Notes:
- Chicago is not moving Saad. Not happening at this juncture. They'll depart with Sharp long before Saad. They'll depart with other pieces long before Saad.
- After TRADING for Leddy and Boychuk, this is not the year to TRADE for another top 4 Dman, not with Reinhart, Pulock and Mayfield already in the system and soon pushing for a job while belief exists that de Haan is still going to be a gamer. Patience. The 'temporary' number 4 Dman will have to come through free agency. A guy like Nekladal (UFA signing by CAL) probably would have fit the bill. Would think McQuad would look real good as a UFA signing.
- If Snow has ANY inkling that he'll not be resigning Nielsen as a UFA next summer, one who'll command 4 million per, and wants something specific NOW, then Frans has to be shopped as part of the talk/package. His value is still considerable at the moment. A good GM makes use of that in such a situation.
- I believe people in the business are seeing Nelson as a left wing in the long run. After seeing him centered by Eichel at the WC, I can see why. Thus, I don't know why he shouldn't be an LW option with JT going into next season.
