Boston says no at that price, way too high

Some of these are very optimistic.

You are absolutely fleecing Seattle to the point the GM would be instantly fired

lol you would consider a 2nd as well for that hatheway deal?

ya, take out merkulov, and the bruins would give you a 4th. who do you think he is? that's about 20x what he's worth.

as for the rest, a simple, "everyone says no," will suffice.

Jackets obviously decline. They aren’t trading their best forward and biggest UFA signing in franchise history for a guy who is most likely getting bought out this offseason

wayyy to unrealistic. Hathaway is worth swayman and pasta. maybe even Marchand on top of the first and georgi.

Well, just about every team not named the Flyers would decline those offers before Briere is finished making them. Some explanations as to why for each deal:

1. Gaudreau has a full NMC and is much more productive than Atkinson. This is probably one of the only trade ideas that has a modicum of a chance of happening due to their respective contracts but I still don't see it.
2. Peterson spent most of this past season in the AHL. With his cap hit, he's still has negative trade value.
3 and 4. Ellis and Johansen's hockey careers are all but over due to injury. The Flyers aren't getting anything of value for them, they'll likely remain on IR/LTIR until their contracts expire.
5. Hathaway's a bottom six forward. He won't fetch a first round pick in a trade (or a second, for that matter). Trades like the Goodrow/Jeannot deals are the exception, not the rule.
6. That's the type of return you'd get for an elite player, which Laughton is not. Laughton is a solid middle six forward with versatility, but his trade value is not and has never been anywhere near that high. He strikes me who's value to the Flyers exceeds his value to other teams, so I doubt he's going anywhere.
7. I guess I could see a team tossing a late round pick the Flyers' way for Poehling, but I doubt it'll be as high as a fourth, since Poehling was non-tendered just last offseason.
8. UPL had a breakout campaign, I doubt the Sabres are itching to trade one half of their present/future tandem when they've finally achieved some stability with it.
9. Beniers is the cornerstone of the Kraken franchise and basically untouchable. He's not going anywhere anytime soon, especially not with picks for an AHL defenseman and a noticeably inferior center.

I'd like to see all of these as well except Poehling trade, but let's be realistic. All the other trades are heavily favoring us.
