With the trade deadline closing in, they're set to buy for the first time in years, mainly targeting a solid veteran depth defenseman to bolster the Blue Line.

Perraiko's contract stretches even longer to the 20-29-30 season, making him a risky long-term bet. Smarter plays exist elsewhere, like Calgary's Zach Wyclow, or Winnipeg's Logan Stanley, big, dependable guys on friendlier cap hits who fit as true.
