Also, running with the idea that Eriksson-Ek could get moved, there seem to be a variety of RW's out there that are in a similar position: holdover prospects from a previous regime, and either haven't made their way into the NHL yet or have struggled while there.
Do any of these guys seem like appealing targets?
Jesse Puljujarvi - The Oilers liked Eriksson-Ek in his draft year, though with the changes coming in Edmonton I'm not sure that matters much. Puljujarvi's got all kinds of red flags at this point, but I don't think he's a totally lost cause either. A change of scenery and a move to a team with a Finnish captain might go a long way for him.
Alex Nylander - He's struggled to break onto a team that seems like it needs wingers, but he's actually looked pretty good in the few NHL games of his I've seen. Again I wonder if a change of scenery and a fresh start wouldn't see him break out. And the Sabres could use some center help with Mittelstadt still working things out; not that Ek doesn't have his warts, but they're kind of the inverse of Mittelstadt's.
Jeremy Bracco - I think he's probably someone that Toronto keeps to fill in after they make whatever moves they have to to keep Marner. Still, they're pretty flush with RW's and if they move Kadri they may find a young, inexpensive center attractive. I have some real concerns about how Bracco's game, especially his skating, will translate in the NHL though.
Josh Ho-Sang - I don't really like the idea, but who knows? It'd keep things interesting
