Description

Barbashev & Acciari - I think this is approximately what they get in terms of picks. Dahlstrom is for contract spot. Nice adds that would help in the playoffs.

McCabe - speculated recently by Seravalli that Leafs are interested, cost for him at 50% is "around a first round pick". I did a 2024 unprotected first and a 4th round pick to make up for the fact that the first isn't 2023.

Puljujärvi and a 2nd - hear Edmonton is looking for an everyday player for JP and I think a Kerfoot swap is feasible. Holl has played great this year and can be very valuable to that team and Engvall has skill and a good shot they can stick beside the big boys to just rack up points. 6'5" everyday, just don't look at how he uses it ;). A 2nd for those two is fair in my opinion, if not then a 3rd and a 4th would also work. CAN RETAIN SALARY IF NEEDED.

Think these trades really help solidify our biggest weakness, the bottom six. Also gets us a cheap useful versatile defenseman for the coming years.
