I think we'd buy out before giving up a 2nd

Nah, I'd do the 2nd.

I'm not sure I agree with most of this:

-With how much he's helped Provorov this season and just how generally good he has been, I don't think it's worth 2 24' 2nds to go from DeAngelo to Zaitsev.

-Even though I personally wouldn't mind moving Laughton, with the leadership role he's been playing there's no chance they move him for mid picks.

-With how low his cap hit is and how well he's played so far, I'm not sure I see the value in moving Tippett for a 3rd. Would hope to get something better for him or just outright keep him

-Lastly, unless he picks his game up I can't see Frost at 3C next season. With nearly 16 million in cap space and the uncertainty around Couturier, I think it'd be in their best interest to go out and spend on another Center (if he makes it to market, I could see Larkin being a very real possibility for this team)

Fair enough

I can see the reasoning for the first three points in terms of value, but man I do not want to see this team spending, as I doubt anyone besides a Pastrnak type moves the needle enough, especially when Hart starts to come back down to earth a bit.

Think Tippett winds up like his Cousin Mitchell Stephens and just never lives up to what he could have been ( mostly due to injury

Dallas accepts. Would love to see a defensive group of:

Heiskanen-DeAngelo
Lindell-Lundkvist
Suter-Miller
Hakanpää

You’re selling low on everyone
