Description

ANA Trade: Sorry if I'm light here, assuming Vatrano is a 1st + prospect based on the ACGM's I've seen (maybe another pick?). My thoughts were:
Vatrano ~ 1st + Akey (B-Range)
Carrick ~ 4-5th

NSH Trade: Maybe needs a late pick too, like a 5th for retention, tbh I don't see this as too far off value wise.
Novak ~ XB
Carrier (Extended) ~ Ceci + 2nd

EDM: We upgrade our forwards to have 4 great lines and get a moderate RHD upgrade for Nurse while keeping decent draft capital next year. It also frees 2M in next years bonus (or 1.2 if you wanna run 22 man) while keeping our top 6 elite and under control.

Still gotta pay for Novak. We're good with upgrading you D and retaining for that return, you're going to have to pony up to include Novak.

Henrique isn't worth that much, maybe to another team but I'd be pretty pressed to see EDM move more than a 2nd for him.
Based off the few I've seen for Vatrano I estimated ~1st and prospect, if it's light we can move another pick.

It was XB for Novak and Ceci+2nd for Carrier, but with the recent buzz around Carrier and his play this year I could imagine the return might go up.

Vatrano has another season left on his contract and his current contract is a steal at $3.65 million. The correct comparable is Jake Muzzin at the least, and then there's the intra-divisional tax (plus paying for Carrick, which isn't much). I believe that the Ducks are going to make Vatrano a serious offer to re-up him, so it will cost you severely to pre-empt that possibility.
