-I feel like you're giving Dallas too much here? Gurianov might pop off in a better environment but I think giving up Robertson & Sandin is a big price to pay for a solid middle-6 guy and a defensive bottom 6 center in Glendening - you're basically moving out talented youngsters to take in middle 6 guys with higher AAVs. Even with the extra picks coming from Dallas, I'm not really a fan of this one. Think you get a better return with this pair of dudes if you want to move them together.
-Islanders say no. Kerfoot is fine, Anderson is whatever, but there's no one in the org ready to step up and play RD3 right now - and have you seen what's left in UFA? I could understand moving Mayfield as part of a deal for a slam dunk top-line winger, but Kerfoot would be a middle 6 dude on a team with a bunch of them already. Isles would pass.
-I can see the value here but I think Vancouver would make you take something negative back here, or add a little - TML is sending out about $9M in cap and getting back $6.5M. I think Nylander has very similar value to Miller as a player (Miller gets the slight bump as C > RW but Nylander gets some extra value with an extra year of term.) Schenn and Holl are probably equal in talent, so the money becomes the sticking point. Vancouver is already $2.75M over the cap right now, so they're probably at a money in, money out position. Jason Dickinson & Tucker Poolman's cap hits would basically even it out, but both those have some term and they're really negative value deals, so hilariously maybe Vancouver sends back Travis Dermott's $1.5M to get it close? I dunno.
