EDM

Bjork, Anders

Additional Details:

could use a change of pace too and more suited for bottom 6 physical roll.

BUF

Hart, Carter

Additional Details:

philly is clearly starting in a rebuild right now. Harts value is probable not going to be higher in next few years with growing pains of young team. value wise probable best to trade him now if you think he won't stay long term.

Olofsson, Victor
Portillo, Erik [Reserve List]

2 future nhl caliber goalies and someone to add some bite to power play. sabers would probable add a pick or 2 but not a 1st rounder unless like top 10 protected and getting a pick back.

I wouldn't do that Hart trade if I'm Buffalo. Just stay the course and Levi/Lukkonen/Portillo will be one hell of a group of goalies.

Edmonton says no, Buffalo says no to that 2nd deal. UPL or Portillo maybe but Levi is untouchable right now, especially as Hart has been pretty mediocre at best

Right idea - wrong player in the Murphy trade. Weissbach turns 25 in April. He doesn't fit the Hawks rebuild window at all age wise. Also not sure he's ever gonna be an everyday NHL'er. If the 2nd rounder is the Vegas pick (a late 2nd) Hawks will want a high end young F with top 6 upside. Think Neadeau, Bloom, Rosen type prospect.

I know you want to keep all your prospects, but CHI isn't taking BUF's scraps for our best defensive defenseman. If you can't include a late 1st, which it isn't looking like BUF will have any available (you could maybe bet on your 2024 1st being late, but that'd be risky), It should take a pretty good prospect to get Murphy done.

Mans really just traded both Portillo and LEVI to acquire an slightly above average goalie? Dude just sign a UFA and keep our elite goalie prospect. Portillo I'm not expecting to sign here, so deal him for a pick or a prospect

Why would the Flyers trade their young franchise goalie for prospects? He's a stud, and they have their own goalie prospect depth. You want Hart you're going to have to blow them away...this doesn't even get them on the phone.
