Yeah I think they are pretty equal players but center is more valuable so we’d probably have to add a 1st. That said I don’t see us having a want to move mikko at all

not at the expense of your overall team. If 100 point players were all that was needed to win cups leafs and oilers wouldnt be such disappointments.

Pettey for Bunting and a 4th
Pettey for Drouin and Johansen
Pettey for Petry and Chiarot
Pettey for Dewar and a 6th
Pettey for Armia and Savard
Pettey for McCarron and Jankowski
Pettey for Pageau and Maclean
Pettey for Kastelic and Hamonic
Pettey for Krug
Pettey for McMann and Reaves
Pettey for Barron and a 6th
All of these trade seems fair to me, unlike the ones in this post.

ok thanks boss

i have no idea where you guys got the idea that Rantanen was a trade target. it's not happening,
this is one of the worst trades I've seen in exchange for petey

ok thanks boss

Not a win on its own, but because it made the best out of a bad situation.
Calgary got 2 pending UFA's and were lucky() to be able to convince them to sign extensions.
They easily could have walked away with only a protected 1st and a middling prospect.

If you're comparing to the Tkachuk trade your proposals are flawed because you're targeting younger core players under contract or team control. That makes it a bad comp.

not a bad comp at all. calgary got high end roster players back. canucks would target the same

High end roster players with 1 year until UFA, not RFA's or players already signed long term.
Even if you assume any pending UFA will sign, there's a big difference between Huberdeau @ $10M until his late 30's and Thomas @ $8M until his early 30's.

Yes. Idiots.
Just because idiocy is popular doesn't make it any less so

i have several trades in here which target UFAs with only one year left. marner, rantanen, ehlers, chychrun, pionk. i also have several trades in here where i am targeting players who are 30+ and have already signed those huge money deals that weegar and huberdeau ended up signing (pulock, parayko, spurgeon, foresberg, o'reilly).

as well, any trade where i thought the contract the player had was part of their value (JEEK, Tkachuk, Barzal, svechnikov, thomas, suzuki) i modified the return to reflect that. no first round pick included, and in some cases i didnt even include a prospect, since i think the value of already being signed meant those pieces werent needed.

Avs decline. I won't say it's not an interesting idea and I think if anything it probably would start with Rants & Petey but I don't see the difference as being Byram even with a 'cap dump' in RyJo attached.
