Hey Jeremy – I see a significant deal for a D-man at the trade deadline. Yzerman will weaponize his cap space and not relinquish his prime assets. I think someone like Faulk is likely in such a scenario. Something along the lines of Johansson and a 3rd may be enough if St. Louis doesn’t retain salary. If Power is somehow available, Steve could offer one of his prime goaltending prospects and more, but I think that unlikely until Summer if it happens at all. I think the picture will become much more clear after the olympic break.
I don’t see Yzerman giving up the assets necessary to obtain Werenski, but I do believe he’ll make a trade relatively soon for a solid top 4 LD. A big physical stay at home type with decent puck skills to pair with ASP would be ideal. All the D-men currently in the pipeline project as bottom pairing types at the NHL level.
