Umm, okay, so I am not a fan of trading McLeod, as Eller doesn’t bring to the table that McLeod does. He is a good 2-way top 9 forward that we would just have to replace. Yes he has shown that he is better on the wing, however, I rather just trade for a 3c if we are looking for one, or just role with him, instead of replacing him with a more expensive Eller. The 1st swap makes no sense to me either, as you are giving us the better pick. With looking at this roster, I bet you our 1st will be a later 1st than yours… that forward group is not good. I would say take out McLeod, Eller, the Pittsburgh 1st, and all those spare pieces out, and just do 1st (EDM), Bourgault, Kulak for Guentzel 50% retained. That is more fair imo, even though I would much rather him come with an extension in place.
