Tanker competition in bold. Habs well positioned to drop towards 1OA
 
Deadline has been totally transformed by injuries. On the one hand, I think we’re in for a seriously bad spell with a quasi AHL team with a brutal schedule. On the other hand, it’s possible we’re stuck with Monahan and Edmundson.

There isn’t much to trade away, I think. Maybe Anderson. Maybe Dadonov. Returns will be modest.
 
The thing is the players we'd be dumping at the deadline (except for maybe Monahan or Anderson) aren't that much better than those replacing them, so I think it would have a minimal effect on the tank. Other teams like Arizona, SJ and Chicago have way better/more important guys on the block.
 
According to Leaf world politics thread, there is now a plan for Russia to draft/mobilize its college age students to throw them into the meat grinder on the steppes of Ukraine. Does that affect anyone's view of drafting Michkov?
