The Arizona trades look fair but I'd suggest an add from the NYR side or the 33rd overall instead of the 16th overall on that Talbot deal.

Stepan is getting $6m+. He took a bridge deal for exactly that reason. Also, in agreement with the poster above on Talbot. He's not fetching a 1st rounder. He's got less value than Eddie Lack does, and nobody thinks Lack is going for more than a 2nd at the very most. Also confused as to why Haggerty would get a 3rd line slot. If anyone from Hartford is getting that placement, it's probably Lindberg, though I think Fast is more likely to get it.

There is no way Stepan signs under 5.5. Boyle isn't going anywhere, he has a no movement clause and there is no way he waves it to go to Arizona. I'd let Sheppard go and There's no way Miller gets that high of a contract. Also, from my understanding Sather really doesn't do much, he's just the head and Gorton does most of the work these days. So things probably won't change all that much when Sather steps down.
