Additional Details:
Detroit commits fully to reality, and therefore a rebuild. They sell one of their once highly touted young scorers for a couple hopeful forwards and a high end pick. Buffalo receives a potential playmaker who will be asked to regain his form

TOR
  1. Foligno, Marcus

  3. 2017 7th round pick (CHI)
Additional Details:
The Sabres come to terms and realize they will not resign Kulikov and bring him back for the coming years as a result of the Vlasic addition. Toronto grants them a 4th rounder and a veteran defenseman while asking for Foligno in return to add the missing toughness to their roster

Additional Details:
Salary dump. Dallas is also thin on defenseman

Additional Details:
Buffalo unloads one of their costly and unproductive deals while adding a young Centerman from Philadelphia's LOADED Center pool. Buffalo looks to add bodies to their own lacking prospect pool with a quality player who has NHL experience and potential

You've done this post with a 2016/2017 roster, and Hunwick and Kulikov are UFAs. Doesn't understand the "toughness" issue on the Leafs. Aren't Martin and Komarov enough on LW? One year of Vladsic shouldn't cost the Sabres Nylander. If cap dump Gorges isn't good enough for your self proclaimed poor defence Sabres, would any other team want him?
Seems like every team want to cap dump on Vegas and give them a 3rd round pick. Vegas appears to have 140m lineup and 30 third round picks.

Detroit's not trading either Nyquist or Tatar for more forwards, If we trade either it's for a top 4 LHD/RHD nothing less.

People act like nyquist and Tatar have had such bad years and need a change. Tatar is back in scoring form and nyquist has turned into a big playmaker for the wings. Would be tied for third in assists for you guys with eichel. He's been shooting less. Goal totals down. But getting way more Apples than he has in the past. It's he role he's developed on a low scoring team
