My attempt at Provorov and Toews

The Chicago trade is a bit high for a player that doesn't really help the Jets but I could live with it if it happens.

I hope Chevy wouldn't consider the Philly trade. That's a pretty hefty price to pay to make a lateral move for a more expensive 2nd pairing guy.

Although I can't see Philly retaining that much for 3 years.

Toews trade could work. Hawks could have picked Johnsson-Fjallby off waivers earlier in the season if they wanted him, so they might take the picks.

Take off retention on provy

You got the Friedman quote exactly wrong. He clarified on 32 Thoughts that he heard from other GMs that they thought the going price for Toews would be a 2nd or a 3rd, and he made clear that this was not the asking price, but what other GMs thought it would be. I'm sure the asking price is a 1st and then they go from there . . . I can see a trade similar to the Mrazek deal . . Toews plus the Hawks 2nd (likely 33 to 36) overall for a First (likely 20-32 overall, depending on the team). And maybe the Hawks are protected, so if that first winds up,say, 28 or later, they get a 2nd or 3rd.

The Mrazek trade is not comparable to the potential of a Toews trade. Mrazek was a cap dump, Toews is not. Toews is worth more than 10 spots in the draft, especially when mid-late first round talent is going to be overflowing fairly deep into the 2nd round. If you were to say the TBL 2nd or a 3rd, I would be more susceptible to that proposal. This argument specifically pertains to the 2023 draft because of how deep it is going to be.
