Holloway doesn't move, having a cost controlled top 6 winger is something we are in huge need of

Thinking
Huberdueau-Couts-Lindholm(yes he's better at C but that could be a deadly line)
Mangiapane-Kadri-Toffoli
???-Backlund-Coleman
Ruzicka-Rooney-Lewis

Sens don't; need to add scoring they need D, specifically RD, so they ar not trading there best RD prospect for an aged van Riemsdyk to play the third line, cause he wouldn't make the top 6 in OTT.

Hell, take back Leddy and the Blues will give you a 24 1st and a 3rd. Or even a 2nd maybe. Of course he probably wouldn't waive...

Minnesota has no need for Justin braun

Regarding the Edmonton trade: to much by a factor of 4.

These range from way too much for Philly or way too much for the other team. Also retaining on all these players doesn’t make much sense

Your reason for sending Provorov to the Canes is quite flawed. Provorov would be on the 3rd pair in Carolina as it stands. Gardiner is LTIRetired, and Skjei typically plays for the season, whilst rarely missing even 4 games (discounting the 2019-20 season). Pesce misses his share of games, and since Provorov isn’t proven on his off side, making the move for Provorov is completely pointless. Canes will keep de Haan and the picks instead. Canes also have the RHD depth just in case Pesce misses games. So wasting assets on Provorov just so they can overload their 3rd pairing is not the smartest of asset management, especially when that cap space could be used instead to bring Patches back during the regular season and resign key players in the off season.

I get the Tampa was able to roll 3 top pairing LHD the past couple of years, but their depth also suffered, in the forward core, their RHD, and backup goalie positions, and they were also circumventing the cap by pulling the Kucherov. Canes are not in the same position.

Why do people propose stuff that doesn't make sense for the team(s) involved?

Does it look like Ottawa should need a "Tiny bit of scoring help"???



Exactly.

Awful value too

The Wild have traded away defense for nothing (Kulikov) because we had too many even with Merrill out for the first week or two of the season. I don't know why you'd think we would need/want to add Braun.
