 years and Backes for 1 year.
It's going to take a lot more than that to get Alex Tuch. They're not doing Boston any favors, which is all that deal would be; a massive favor.
Remember, they’re looking for a Dman first, cap space second.
