Speculation: Rumour, Trade, and Free Agent Speculation 2018-19

Likely a little replacement?? Based on what exactly. A 30th pick in the NHL has a 55% chance of not making it to 100 NHL career games. They have a 75% chance of being a career 4th liner or worse. Nobody picked in that area of the draft is LIKELY to be anything near Little.

He was generally rated much closer to 10-15th than to 30th. We'll see.

I think we'd have to add assets just to get rid of those contracts, just like the Mason trade; Kulivov for sure.

Kuli must be just about untradeable right now. But if he has a reasonably healthy season, that is no recurrence of his back injury, he should be moveable with some salary retention.

Perreault certainly should have value now. Assuming we keep him, he will still have value after this season - unless his production crashes.
