LA won’t give that up, much rather add a little more and get Sergachev or Chychrun

Nothing in that Kings trade worth a 1st round pick.

Los Angeles had 3 wings, not 1, exceed 42 points this season, and we're overfilled with left-handed forwards so DeBrusk isn't the attractive target you think he is. Mike Reilly is probably worth a second-round draft pick if we decided to go that way, but we could just as easily re-sign Alex Edler for the same as Reilly's cap hit, and we would probably get the same results without having to expend assets to acquire him.

Debrusk definitely worth a late 1st but okay

No thanks.

I dont see NJ making that trade to finish outside of the playoffs, let alone that far back. If youre trading a star, id expect at best a mid round pick. Sabres lucked out with Vegas's pick and thats 16

Id say a protected 1st would be Debrusk's value rn. Whether or not LA wants to get involved is a different question

Mercer, 2023 1st, Wood, McLeod, #37 this year and a 2nd...all for one year of Pastrnak?

You've really overestimated :"trade" values for the Bruins players in the trades.

I don't hate the logic behind the Shattenkirk trade (Anaheim doesn't need multiple over-30 D on a rebuilding squad) I just think you need to give them more than the Press Box Grab Bag you gave them here. Steen is probably a bottom 6 forward at this point, Clifton is a 6/7th D, and two mid/late round picks aren't going to buy you Shattenkirk with full retention.

I think someone else could beat that Hague deal, but it's not horrible - gives VGK a bottom 6 forward who'll probably sign for under $1M while letting go a player they would probably have difficulty affording next season. They probably wind up rolling more Ben Hutton than they would like at LD3 next year, but having 6 D already signed to deals next season feels like the writing on the wall for Hague.

Grz would be solid as LD2 on the Islanders, just not sure how I feel about this package. Dufour made a big leap this season and the Isles need -some- young forwards in the system. I'd want to sleep on this one and see if there's something else we could configure that keeps Dufour in the org for now, but at the end of the day I wouldn't be furious at this trade if it happened IRL.

Kings would probably want to give you this year's 1st instead of next year's, but if that's agreeable I think it's fine. Reilly for a 3rd is CF Certified™, and DeBrusk for a pick in the 20s + a 4th rounder feels like okay value. I think if the Kings balk, there are other teams who would be happy to make this work.

NJ trade is tough - Pasta probably deserves a roster player, a prospect, and a 1st at least, which you have here. Wood's RFA rights are probably not that valuable to the Devils in this case, but I also think that adding in two 2nds (including 37th OA this season) tips it a little much. Maybe kick back a young forward to the Devils, or maybe do them the favor of taking Tomas Tatar off their hands instead of Miles Wood? Not sure how to even this one out - and if there's any deal that I think would make sense to mimic an NBA-style sign-and-trade, it would be this one - have the ink dry on Pasta's 8x$8.5M before you send him out the door to Jersey, just so they have that absolute guarantee of having him long-term.

Anaheim might be the only team to accept, and that’s only a maybe.

Trades are pretty bad for the other teams.

You lost all credibility when yoy signed Kane anyway.

I'd think the LAK skip the Reilly trade and trade mid rd picks for Hague.

Like I said I believe their would be some type of deal worked on pre trade so devils know he will resign, could even be a sign and trade

Never getting that for Pasta. I’ll do 2022 1st round round(2oa) and Holtz for Pasta

If there were a deal, would have to be sign and trade based on timing of draft (July 8) and first day he can sign extension (July 13). Alternative would be taking out any 2022 picks and do trade after draft.

Don’t holtz and mercer have around the same value?

That vegas trade is terrible. Why are we paying Roy to move one year of Dadanov? Could see us easily paying a 3rd sure.

What are you taking about dadonov and Roy aren’t even in the trade? It’s Hague and you might only get pennies to the dollar for him considering your cap unless you want pay big time for someone to take dadonov/karlsson or Martinez

No, I don't think he is

Isles happily accepts that Grzelcyk trade, he’s so underrated.

ive seen canucks fans ask for a 2nd for pearson if pearson is getting a 2nd then debrusk is getting a first. pearson is nothing better then a third line average scorer, debrusk is a 2way versatile scorer.
debrusk has more goals this year then pearson has in the last 2 not to mention majority near 90% of debrusks goals have came from 5v5

Obviously Debrusk is more valuable than Pearson, but just because X fetches this, doesn't always mean Y fetches something more relative to X. If Pearson fetches a 2nd, and there's no reason to think why he wouldn't because he scored at half a point per game pace this season, then Debrusk can fetch as little as two 2nd rounders, or maybe a 2nd and a 3rd

Read.

I mean, he just objectively is. A 25 year old 25 goal scorer is getting a first when signed for two more years at $4M. His 2022 was really good. 20 goals in 52 games

Are you really that confident an inquiring team is going to offer Sweeney a 1st for Debrusk this off-season? It's the GM's who set the market, and then the player agents latch onto the initiators
