My take on the BOS-CGY three way deal

Created by: pretzelcoatl

Team: 2023-24 New Jersey Devils

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 24, 2023

Published: Dec. 24, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Valuations in 1st round picks

Lindholm rental = 1.5 (no retention)
Hanifin rental = 1.5 (no retention)
Mercer = 1.5 (young, nhl experience, pedigree, ironman streak, top 6 projection, can play C. selling low during mediocre year)
Swayman = 2 (expensive for a goalie due to age, importance to BOS)
2nd round pick = 0.5
Bahl = 0.5 (young, cheap, one more year at 1.05)

Calgary - Quality over quantity. Mercer will benefit immensely from heavy top 6 play with room to learn from mistakes during the rebuild. He will be a leader when the team is ready to compete again. If the Meier condition bumps the 1st to 2025, they receive the Devils' 2024 3rd as well.
In: Mercer, 1st, Bahl (+3)
Out: Lindholm, Hanifin (-3)

Boston - Lindholm extends and they bet on Ullmark staying sharp. Devils retain on Lindholm as needed.
In: Lindholm, 2nd (+2)
Out: Swayman (-2)

New Jersey - Mercer is a huge loss but the goaltending must be fixed at any cost. Hanifin is not extended; potentially weak LD is a next year problem. This is all made possible thanks to Dougie dying for our sins.
In: Swayman, Hanifin (+3.5)
Out: Mercer, 1st, 2nd, Bahl (-3.5)

I could live with that price as a devils fan but I'm sure boston fans would be against it because goalies never go for nearly as much as people think

Very good take. I like it for all teams involved.

Boston still needs a goalie though, maybe Vladar?

Bruins probably aren't interested in Lindholm at the cost of their long-term future in net. This is likely a non-starter, but the exercise of trying to balance it can be fun hypothetically

I personally don't like Vladar but it's not a terrible option. They could grit their teeth and run with something in-house, or they could receive Daws instead of the 2nd. It shouldn't be too hard to find a serviceable backup right now.

I agree I just want Swayman in NJ so badly

I totally get it. There are players that are clearly that missing piece and I think Sway could be it for a few teams. I don't think a lot of Bs fans realize how fortunate we've been to have high-end goaltending for over a decade straight now.

Daws or Schmid I think could be an option.

Devils aren't trading Schmid. Daws can pack his bags.

i like your proposal more than the last one. makes more sense for most teams, i agree a goalie going back to boston would make sense too.

Like it. Don’t think Swayman moves, nor Mercer, but seems fair.

Another alternative…and probably a dangerous road…is a deal that brings Ullmark and Grz to NJD, sends Hanifin and Lindholm to Boston. I started on it earlier but gave up.

Boston isn't gonna pay for both of them. Keep Grz in Boston, bring Hanifin to NJ

Sorry.
