Additional Details:
Normally I'd argue Killorn is worth a 2nd and a 3rd, but this is an early 2nd-round pick.
2.
TBL
    I think one of three things happens with Sergachev:
    a) Offer-sheeted. If it's by CHI or WSH I'm throwing my monitor out the window.
    b) Traded for picks or prospects.
    c) Traded as a sweetener to dump Gourde. This would especially hurt because I still believe in Gourde. He's not that far removed from his 60-point season, and he's just been limited by playing in the bottom-6.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see DET end up with him somehow, so I chose them.

    Gourde was solid against CBJ imo. I think TB should sit down Johnson, Killorn, Palat and try to convince them to agree to trades. if so, they'd be completely fine. Wishful thinking tho.

    Well done. I think your asking prices are reasonable. Signings look good. The last one is too tough to predict exactly how will pan out so I really respect how you displayed that. Excellent work here

    Thanks. I tried to be as non-biased and realistic as possible.
    Teams usually don't trade away three of their middle-six forwards in one summer.

    As a Detroit fan I would happily take Gourde if he came with Sergachev. That being said at this point I'm pretty sure next season is the farthest thing from the players and coaches minds right now.

    I think the Sabres accept this trade and are very glad to do it. The only issue is they really need a right wing instead of another left wing.
