-drouin deal feels like the kind of deal you'd see them make at the deadline - I can't see the Avs doing that over the summer unless they strike out on e v e r y o n e they're trying to sign
-i don't know if Anderson's cap fits into Edmonton's plans right now - they've only got about $15M in cap space and need to figure out their goalie situation and fill out their D depth before taking that plunge. not saying it's a bad move but not sure if it's a top priority for them.
-gonna defer to the Stars fans in here - I think that Petry makes sense for Dallas if they move on from Klingberg but i agree that a 2023 1st is a hefty price to pay. I think that you have to set your sights a little lower, or hang onto Petry.
-in a vacuum the value is fine on the Beauvillier-Dvorak trade but the Islanders aren't going to trade for another center when they already have Barzal-Nelson-JG Pageau-Cizikas with multiple years of team control left. Their main need forward-wise is on the wings, so trading one to get another center isn't really a move I can see them making.
-the Sabres already have a handful of young goalies with more potential than Montembault - I feel like they're going to be looking for a more solid/established guy if they're moving out assets for an upgrade in net.
