What would Florida want though?
1st + Nurse + Yamamoto
Maybe add one of Bouchard or Broberg.
Really cutting into our depth/prospect pool.

And there is nothing wrong with huge boobs!If Ekblad is available you have to jump on that.
Only reason I could imagine him being moved is cash. Would be a huge boob to add Ekblad.
I'm not super familiar with Bill Zito, but he did have a lot of Europeans as an agent (particularly Finns) and he did run CBJ's AHL team, though in looking at them I'm not drawing a strong read on his proclivities, he didn't seem to have an issue with signing smaller guys, but in the AHL a lot of the best players are skilled midgets who while talented are lacking that extra something to push through to NHL success. While I'm not certain of it, based on his history I think he's a bit more inclined to take on a project player he sees upside in than Tallon was & I'm guessing based on who he was an agent for he values mobile puck moving D more than most.What would Florida want though?
No, no it wouldn’t.Koski + Nurse would be about the same cap. Would make us a cup contender for next 3 or 4 seasons.

Hell noWould you Nurse + Koskinen +1st for Price?
2nd and a 3rd was Talbot's cost. I'd think Murray is worth more than that. Not by a ton mind you, but a bit moreGregor said yesterday Murray’s value is a 2nd or a 3rd+ something else and wouldn’t return much more than Allen.
Hopefully that dumps cold water on the idiot Pens fans that think they’re getting Nurse of Klefbom for their goalie that was damn near unplayable for long stretches this season - like gifting them Marino for nothing wasn’t enough charity. “He’s still got it!” Bullshit. If he still had it he wouldn’t be on the next train out of town.

The above clues might point to him being interested in Puljujarvi, but Jarmo never seemed overly fond of him and he might hold a similar opinion to his old boss.
Team needs and composition wise, I'd assume they'd be very interested in RNH and have moderate interest in C. Jones & AA. I highly doubt a fresh faced GM would be bold enough to trade any of their core though before he has time to evaluate. The boldest roster players I could see this GM trading in the offseason are Stralman, Connolly, & Vatrano (certainly not enticing enough to land RNH). Prospect wise he might value certain young players very differently and probably holds CBJ's scouting reports in higher regard than Florida's own scouting reports.
Zito actually has a ton of room to reshape his roster through free agency with only 6 forwards signed for next year , so I'm doubtful he'll make big moves early considering how much he already has on his plate (Unsigned RFA's Saarela and Wallmark are likely in the mix to earn a NHL job, as well as prospect Owen Tippett).
Not with our defense it wouldn't. Montreal has a better defense than us and Price could only do so muchKoski + Nurse would be about the same cap. Would make us a cup contender for next 3 or 4 seasons.
Apprenticed under an excellent GM.
Rookie GM but no babe in the woods with agency experience and time in Columbus. Will be very, very interesting to see how Zito settles in with an inherited veteran big money and term Cup winner head coach who likely has some strong opinions on the roster in Florida. I imagine Coach Q will have significant input into player personnel.
Has never improved much in his NHL tenure, extremely slow first step and quickness, not a high offensive or defensive hockey IQ. His game looks like a canadian Klefbom. Overrated. Will be overpaid. The typical type of players the Oilers drool over due to draft pedigree.
He doesn't push the pace of play. He is not in the same stratosphere of upcoming dman like Hughes, Makar,Heiskanen, Dahlin.
I looked through every team & I counted 15 teams who might have use for him, most of those teams are in greater need than us for a goalie upgrade, I'd guess we get outbid, not sure I want to pay the price for a premium tandem partner in terms of assets and in term of salary dollars.I'd take a chance on Murray. I know goalies are voodoo but he is still pretty young for a goalie (26) and when he is on his game he is one of the best in the league. I'd be very confident with a Murray/Koskinen tandem.
I'd still say no but it made me stop and consider it.Not happening but what about,
Mcdavid, Neal, Russell for Barkov Ekblad and Spenser Knight and 1st 2020.
Im saying trade 97, but running 29 and Barkov up the middle, and freeing up so much cap space would be big moving forward.
Any takers?
