for what it's worth on your Isles targets:
-Holmstrom would have the highest price tag. He took some time to warm up but he seems to be developing into a solid everyday NHLer with some decent amount of cheap team control left. Isles have a ton of big contracts with term so a cheap guyw ho can hold his own is worth his weight in gold.
-Wahlstrom is probably gettable although management was talking about giving him more run - whether that's to showcase him for a trade or to try and finally get some offense out of him remains to be seen. I think the return for him is probably another "change of scenery" roster player - I would think something like Wahlstrom & old Sens friend Mike Reilly for Brannstrom would be a decent framework (including Reilly to make the cap basically even.)
-I like MacLean (first NHL goal tonight) but I don't know how much value he has. Probably a 4th liner at best so I don't know what the return would be if the Isles want to trade him - feels like an add-on more than anything. Maybe Wahlstrom & MacLean for Brannstrom + a mid-rounder works?
