I agree with the premise of all of these deals. I just think the value is off here and there. I think you undervalued Hampus Lindholm. Kurashev is certainly a valuable young player, but I think you’re overvaluing Mitchell. I think the Ducks would prefer Beaudin and I still think that on top of that, that 3rd needs to upgraded to a second to make that deal go through.
I don’t think the Leafs wanna give up Holl, he’s been excellent on their second pair next to Muzzin and only looks bad when Muzzin randomly gets injured in every playoffs. I know that you think this helps the leafs expansion plans, but I see them going 4x4 because Hyman is a UFA. The question for value in that deal is murky. Holl has been a more effective NHL player so far, while Nylander has tons of untapped potential. I really don’t know which team is giving up the higher pick to get that deal done.
I can’t say anything bad about the Seth Jones deal, if he returns to true form next year, that’s fair value for both teams. Moving on from Boq would hurt, but if it meant getting Seth Jones for the next 7 years, I’m totally fine with it. And Strome is a good candidate to play top 6 center on a team that desperately needs centers.
Overall, really good, but I think you just slightly favored the hawks in some of these deals.
