Schultz for Muzzin (retain as needed). Assuming JJ was gone. Then deal with Muzzin and his extension/FA status next season after seeing more out of MP.
Dumoulin - Letang
Muzzin - Strallman
Pettersson - Gudbranson

They need/want a puck moving RD. They have Dermott who can step into that 2LD spot.

But they're already shedding salary to make room for (assuming) Marner, so adding a more expensive player like Schultz over Muzzin probably isn't ideal. Not to mention the cost it took to get Muzzin, Schultz alone likely doesn't do it.

Like I said - retain as needed. We could very easily make that a salary/cap neutral deal for them if they wanted. And basing decisions on sunk costs is never a good plan.
Little chance we could afford that. And honestly I don't think we need to go that far to the transition/puck movement.

What about Winnipeg, who’s losing Myers and Trouba, and what about Calgary who says they want “grit” and may be possible sellers on their ufas next year, Hamonic and Brodie?

Been pretty bad since his first year. Sometimes a change of scenery is needed. I think he’s pretty bad but I got Gudbranson wrong.

He isn't bad. Zaitsev has been solid but the leafs are impatient af and rushing everything.
Pretty sure the team sees Pettersson as a top4 dman moving forward if they are comfortable paying him 4 mil per. If anything, a top4 rhd makes more sense, or a puck moving 3rd pair left dman. I think over the course of the season, Niclas Almari will fill that bottom pair role. Really underrated.

No, Zaitsev is really bad. I'm not sure where this revisionism on Zaitsev came from but he's always been bad defensively and after that rookie season his offence has also disappeared completely

Glad we're getting the utter delusion out of the way early this July 1st. Are we also getting Weber for Pettersson because the Habs need an LD?

He's not a Penguin. I give very little f***s about how good or bad he is. I was just trying to be optimistic the kid can turn it around. Makes me some how feel better that JJ might grow a brain.

We are not at the level we need to be at with JJ still on the team.
Doesn't matter who they move at forward.
Doesn't matter who they move at forward.
And yet JJ isn't the reason we got our asses kicked in the POs.

I don't even think that's true. The biggest one would be to get the team (mostly the forwards) playing a sound two way style. Like how they did when Letang was out and how they did in the 15/16 and 16/17 POs. We can win with JJ. I'm not saying I'd want to try... but we've proven that it is possible - if the forwards play a PO style of game.
So while I too want him gone, the idea that we move him and most of our problems are solved is false - very very false.

No. Coaching was. But people wanted to blame one or two players. So let's not and say we did.
