Severe overpayment for Hertl. Take out Foudy or Marchenko and it's close. As far as Toronto goes, Nuti straight up for Kapanen would require the Leafs to add a bit. Milano would be better as a sweetener for a bigger deal.

You're severely overrating your players

Not sure I would want CBJ to have to re-sign Jones, Z, Hertl all at the same time

Not really overvaluing. The Jackets don't have a lot of top end prospects. So if the Jackets were to deal them it would have to be for a premium. Hertl is good but for that type of return he would have to be close to a point a game player, which he is not.

Columbus isn’t making either of these trade. Hertl would be nice, but you’d have to massively overpay to acquire him and I don’t think Columbus is in a position to pay that much for a player. As for the Kapanen trade all you're doing is acquiring something we already have in a middle 6 wing and a player you end up putting on waivers after anyways...

Not even close on Hertl. Try Marchenko, 2020 first and Texier

Hertl is a great talent, but Foudy is not in play. He is slated as a future top 2C, with huge upside, and could be as good as Dubois in the near future. Maybe Robinson? Or Lilja?

If all thats true then he would have to be to get Hertl. He is a 1c right now

San Jose would want better assets for their #1C.


And for the record, I really don't like the Toronto trade. I think we can do better for Nuti.
