He has one year left on his deal and a major hit to his value is that he is super injury prone. He waives to edmonton for one more chance at the cup and with his one year deal he won't have to stay there too long(also he is Canadian so he won't mind the change of countries for one year) he is 35 and the fact he gets injured all the time lowers his value a fair amount. A second and a goalie prospect is fair value for a 35-36 year old injury prone goalie with one year on his deal.

A 27 year old good puck-moving defenseman that can play on the left side is something the islanders would love right about now. Not only is lindell signed long term but he is still in his 20's and can shore up that left side for the island. This is a great alternative for lindholm as lindell is already signed and will cost less. You take paink back the other way for cap purposes and get a great young d-man in salo a future first in a stacked draft class and bellows is a great addition(I was thinking of adding raty instead of bellows but that might have been an overpayment) this is a great deal for both sides as the isles get lindell to help that d-core now and long term and the stars get a first and two great prospects

Capitals don't give up much for suter at a cheap price. He helps their left defense,brings experience and on a retained contract. Dallas gets a 3rd and two prospects that fill prospect holes (RD,RW)

Alright this is a massive one but hey I am taking a risk with it so here we go. The flames need to go for it now they have a ton of guys on overpaid deals that still can play good hockey but not their moneys worth. The flames major issue is offence and benn and seguin bring that. They get them retained and their contracts run near the same time as other major contracts they have on reatined salaries (coleman and seguin expire the same year,tanev and benn) this could be a great move for cap releif. They go for it hard the next 3 years and once that ends all the contracts are off the books and they can start a rebuild. Lucic heads back the other way for salary reasons. The stars get two seconds a first and zary as the main piece. I wanted to move on from seguin and ben here and the flames were the most reasonable fit when it came to teams with a contending roster,cap to give back,in a different division and some form of assets to give. Benn provides great physicality for the flames in the playoffs and can still be a 40-50 point guy and has great experience, seguin is still 29 and can be a 60-90 point guy when healthy on the flames. This trade would be a very all-in move by calgary but with how their contracts and roster is stacked up the next 2-5 years they might have to.

Hugo has instead of johnson in the suter trade
