Raddysh may well be awesome and a legit #1.

I'm wary, but if we do sign him i'd be hopeful.

I'm not really interested in Andersson tbh. I haven't looked closely but i don't think vegas has helped his nerdies at all, and he's not used in parcitularly big or tough minutes. But he's got definite name recognition that probably inflates his price too.

The problem with Raddysh is that if teams believe he's a legit #1, that doesn't come up in free agency that often, so you're probably looking a lot more like the 10m+ range. Heck, it wouldn't shock me to see some random team go up higher on him, someone with cap space and hoping the breakout is real.

To be clear, I'm all in on the McKenna train.

But what kind of offer would make you think twice about moving the #1OA?

A team I keep circling back to is the Rangers. High pick, in a rebuild/retool but with definite assets we could use.

#1OA
Joshua
Macelli

To the Rangers for:

Fox
Miller (maybe Trochek?)

Serious question though....if not Andersson, who? Are you seriously expecting 37 yr old Tanev to 1) Be not dead 2) be good 3) To not die in the pursuit of being good? Not filling the top 4 with good defenders in the summer is how you end up overpaying for Brandon Carlo's at the deadline and even if you don't think he's necessarily worth the contract he's going to get, he's still a very good #2 defender.

Only way I move the #1OA is if McDavid asks out of Edmonton.
