Excellent post.
I my opinion this is a good trade, but you may need to retain on both of the Sabres.
Good value for Karlsson, a former first, a first and a second. This is an underpayment based on 2017-18, but more than fair based on last year and his career body of work.
I really hope you could get for Scandella. IMO he is worth significantly more than many AG think is his value (5th and 6th).
Yes, I think other NHL GM’s will rate Girgensons and Larsson higher than most AG’s. Considering they both only get about 16% OZS, yet have nearly a 50% Corsi is a good measure of how effective they are controlling the puck. I would be surprised if their value dropped to a 5th, but I would not be surprised if it became a 3rd.
IMO FLA may pass on this. I really like how well Nelson has played this year, but Pysyk had the second best +/-, the best PDO, best 5on5 SV%, and the lowest OZ% of all Florida defensemen. Can you imagine anyone would trade him for Kulikov?.
I presume you want to move up in the draft? Probably not an equal exchange considering ANA will be close to 4th and 2nd while BOS and NAS will be mid or late 4th’s.

That’s a sneaky good trade for both sides with FLA...

I don’t think Tampa gets enough Cap Relief with that trade
So maybe take out Sheary & add a cheaper piece
Scandella had a pretty rough year
Maybe we could get a 4th, but that might even be pushing it
Definitely not getting a 3rd too
Karlsson is an interesting idea
I think with the Vegas Cap situation, that we could get a bit of a deal in him if we take some more Cap off their hands
Maybe take Haula, Eakins, Holden, or some combo of guys they might be looking to offload
Could be a win-win for both teams
Interesting ideas overall
Not too shabby
