Massive overpayment in the EDM trade. Dumba alone gets you Draisaitl (value-wise)
I do like Stone (other than his skating) and if he came with an extension I wouldn't mind trading for him, but I think we're giving up too much here. I think if Sens trade him they're signaling a commitment to a full rebuild, so getting a guy like Nino from us doesn't make a whole lot of sense (Nino is very close to Stone in age, I think he's like 100 days younger or something). They'd probably want our 1st this year (which we probably shouldn't give up given that we've traded away 3 in the past 6 drafts if you count Tuch to Vegas) and one of our good forward prospects (not sure if Ek gets it done, might have to be Greenway which is not a good move for us). Basically I like the player, but the trade fit based on what OTT might want isn't there.
Not sure why we'd trade Staal unless we are out of the playoff races and it's a deadline move. If we did move him it would likely be Staal alone for a 1st and a 3rd/prospect and I could definitely see that happening if we fall off a cliff for some reason. I don't see why we'd move Hammond, he's allowing Kahkonen to develop in the AHL.
Vancouver trade seems like a bunch of lateral moves to me. Brown has been fine and he's very cheap. I don't think it's worth getting the other Granlund on the Wild.
