Ottawa:

Gives up: Turris, Ryan (1,500,000 Retained), Thompson, 2018 1st, Chabot, Logan Brown

Receives: Duchene, Kreider, McDonagh --- Ottawa gets a LOT better for this season, and manages to squeeze under the cap. They hurt their future a bit, but if you flip E.K in 3 or 4 years, you get a kings ransom to fix you anyways.

Nashville:

Gives up: 2018 1st, Fabbro, Saros, 2019 2nd, Craig Smith

Receives: Turris, Nate Thompson, Bobby Ryan (1,500,000 retained) --- I think the retained Ryan is what makes this deal fair for Nashville. They are a team competing for a cup for the next few seasons, I think that a lot of these picks need to be made "conditional" but that's too much mental balancing for me right now. If Turris resigns, they have an elite top 6 with two amazing centers to anchor a lethal set of wingers -- a truly complete team.

NYR:

Gives up: Kreider, McDonagh, Nash (2,000,000 Retained), 2019 2nd, 2020 2nd

Receives: Logan Brown, Ottawa 2018 1st, Nashville 2018 1st, Fabbro, Saros, Dubois --- Team is absolutely gutted now, and obviously this is a "Fallin4Dahlin" strategy, but good god talk about immediately rebuilding.

Colorado:

Gives up: Duchene, Soderberg

Receives: Chabot, NYR 2019 2nd, Nashville 2019 2nd, Craig Smith, Columbus 2018 3rd --- Colorado basically gets a 3rd and Smith for Soderberg, and Chabot + NYR and Nashville's 2019 2nds. Chabot and Makar instantly becomes a 2nd pairing and a future top pair combo, and if they want to flip Barrie, they can do that --- maybe Barrie should be built into this proposal somewhere (Columbus?)

Columbus:

Gives up: PLD, 2018 3rd.

Receives: Rick Nash (2,000,000 Retained), Carl Soderberg, NYR 2020 2nd --- They give up PLD who doesn't seem to be working out much in Columbus, and get back a solid Rick Nash, a perfect PK/4th Line Center --- maybe change Soderberg and the 3rd for Barrie and their 1st to balance it out.
