Haula is headed into the second year of a two-year deal that carries a $2.375M cap hit. With Zacha in need of a new contract as an RFA, Haula provides some cost certainty for the Devils ahead of the free agency window opening. Haula had 18 goals and 26 assists (44 points) in 78 games with the Bruins in 2022.

Zacha is a pending RFA who is coming off of a three-year deal worth $2.25M AAV. The 2015 No.6 overall pick has never fully unlocked the offensive potential he flashed as a Sarnia Sting (OHL). The 25-year-old is coming off of a 15-goal, 21-assist (36 points) season in 2021-22.

Mismash was a second-round pick in the 2017 draft and turned pro in 2022 after four years at the University of North Dakota. The 23-year-old winger had 12 points (6G / 6A) in 57 games with Milwaukee (AHL) and will likely report to Syracuse (AHL) next year.

Myers was traded to the Predators last year as a part of the Ryan Ellis and Nolan Patrick three-way trade. He appeared in 27 games with Nashville, posting one goal and three assists (four points). Myers should have a chance to crack the Lightning's blueline rotation to start 2023.

McDonagh has four years left on his seven-year deal that carries a $6.75M AAV cap-hit. The Lightning recently approached McDonagh to waive his no-trade clause in an effort to clear some cap-space. The Lightning have two key UFA's in Ondrej Palat and Jan Rutta and this trade could help get both of them under contract. In Nashville, McDonagh joins Roman Josi, and Mattias Ekholm as the Predators' new big-3.

Olivier was a key member of the Predators in 2021 but fell behind the eight-ball with an injury in 2022, spending most of the year in the AHL. The rugged winger has seven points (3G / 4A) and 102 hits in 48 career NHL games. He'll likely be a fringe roster player for the Blue Jackets in 2022-23.
