NHL is not Playstation my friend

Ok ok. Bruins will give you Pastrnak, Bergeron and McAvoy

First off it should be noted that a 5 for 1 trade is rare, because normally to get an elite piece, you've got to give up something big.

Now, show me how this works with the cap next year, with the knowledge that this roster will have significant cap overages

Under the assumption a Backes gets moved in the offseason or Krug. Further, it’s 3 roster players plus a prospect plus a 1st. When the Blues acquired O’Reilly they gave up a lesser package than what I’ve proposed. Karlsson got traded for multiple pieces also.

Ya the Karlsson package was similar, but tank has four years left.

As for the cap, this year they'll likely be 2+ million over the cap, so take that off what you can give mcavoy and the others. It would interesting to do one of these for next year, taking into account 2 million in bonus overage

not nearly enough. We would want Debrusk or Heinen and Carlo as a starter
