That’s a significant overpay for Mikkola and Barbashev

These seem like pretty reasonable returns. If this is the ask and Toronto is weighing Horvat vs ROR, I'd definitely take ROR compared to what I think Van's ask would be.

I don’t see ROR returning that much.

Same with Tarasenko, but I don’t know how desperate the Flames are to unload Lucic’s contract, so maybe it could happen

I think the Isles pass on that - Aho has been more valuable than Mikkola (and is cheaper) so I'd nix both them from the deal to start. Retention wouldn't be necessary on Barbashev, so save it for someone else if you need it; and beyond that, I don't know who Barbashev improves on in the middle-6 (when everyone is healthy) - top 9 wingers for the team right now are Anders Lee, Kyle Palmieri, Zach Parise, Anthony Beauvillier, Oliver Wahlstrom, & Josh Bailey. Only guys I see him really pushing out are Bailey & maybe Beauvillier? Just feels like giving up a pair of 2nd rounders for a minor upgrade on the 2nd or 3rd line wing, you know?

A bit high on the returns, but would certainly be happy with anything close to this. Might as well sell Acciari for a 3rd.

Aho has quietly been doing very good, and even "taking him back" he's making below $1m the Isles could just bury the contract. He isn't a negative asset

We don't reek. We're a good team that will play well for most of the game and then self-inflict weird damage with brain naps, often bunched in a short, calamitous span. And somehow, some way, they simply refuse to let a learned lesson stick. It's f****** infuriating. I honestly don;t know how Chief has any hair left. It must be made of brillo.

Yea I just don’t get it. Like we know how good these guys can play but they just don’t. I honestly think a huge sell off needs to happen, ROR, VT Barby.
Krug traded this off-season
Sign a guy like gavrikov

Enough thinking of huge sell offs. There's time for that later if need be. Right now, we need to get their heads pulled out and play smarter hockey. The Blues don't just throw their toys out the pram and run home to quit. Right or wrong, that's not how the organization thinks. And that's not how they finally won a Cup, either.
