for sake of argument lets say he waives his NMC. I like that you targeted NJ, they do need more Dmen, and with their still 20mil of cap space, they may look at this as a help today, and worry about tomorrow later. i agree it would need a sweetener of a 1st pick, i hope not a d prospect.
i know everyone like to cut him down, but i still see him as better value to contract than those guys you listed above: lucic, eriksson,backes. the cap hit is high, but if a any team can handle it it may be NJ. another option to save a top prospect is we can retain 1.8mil. making him a 5mil dman. here is my proposed trade:
TO CHI: Blake Speers
TO NJ: Seabrook with 1.8mil retained, 1st rd 2020, 4th rd 2020.
does this sound more fair?
