Good enough ig

That is a massive overpay for Ferraro. Massive overpay. He's a "top 4" defender on probably the worst team in the league. That's a big reason why they are the worst. They don't have good players. He's just another 3rd pair defender on a contender. The Leafs need more if they are spending such good young assets.bb

I think you need to switch Brodie and McCabe. This isn’t 2022. Lol

Nothing in your proposed trade package for Borgen would convince Seattle to part ways with him. Abruzzese is a 24 year old AHL winger who's running out of time to establish himself as an NHLer at all, and it's hard to see him getting that chance with all the other forwards the Kraken have. Lajoie and Rifai are minor league defenseman who wouldn't be any further up the pecking order in Seattle.

The Kraken appear to value Borgen quite highly, and given his role on the team and contract they're not inclined to move him. If any team wants to trade for him it's probably going to have to be an offer too good to refuse, and in my mind a team would need to a couple of good assets rather than five mediocre ones to get Seattle to seriously listen.

And I suppose the 3rd and 4th pick as well as 3 players is still nothing lol it is an overpay already.

I don't think the third and fourth round picks nor the players are worth nothing, but this is a case of offering a bunch of quantity for a quality player. The team with the quality player would say no to that type of offer because none of what they would get in return would equal the impact of the player they are losing. Some of the five pieces in the offer you made could be the secondary/tertiary assets in a deal, but you're missing the high value centerpiece that would interest the Kraken.
