Quoting: HoffmanisKing
No way Arizona gives up DAHLIN for one first round pick (the other one Ottawa is gonna take back cuz Top 10) , and 2 prospects. DAHLIN is tooo good.
If OTT gets the 2018 pick back, then they give up their 2019 first. Which in this scenario, would go to ARI. Two firsts, Jost and Timmins is easily worth 1OA, even with Dahlin sitting there. Might even be more than I would be willing to pay. Plus one of those prospects is currently doing fairly well in the NHL this year. The other was the WJC Gold winning Team Canada's best defenseman, and currently the best D in the OHL.
I still maintain that if a pick is involved in a Marner-Barrie swap, it is head TO Colorado. A 60pt D is worth more than a 55pt F. Then add the cap dump Fehr...COL gets the pick. I like Marner, so I might do 1for1, but I doubt GMSJS.
Not really understanding the lover for Lindholm....but this one is predicated on gettign Korpisalo....no way the Avs run with Hamburgler as long term backup.
So it ends up being [Bernier, Wilson, Soda and a 2nd] for [Korpisalo, Lindholm, and JJ] with $1mil retention taking up space. I think CBus wants 50% retention on Soda to give up Korpisalo, and I dont think you have to retain on Wilson....they want rid of Cole and will pay the 4th gladly.
I get what you are trying to work here, and it is a valiant effort. But the damage to the locker room by giving up 4 guys would be huge. Especially Barrie (MacK's bestie and loved by all the guys). Maybe some of it would be better as draft floor trades (the ARI trade would have to be). Overall values do not seem too far out of whack, aside from the cost for Marner.
