-Edmonton is going to have to get creative with the cap to bring Evander Kane back off LTIR when he's healthy - why are they spending $2.75M of their limited cap space for a guy with 5 assists in 18 games? Much less giving up a pair of assets for him? Drouin has no value at this point with that cap hit and lack of production.
-So Winnipeg is gonna give up their 1st round pick in last year's draft (McGroarty) plus this year's 1st round for a rental forward who's probably a 3C when everyone's healthy and a guy who'd be their 4th best RHD? This is an insane overpay for this package - Winnipeg easily passes.
-Jake Allen has a .900 SV% and 3.26 GAA so far this season. LA's goaltenders, as a whole, have a 3.28 GAA this year. And you have the Kings giving up a 3rd rounder (plus a goalie prospect) for that "improvement"? Kings pass.
-Dadonov has 7 points in 28 GP and would cost $2.5M for a Capitals team that a)doesn't have the cap space and b)has at least 5-6 forwards better than Dadonov when everyone's healthy. Just like Drouin, it's going to take a radical turnaround for this guy to return any sort of positive asset - at this point, he's getting paid middle-6 money to put up replacement level production.
