If I were Drury, I'd fix the defense first. Get a LD if Buffalo is selling. Then worry about JT. I'd do Laffy bc Miller would take his spot on the top line and be an upgrade for next 2-3 years. It'd open up $3+ million more in cap space. Then a Miller buyout would be super cheap, if we need to.

Would you do this?
Lafreniere for Miller (50% retained all 5 seasons)
I would
Only roster player I'd consider is Zibanejad in a contract/change of scenery swap.
But more realistically, I'd give them Othmann and a 2nd at the absolute highest price I'd pay.
