Description

VGK trade: VGK give Roy to take Dadonov (they want to re-sign Smith) and get back cheap depth with minimal value.

TOR trade: Dadonov at 2.5M has some solid value. Sandin’s NHL spot is in question so he gets moved with cap for a good player and a decent backup. Dadonov would allow Kerfoot to move to the 3rd line with Kampf and Ilya/Engvall/Kase to get that high end 3rd line teams want in the playoffs.

PHI trade: If PHI signs Johnny G they’ll have to open up some cap space. Ducks give some value for Konecny but not full value for taking most of JVR cap. *If PHI doesn’t sign Johnny then ducks could play Perreault and sign a depth guy for insurance.

Ducks will have ~30M to re-sign Zegras, Terry, and Drysdale plus fill out the roster. There will also be a few prospects that could be ready to make the full time jump one 23-24.
