That makes since. I think the Caps would be a great fit but if the GM said he wasn't going to move his first for a player like that it obviously won't happen. I also think he would be great on my Penguins but we just don't have the capital for that unless we want to move the 2025 1st and that is concerning because if we keep moving away first rounders we'll be by far the worst team in NHL in no time. I do think Monahan will go to a team in the wild card race like the Capitals, Penguins, or maybe even the Islanders. The main point of the move in this situation was to get the Monahan for a 2024 1st trade done which is the most likely return. I would probably change it to the Islanders if I was to redo this one now.

I think I fixed the value here. I still like the core concept of the trade but I'm really not sure why I gave the flames so little at first. Maybe I still subconsciously overvalue McLeod/Broberg for being former high end picks. I kind of thought as it being a Dube for McLeod player swap with Campbell, Broberg, and the second being the pieces used to upgrade for Markstrom. Now I would say that this is much more realistic to how this trade would go in real life. Broberg, a third, and a 6th meets around Makrstrom's value in my opinion, and it would take at least a first for the Oilers to be able to get rid of Campbell's contract. I still really like the Dube for McLeod swap as I think they really both need a change in scenery and could both benefit. So the Oilers get improved veteran goaltending and the flames bring in semi-valueable "prospects" and picks to begin their retool/rebuild.

Open to any other constructive or unconstructive criticism because at the end of the day this is just a fun mental exercise for me and I won't die on the hill of my unprofessional opinion of a NHL players value.

My thought with the undervaluing of Lindholm is that he doesn't have an extension yet. If this is a sign and trade where he is locked up to an affordable longer term deal the Avs would have to move a lot more but for a rental piece I think that is fair. He's only on pace for 54 points this season so you have to take that into consideration as well. Analytically he has taken a dip in almost every category as well. Good player that you can trust in the offensive and defensive zone as well as in transition. Very good twf c2 but not much else.

In the case of Hanifin I think he would much rather play in Arizona than Calgary. Maybe not his best option and that is my fault for not realizing he had a M-NTC but still Arizona has a much more promising future than Calgary at the moment.
