Some trades are bad-valued, but most just dont make sense for teams.
1. Wilson was a key piece to giving Wsh the 2-1 series lead to be able to feel like they have a step up on Pit (and he got under their skin, which was vital). Coyle won’t be able to bring that element to Wilson’s extent to the point where he can get under skin.
2. The Flyers trade makes no sense for either side. The Wild have Dubnyk as their starter, and he’s not exactly and old man (even in hockey terms). Hart wouldn’t make the Wild til Dubnyk slows down, and that’s just wasting valuable years of Hart being backup or tandem to Dubnyk. The Wild also need Staal because he’s been a terrific 1C for them, and u just want to trade him away? And u want Minny to take on the player that hurts his own teammates?
3. The Coyotes are in more need of a RHD than a LHD. I doubt OEL moves, and with him, Chychrun, Hjalmarsson, Goligoski, and Connauton already on the Yotes, they don’t need Olofsson.
4. I understand ur reasoning on the Oilers trade, but Pulj is too young to be traded away. Chiarelli’s prob going to b an idiot and do it anyway, but it’s stupid to do it. RNH isn’t a 1C IMO. I think he’s a great 2C at best (maybe 1C on a bad team?). The Oils also have no reason to trade Nurse, even if they are gettin Brodin in return. Nurse is one of the few 1sts that Chiarelli’s actually kept and seen value in, and that says something. The Oilers need a top 2 D-man, not a top 4 (they already have enough of those).
