boston would want the first, but ullmark apparently wants nothing to do with the kings.

Doughty (still $8M aav) doesn’t get that kind of return anymore; this is isn’t 2018

Just considering the final roster, I think worse. We lose Doughty who plays some of the toughest minutes in the league. ATOI over 25, and pretty much always against the top 6 of any team. In this situation, we've only replaced him with Brodin on the top pair. Not a bad player per se, but Doughty was basically top 5 for defensive rating.

In favor of moving Gavrikov though (Boston/Ullmark probably say no), we need someone offensive on that left side to pair with Doughty, and move Mikey down with Spence to be a new, modern shutdown pairing.

Adding Fiala to a line with Meier and Hischier would be fun and interesting. But it would be too much $$ on the wing. And we expect Mercer to be every bit the player Fiala is.

Devils decline

When Chicago traded him in 1999, Chris Chelios returned two 1st round picks and 24-year old 2LD Anders Erickson from rival Detroit. Chelios was 37 years old and had a year-and-half on his contract.

(Just interesting tidbit….Doughty trade reminded me)

But that was pre salary cap, I think? If no cap implications, I’d happily accept Doughty - still a good player but like Tavares, no longer worth his cap hit and he has three more years 😬

Doughty isn't worth that much for his cap hit even with retention.

Ullmark is worth far more than Gavrikov.

Necas and Brodin trades look good, though.

I'd think you could getter better value for Fiala.
