You've made the team worse and older with less of a future. Congrats

From what I've heard, Sillinger is untouchable, but maybe that will change with Fantili. No need for a goalie back so remove Daniil and the 3rd. It's probably an overpay from Boston's end honestly, but it's close. As for the other trades: McAvoy > Dobson, DeBrusk > Palmeri and the 3rd, and Nelson (while a good add) doesn't make up the difference in losing two young talented guys. Would rather keep the 2nd and Forbort.

Maybe, but it's really Dobson + 2 years of Nelson < 7 more years of McAvoy. Helps with win now, but kills you long term. Not that I don't like Dobson, if we didn't have Lindholm I'd love to work out a way to trade for him
