this prospect pool is stupid good it is not even funny

You're right about their prospect pool. But even their current NHL roster, has young stars or soon to be stars. Thompson and Cozens signed long term at 14.5m combined....disgusting for Atlantic rivals.
Yep, the Atlantic with Sabres, Wings, Sens and even Habs might see a turnaround in standings in the last half this decade. Though I expect the Leafs/Bruins/Lightning to be good too.

Pass on the first trade. I'm honestly tired of undersized d, we have dahlin and power to move the puck. I would pass on the second trade because strbak is exactly the kind of d that we need. Kuemper at 5 million is probably fine, but the term is kinda rough. Probably have more value when the cap goes up.

Atlantic is definitely set up to be an absolute best of a division, some great teams at the top already and every other team looks to be making strides as well! Gonna have some excellent teams missing the playoffs in the years to come! Makes for exciting hockey for us to watch!

Wouldn't do either of these trades. I like Nadeau and think he will be a nice bottom 6 addition in 2 years.

If Kuemper is available, I would be thrilled to see the Sabres make an offer. Out of the three you listed, I'd make Neuchev available (Sabres' scouting had him as a first round talent -- he looks good, but on the small side). There are other B-prospects we could add that are looking for a place to break in right now. I dunno -- maybe the deal listed works if the Caps retain a fraction of DK's salary.
