Quoting: TML1991
what part is awful?
I could be wrong, but Mo / Forsberg seems like bang on value to me. Not making sense for nashville would be understandable
Ekholm for 1st hallander and abramov is pretty close to the muzz trade, which elliotte said they are looking for
is the value just off on the retention? that's an easy fix.
No, Reilly doesn't make sense for NSH. A smaller, offensive defenseman is much less of a need than Ekholm is for them. Reilly wouldn't be getting prime ice time or PP opportunities over Josi and Ellis, and it puts NSH right back in the position of needing to protect 4 dmen in expansion. Except now it's a more expensive player that doesn't compliment what they already have at all.
The value's off too though. Forsberg's a much more skilled and complete player than Reilly. Asking NSH to retain on Forsberg just widens the gap.
Ekholm for a 1st, Hallander, & Abramov is more or less what TOR paid for Muzzin, but you're asking NSH to retain on Ekholm this year and next. They'd need to be compensated for that.
While Forsberg wasn't officially on the rumoured "untouchable list" that's been floating around, Poile has stated more than once of late that it would have to be an offer too good to say no to for him to consider trading Forsberg. This offer doesn't have anything NSH would want badly enough to think about moving on from him.
