During Draft day amp after

Rob Blake would be mental not to take that trade for the Kings. First one I've seen that doesn't include a 1st rounder.

From a Buffalo POV, that deal is an emphatic 'yes' and I imagine the Sabres would even add a medium prospect or depth player - but the questions are: 1) do the Hawks want to trade Murphy rather than keep him as mentor for their youth?; and, to a lesser degree, 2) does Murphy have Buffalo on his M-NTC list? If so, if the Hawks came to him with the intent to move him, I'd assume that his history with Granato would favor Murphy agreeing to a Buffalo trade.

Can't see GMCM moving back a full round to take on T.J, even half retained.

Not a bad effort! Kings won't want Blackwell - they have more forwards than they can play already. And Hawks keep that 4th. Takes Turcotte at a minimum to move Peterson. Murphy doesn't get moved for less than two 2nd's or a 1st. Not sure the Hawks take Mantha for that 3rd. They definitely don't send Dickinson back to Caps. Don't see why the Av's make that deal and not sure they have cap space for Johnson anyway. The trades all seem feasible as possibilities - just not built in a way that Hawks would make them as proposed in my opinion.

COL will pass on that.
