* I'd do Suzuki for PLD straight up. However, it screws up our cap cause Suzuki is on his ELC for two more years. So this one falls through with me.
* Obviously we would do Danault (sign/trade), plus a shit load of futures. Pieces like Caufield, Poehling, Norlinder, Guhle, 1st round picks would all be on the table.
* PLD for KK is interesting but I'd hate to trade Kotkaniemi at this stage. Maybe we wait for the first 15 games to give both the Blue Jackets and Habs time to evaluate Kotkaniemi. Then we have a 6 game break and that's the right time to make that move.
Honestly, I hope that PLD does not get traded this season and we circle back in the off season. But Danault with extension plus futures would be unreal
If the Jets are looking at Laine for PLD... I don't think we can touch that. All we can hope for is PLD gives them trouble on his next contract and wants a fast ticket to UFA. Maybe the Jets would be concerned about that.
