1. RyJo is going to cost the equivalent of a 2nd to dump. Pick your poison on how you get to that 2nd - a decent prospect or star AHLer/fringe NHLer & a 3rd, a 3rd, 4th, and 5th, the 2026 2nd, whatever. but you aren't getting anything in return for this deal in particular.
3. JEE isn't available. Kinda equivalent to the Wild trading like Nichushkin - value is too good for the Wild and they aren't tearing it down. They seem content to compete as best they can until the buyouts are done.
4. I don't see the Avs trading Ritchie under any circumstances. Well, any that are not an insane steal, which this is not. Avs would need a RFA 2C to make it worth it.
5. 2 firsts! there's no way!
