PHI probably accepts for the picks, Deslauriers had a good year, killed penalties, solid 3rd-4th line tough guy, but they just signed Hathaway for a similar role.

Definitely some nice moves to make EDM a deeper team

For Philly trade, it’s definitely more then enough value. I like deslaurier but idk if he is worth the contract really. Also the value wouldn’t get you Laughton if you were to swap briere wants a 1st+ for him.

Chicago trade I feel needs more value, add who you need to make cap work this season but with Chicago retaining 6+ mill you will need more then a 1st I’d say add broberg instead of Mckegg or Gleason and they consider.

Anaheim trade is solid.

Few tweaks and you are good.
Defence looks a lot better.
We know what ekholm and bouch can do.

Murphy should allow nurse to play more offensive as he is way better defensively then ceci, they will be a good physical pairing.

Kulak and bush are a steady shutdown pair.

I think deslauriers is overpaid but he does bring physicality to the Oilers that they lost with kostlin and bjugstad

True but you can find cheap guys or players with less term.
-Matt Martin
-Sammy Blais
-Marcus Foligno
-Cal Clutterbuck
-Maxims Comtois (UFA)
-Yakov Trenin
-Austin Watson (UFA)

Lots of options most these guys you could get with retention

You may not like the CHI perspective, but hopefully it helps understand why moving Murphy is a hard A$$ move. We have literally 7 LD prospects that need mentoring. Whether it's Vlasi/Phillips this year...OR Del Mastro/Kaiser/Roos next year or Korchinski/Allan the year after. Proper player development means you need vets to teach the young guys how to be professionals. It's the reason why Perry/Foligno got $4M each. It wasn't because they're worth it. As for value...ironically McCabe is the starting point for a comparison, BUT I'm not even sure the Hawks do that because of their player development needs.
