OK ill start:
Edmonton trade: rumor here in NY is that Kreider wont accept a trade to a Canadian or west coast team so this one can be ruled out
Winnipeg trade: you are on the right track but any trade starts with Winnipegs first round pick and Andersson plus probably one more smaller piece
Ottawa and Arizona trades are fine
Devils would never do that deal.
I’ve never heard that rumor with Kreider not wanting to go to Canada or the West Coast. Is the value good in that trade?
As for Winnipeg, I was counting on the cap dumps to account for more and negate Trouba’s value more significantly. Because if you look at it, they get a top prospect in Lias Andersson, a B prospect in Joey Keane, a solid 2nd/3rd line player in Strome who has the upside to be a 45 point player, and a mid-2nd rounder. Then two contracts worth 4 mil+ are taken on. I thought that trade was alright, but not perfect.
My goal was to make a good trade without including any of our top D prospects or 1st round picks.
How come the Devils trade is bad?
Kulikov’s buy out does not have a very large price, and Shattenkrik could bounce back. But a very promising Goalie prospect in Georgiev, a 2nd and 3rd should make up for it all if you ask me. Unless Bastian has some upside or talent that I haven’t heard of, I’m gonna have to disagree with you on that one.
