-Feels like Nashville might hold out for a little more here - even in general, I feel like Winnipeg would have to give extra to convince Nashville to take their 2025 2nd instead of the 2024 they already own; when you factor in that the 2024 2nd is key to your offer sheet, well, I think a good GM would hold out for more than a warm body like Jensen Harkins as a sweetener.
-Shane Wright and a 1st is a huuuuuge price to pay for a Mark Scheifele rental. Seattle would pass on this.
-Flyers pass. They can more for Konecny than a 1st, a mid-tier prospect, an expensive bottom-6 guy, and a couple other pieces of flotsam.
-Chicago got a 2nd for eating 1x$5M of Josh Bailey; I think they would need more than a 3rd & an AHL forward to eat 2x$6M of Nate Schmidt.
-Isles wouldn't make this trade. The value isn't terrible, just a little "quantity over quality", but nothing that Lou Lamoriello has done this year strikes me as a team that's going into a rebuild. If Lou move Dobson, it's not going to be for futures - it's going to be as part of a package for an established NHL star.
-Heinola to me would be better used in one of the other trade packages - he's not the sexiest prospect, and probably needs a change of scenery, but dumping him for a 3rd and a guy picked in this year's 7th round is selling very low on him.
