Thread: Ideas for a RHD upgrade at trade deadline
Although I'd love to keep him through the rebuild, Connor Murphy is probably a piece Chicago will look to trade in the next 12-13 months. He has another year after this one at just under $4 million.

So what about Murphy (50% retained) for one of Joseph, Volkov or ABB, Jan Rutta (perhaps the Hawks could then flip him again?) and the 2021 1st rounder? Then down the right side the Lightning have Murphy, Cernak, Foote/Schenn.

I'll be honest, if Johnson is included, I don't think there's a fit. 4 years is a long time and while I generally like Johnson, I want available roster spot in the next couple of years to go to our young guys. So hopefully taking someone off the roster and Rutta is a deal that works money-wise. And Tampa gets a top-4 defenseman with term for under $2 million

My 2 bits...

Most ppl will post & knock any trade from TB or what Detroit pays etc. They criticize 1st but don’t post their own ACGM. AKA They sit on their cloud

So on your offer...

Johnson with 4/5m remaining is a tough contract to move in these times. Age & term I cite. I believe Wings fans think he isn’t useful but their C’s suck after Larkin & want unreasonable demands. Wings are not close to contending let alone a PO push. They could absorb Johnson to help prospects develop. Filpulla isn’t a 2C & is better bumped down. They have no prospects in the system held back let alone becoming a 2C.

Best idea is to find a consensus on what it would take for TB to move Johnson. Beats criticism at every turn. Wings don’t need wore wingers tossed in. Goalie prospect would be ideal.
