2 1sts, a 25 year old top 4 dmen, Newhook who is another 1st and a top goaltending prospect for a 29 year old who's prime wont last until the rebuild is done.

Its absolutely a lot of retention but thats a legit return.

I know this is a fantasy site but lets at least pretend to have a shred of realism in our trades. Obviously SJ doesn’t retain nearly 30 mil to help the Avs with their depth issues.

Its a really great return for Hertl, but its quite a bit more than a lot of retention. I have a hard time imagining San Jose doing 4m in dead cap for *seven* years. That extends well beyond our rebuild timeline. Not saying its impossible, but retaining millions on Karlsson is already looking like a hard sell and that's only 4 years.

Hawks decline. Rather have Johnson in the lineup next season. Hawks have enough bottom 6 guys already.

They still have 4 years of rebuilding left and by then the cap will go up. Like I fully get that its a massive level of retention but I don't think it matters as much as people think it will because if SJ is capped out at any point in the next 5 years then they likely did something very stupid.

He'll be traded either way and honestly the Cap works better without spending 2.5AAV on a 4c but his last name is Johnson which is important for these purposes and CHI is rebuilding so its not like the actual roster matters much. Its mostly the 'Colorado taking on players for free' more or less after the RyJo move

Since when is Annunen a top goalie prospect? Seems rather unrealistic

Dude this is an internet forum. Saying “don’t comment” is the exact opposite of the point of this site.

They still have 4 years of rebuilding left and by then the cap will go up. Like I fully get that its a massive level of retention but I don't think it matters as much as people think it will because if SJ is capped out at any point in the next 5 years then they likely did something very stupid.

He isn’t. “Vibes” only.

I'm going to disagree with you on a few points here. First, yes he will get traded but not for some tweener that's close to being an NHL bust if he didn't pan out in the next year or two. I'd rather have the draft pick. Second, the roster does matter and Johnson is a good team guy. You want the culture established with good team guys.
