Trades won’t fly and Mikheyev won’t sign for that.

Mikey will be an interesting one - tough to tell what he'll get on the open market - I think anything above $3M is too much. What don't you like about the trades? I think they're all fair - a 2nd for Holl might seem like a lot, but Arizona has 3 of them this year and they're right side is useless.

Re: Arizona-Sure, their right side is bad, but what's their motivation to trade anything of any sort of value for a guy who will be a UFA after next season? The likelihood of getting more for him at the deadline than a 2nd is prettttttty low. Might as well keep the pick and sign a UFA.

Re: Chicago-Muzzin has a full NTC, and is playing for his hometown team. There's literally zero motivation for him to waive that.

C'mon....NTC players aren't going from playoff to an out of playoff team
Why does Arizona give up anything for Holl.....and then you expect a UFA RHD Lubyushkin to sign for just 1.75m.
Those UFA signings are certainly favour the Leafs way too much in $$$$ and term.

Chicago is rebuilding. They’re not going to give up picks for a guy like Muzzin. He has no value to them.

Nucks take it

VAN decline, they are trying to shed salary and Schenn provides a bigger need for the club as a stable partner for Hughes and provides toughness.
