I like the San Jose deal but resigning donskoi will cost close to signing nyquist. He's a good player really and San Jose probably wouldn't take that deal. Jensen is a third maybe and you can't squeeze a second out of him.

Playoff teams don't trade useful players at the deadline, especially when they're trying to acquire more useful players and accumulate depth. Wings don't even want Donskoi anyway

Donskoi was included to balance the cap hits. Let him walk in UFA. He's a decent player but Nyquist is a definite upgrade. The main pieces of the deal would be Gregor and Florida's 2019 2nd. Gregor is a decent but not blue chip prospect and the FLA 2nd is probably gonna be a top 35-38 pick. I'd consider that a reasonable return for a 0.8ppg winger in a saturated forward trade market.



I wouldn't necessarily want to re-sign Donskoi. He was included to balance the books for SJS. He's a useful depth piece but based on numbers he shouldn't cost nearly what Nyquist will fetch.
