Description
I know there have been rumors about Dowd having crazy high value, but I don't fully buy into it. He's a valuable player, but I don't think anyone gives up a first for him. A second seems right. And since I also peg Colton at around a second, I thought there was a basis to work with.

I may be a little aggressive with adding the picks here, just because I do think Dowd will be in demand (partially due to his low salary), but figured I'd see what folks thought. Colton has double the points, which justified trying for the ask in my eyes.

The Caps might consider this but I doubt they would want to pay ontop of Dowd. Could see a 1 for 1 due to cap constraint but no chance they do this with losing positioning in the draft

I don't think they'd mind switching a 3rd for a 5th. I'd be interested in this deal nonetheless. It's intriguing that could help both teams.

I don't think I asked for the moon. Mainly just wanted to get a bit better pick to make the next trade.

Kovacevic for a late 3rd value seems right to me. Big RD on a minimum contract who can kill penalties.

I mean if Landy is fully Landy that’s one situation I could see (maybe the only one) where Ritchie plays 3C. I don’t know that Dowd is the right guy stylistically, check his NHL edge stats below 50th percentile in top speed and speed burst, and he is in the 96% for his shooting % (is that driving his numbers and is it sustainable?) especially between 2 speed merchants like Wood and LOC. Colton does look like the guy they could move for salary cap reasons.
