can't believe you have this title and zero trades with the Blue(s) Man Group.
-I think we've got a good stew going here - but I think New Jersey would add. Moynihan and Gritsyuk are more wildcard prospects than anything, so I could see pushing for someone further up the ladder (Nolan Foote? Shak Mukhamadullin?). Devils are tight to the cap though, and when Blackwood is healthy would have three goalies if they add Reimer - I think that you can either take him out of the trade, or push for Blackwood's inclusion to offset. They'll still need retention on Meier, but what could one retention even cost?
-Don't think there's a fit here for the Islanders but if you move Megna it's probably for a 5th or later. Decent depth body for a team that gets him.
-I think Bonino gets more, especially with retention. He's got tons of playoff experience, a few rings, and he's the type of gritty bottom-6 forwards that GMs LOVE at the deadline. I could see him bringing back a 3rd, easily, with retention.
-Probably fair value. Gregor has some value with a sub-$1M cap hit and RFA rights - a team can bolster their bottom 6 and have him be more than a rental, with the hope that a nu start will help him become a better player.
-Sure? Nieto's a solid bottom 6 vet, he's cheap, if he's healthy by the deadline, you're gonna get a few teams hopping on to that deal.
