Description

Cause of cap constraints it isnt everything that's needed but its a start.

Chychurn is going to get a kings ransom given his age, contract and a lot of teams would die to have an elite ( near elite) two-way dman like him on their team.
For kessell, this is all contingent on Arizona willing to retain and take on kassian and barrie. I think they might be because they would need to reach the cap floor still and are getting a solid sum of futures in the trade as it. Maybe a condition on the lower pick but, other than that it seems pretty fair far a middle 6 rental winger.

As for the flower, this is the shot in the dark. I feel if the hawks come back down to earth then his value will be lower enough to poach but, if he can still play at high level and is keeping the hawks in games, goes to olympics, etc. then he'dbe out of the oilers price range. Which means a skinner smith tandem cause KOSKINEN IS BRUTAL (this is most likely scenario as LT golatending is probably going to be addressed in the offseason IMO)

Benson is on the cusp of being waived and doesn't hold much if any value towards this move. We would prefer to retain on MAF and get the better pick. If we took the 2nd it would have to be conditional that if you made the cup finals it becomes a 1st, particularly because we also hold the conditions on your 3rd becoming a 2nd.

they get a actual nhl middle 6 forward with term (helping to the floor), and 2 dmen that will be in their top 4 for a while and a pick around 20th a top 50ish pick and actually will have contracts beyond this year which is a major issue they have. plus kessel rention money off the books after this year too which the cheap birds in the desert will love. the additional 3rd probably is a stretch Ill agree with that.

Flower I think is a stretch to begin with. Holland screwed the pooch with the goaltending and put the team in too much cap/depth hell for any realistic move with flower (unless Chicago falls off a cliff). I was just trying to gauge what his value might even be given his cap hit and the team he plays for

You severely overvalue Barrie here.

Lets say 2nd to dump Kassian, that leaves Barrie Broberg and a 1st for Kessel at 50% and Chychrun. Barrie has been a disaster this year and is 30 with 2 more years on his deal after this one so his value to a rebuilding team is arguably negative. So that leaves Broberg and the 1st as the only positive value Arizona is receiving here
