Boston isn't willing to give up that. Vesey had his chance to be a Bruin and passed, were all-set. Hayes and his family convinced Vesey not to sign with Boston, were all set.

You're really overvaluing all of the rangers in these trades

The first two trades are fine (although I don't see Fast getting moved)

But there's no chance Boston is giving up Debrusk, JFK plus a 1st for an average 2C and some depth players.

I wouldn’t trade debrusk straight up for that package.

Oh boy that Flames Ranger deal is bad.

Flames wouldn't give up Valamaki for that offer straight up, let alone include a 1st round pick AND Bennett. Yikes.

For Zuccarello I think the deal would be something closer to 2nd round pick in 2020 (the 2019 2nd is already the Islanders pick) and perhaps Matthew Phillips (prospect).

I can't imagine it would be much more than that. Pick+prospect. MAAAAAAYBE they do their 1st round pick, but nothing else would be included with that pick. They won't be too interested in Nammy and his 4m cap hit for next year. Pass.

I think Zucc will go to the Flames for a first, NY may throw in a pick in the last two rounds but I assume they would want to hang onto as many of those as they can. Ideally what I would want to see is:

Zucc
5th

for

1st
Matthew Phillips

On behalf of myself and the cap space I yearn for, I'd like to counter propose:

a) 3rd for McQuaid with $1m+ retention
b) Prospect + 3rd + Horton for McQuaid
c) 2nd + Zaitsev for McQuaid + $1m retention

Justin Faulk + Haydn Fleury for Kreider + McQuaid
