How about Necas, 2023 first, 2024 2nd, Bokk and Suzuki for Pastrnak (8x10 extension included). The 2024 second is conditional: if Pastrnak scores 100 points, it upgrades to a first.
Probably is a lesser return than what he would normally get, but there are rumors starting to come out about him seeing how Krug and Krecji were dumped by Sweeney and how he might want out. Take it with a grain of salt, since they are rumors, but those kinds of rumors will hurt your value. One way or another, if Pastrnak isn’t signed this off season, I think he walks out of Boston.
I can’t really see many teams really wanting to give up what Boston would want for Pastrnak when they could tank this year for a shot at Bedard and then sign Pastrnak in the off-season. Assuming he isn’t traded and then proceed to walk, I am pretty sure he goes to a team who is in the prime of their cup window or a team whose window is just opening. Carolina might be willing to give up most of the pieces that Boston would want, but if the rumors are true, his value sinks a bit, and I think the Bruins would have to settle either for the best offer or nothing at all.
For a Pastrnak trade sweepstakes, I think the front runners would be Carolina, LA, Dallas, Anaheim, NJ, Detroit, Ottawa, Buffalo and maybe NYI.
