I'd prefer someone else at #35, but that's a minor opinion. Bonk seems like Regula 2.0. Worse picks out there for sure, but probably higher ceiling picks as well.

100% agreed on a few over seas goalies though.

Pits 1st (14 overall) is worth 300 points
TB 1st (19 overall) is worth 238 points
TB 2nd (51 overall) is worth 58 points

So that's 300 vs. 296

Overall, pretty fair if Chi likes someone at 14 while Pit doesn't and would want a few picks.

I also think PIT not having a 2nd increases the value for them beyond pure draft pick values.

Both very realistic for sure. I would like the hawks to have 3 first rounders!

I'd be very disappointed if the Hawks gave up a 2nd and a 3rd in that Murray deal. Overpay in my opinion

I think there would be bigger things to worry about, and if the alternative is giving up a higher 2nd I would not be happy.

If Hawks have to give up more than the TBL 2nd alone to make the deal, then don't do it. Ranger's 2nd alone should be enough. Leafs need to move his contract.

If we can get Jayden Perron/Gavin Brindly then I think it’s worth it. We can agree to disagree though.
