We don’t know what impact this condition has had on his body or his mind. It’s only natural to temper expectations a bit. I am betting on him because he seems like a hard-working kid and I think he is finding ways to improve even while he can’t skate.
TLDR:
MN
Dumba
Ek
Talbot
2021 1st
Buf
Eichel
no way I'd consider it.

As someone dealing with long term effects of COVID, I'd honestly trade Rossi over Boldy. I was a NCAA baseball player and still worked out 4-5 times a week. I was in better shape then prob 90-95% of the general public. COVID has absolutely decimated me to the point where I get winded walking up stairs. I'd worry about Rossi's future and development. That being said, my offer to BUF would be:
Dumba
Rossi
Both '21 1sts
Rask
I bet that could get the deal done and wouldn't ruin our team currently and we could still deal off Bonino, Johansson, and Bjugstad for whatever futures we can get. (Prob 3rd to 7th round picks at best)

I guess I value our 1st and EK way too much since I wouldn't do that deal. But sounds like that's just me since it seems like others would do the deal from a wild perspective at least.I'd do that deal in a heartbeat. No chance that Buffalo would agree.
That's a very fair offer, IMO. Loved the way you slipped in Rask at the end.As someone dealing with long term effects of COVID, I'd honestly trade Rossi over Boldy.

I'd do the deal.
Sell off the free agents at deadline if we are out. Hope for the best on a run if in.
Next year
Zucc Eichel Kap
Boldy Ek Fiala
Foligno xxxx Greenway
Parise Sturm Hartman
Brodin Spurgeon
Suter Menell/Addison
xxxx Addison/Menell
Mermis
Belpeido
Cole for minimum.Probably only ~$2M to fill those two open spots. Can be done, but it’d be extremely tight.
Cole for minimum.
Hartman/Parise to center if we can't fill with a good deal. Mayhew/? For the 4th line rw?
Deal Hartman thats another 1.8m
Cole is better than a league minimum guy, but we do have options with guys like Hartman, Foligno and maybe even Talbot.
Assuming Eichel is out of our price range, what do people think about Kuznetsov? Washington fans seem to be overreacting to a poor start to the season for him and are willing to let him go. Who know s if their management shares these feelings, but if you can get him without touching Boldy/Rossi, I think you pull the trigger. They're fans were fine with Dumba + Pittsburgh 1st + Bonino for Kuznestov + Jensen. That would give us this for next season:
Zuccarello-Kuznetsov-Kaprizov
Greenway-Rossi-Fiala
Boldy-Ek-xxx
Foligno-Sturm-Parise
Suter-Spurgeon
Brodin-Jensen
xxx-Addison
Talbot
Kahk
still have a first likely in the 10-20 range
