After 23-24 TDL long term acquisitions

I’d rather have rempe kids a beauty

Hanifin won't be going to the Leafs if that's the best Treliving can come up with.

The CGY trade seems fine for the most part: Might ask for one more pick or so. Andrew Peeke is very physical but in terms of effectiveness and translating that physicality to good defense I don’t think Peeke is there yet. I don’t like the Laughton deal either his analytics are the equivalent to Kampf’s - in other words, terrible. If we can retain him, sure - but absolutely nowhere worthy of a 1st or a 2nd. I do like Kaliyev although LA will most likely demand more for him.

Yeah, Kaliyev deal for Hildeby and 2 3rds might take a bit more
It was related to an earlier 23-24 TDL one, TOR gets Laughton (whos signed for 3 yrs) and Seeler at TDL for a 1st, 5th and (cap dump) Kampf, so Laughton alone doesn;t quite get a 1st and Kampf is kind of a cap dump to PHI.
As far as Peeke, at 1.4mil for 2 yrs hes a solid physical RD, who hasn;t put it together, similar to Benoit, but he'd be a good 7th or insurance if Niemala stumbles, and as uneven as hes been (remeber its CBS), hes a better offensive player than Benoit by a long shot. But ultimately he, McCabe and Benoit are the physical dmen we need, while reilly, hanifan and niemala rush the puck. With Niemala in the NHL we have pretty much nothing at D in the prospect pool.

Columbus passes. If it's the offseason, they buy him out rather than paying to move him.
