I think I fixed the value here. I still like the core concept of the trade but I'm really not sure why I gave the flames so little at first. Maybe I still subconsciously overvalue McLeod/Broberg for being former high end picks. I kind of thought as it being a Dube for McLeod player swap with Campbell, Broberg, and the second being the pieces used to upgrade for Markstrom. Now I would say that this is much more realistic to how this trade would go in real life. Broberg, a third, and a 6th meets around Makrstrom's value in my opinion, and it would take at least a first for the Oilers to be able to get rid of Campbell's contract. I still really like the Dube for McLeod swap as I think they really both need a change in scenery and could both benefit. So the Oilers get improved veteran goaltending and the flames bring in semi-valueable "prospects" and picks to begin their retool/rebuild.
Open to any other constructive or unconstructive criticism because at the end of the day this is just a fun mental exercise for me and I won't die on the hill of my unprofessional opinion of a NHL players value.
