Team USA 2026 OG
No reason to put the Tkachuk's together on one line, they bring similar things to the table and I don't think they have some sort of fantastic chemistry together either. I would imagine Keller would be the LW with Matthews and Matthew or possibly Jack Hughes if the former doesn't crack the main roster.
I think Eichel or Hughes would be the 2C before Thompson. Maybe Hughes would be put on the wing, on the 2nd line but I think it's more than likely that Thompson goes to the wing. The two Jacks probably are the second line, with Hughes on the wing or Hughes 2C and Eichel 3C.
I think your defense is a bit too young, if Werenski is a top defenseman still he's probably drawing in for sure. I would guess that only one of L Hughes, Sanderson, and Faber get the nod or two of the previous 3 + Miller.
Making the lines might be even harder than making the roster :squinty.

I don't think that would be a first line. If Crosby is there, he probably plays with MacKinnon, Marner likely on a different line (if they look to spread out their playmakers), or with Crosby and Mackinnon. Bedard + McDavid + another (maybe Point or McTavish if he earns the nod) would likely be the top line. I do think that they would be unstoppable though.

In two years, I think someone like Jason Robertson or Tage Thompson could probably easily make it over Kreider and Caufield (especially if he's not producing at higher rates) but as <a href="/users/Duggysdanglers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Duggysdanglers</a> said, there will be top players who are cut, and it probably will depend on who is doing well that season. If Kreider is performing to a high level though, he would likely be a lock, based on his age, they seem to take into consideration if it would be a guy's last chance or not at times. Assuming Tage is producing at a high pace, I think not taking him would be a mistake since he could probably use his size to get even more space on the large international ice.

Would JT waive for Avs 2C
Toronto isn't just going to be able to find a 2C replacement so easily, but even if they did that player will cost 8-9M, so with the retention on JT that would be effectively paying them 11.5-12.5M. That said player might get 10 or 20 more points or the similar to JT, so it's not worth it.

If Edm doesnt achieve playoff success
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jacketsman61</b></div><div>Are you seriously suggesting that Draisaitl would cost Laine, Johnson, ++??? You have to think in terms of long term projections. While yes, theoretically they can keep both, the depth on the team will suffer. This is one of those moments where Edm would be more likely to take the sum of the parts considering how much quality is there. Draisaitl is the best player in the deal but the ability to get a top 5 player, a budding young superstar who is cost controlled and effective depth pieces that all fall in the affordability range that can keep your team a contender is just as priceless. Remember, Draisaitl is not likely taking a cheap contract. His number probably starts at 12 mil maybe more. McDavid contract is up the summer after that and I guarantee his number starts at 15 mil but more like 16 mil.</div></div>
Possibly, it really depends on all the pieces that would be involved, who they can select with that top 5 pick (NHL-ready player or not), what pieces are coming back from Edm, and whether or not Draisaitl is coming with an extension (which he is in the scenario). The Oilers would only have 2-years guaranteed of Laine, who is struggling and injury-prone, so he's not exactly at peak value. My point is that the trade would have to be a hockey trade, not futures' based because I can guarantee you that McDavid would be upset with a Draisaitl trade, and if the team gets worse as a result, there's a really good chance he doesn't re-sign even if the future is bright with the addition of KJ and a blue chip prospect.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jacketsman61</b></div><div>Not sure about that. Johnson is a cost controlled player who has star potential. That 1st is likely top 5 and they also get Texier who is a cheap player but effective in a third line role. <strong>You have to ask yourself can they keep both Draisaitl and McDavid long term? If they can’t then this is possible.</strong></div></div>
Well, can they keep McDavid around if they lose/let go of Draisaitl? If they are trading Draisaitl, they need to be getting better in some way that would help them be more competitive, and this trade doesn't ensure that happens. It's much easier for a GM to pay a superstar especially, a top C, than to try trading them since they won't get his value more than likely. Of course, it all depends on who the Oilers can select with that potential top 5 pick, although, I think a proven roster player like Provorov, Laine or Jenner would be included as well.

There are ACGMs out there that have both Minten and Cowan making the team next year on the 3rd line. Seen it quite a bit actually, but it could all be from one guy, don't recall.
As for Domi, signing him might not be a bad idea depending on the AAV and term, he hasn't scored much but he has been setting up guys on his line for goals. On the other hand, though, the shortcomings that you mentioned make him a poor fit in both the top 6 and bottom 6 despite the chemistry that his line seemed to have. That being said maybe he should be the "trial LW" and get a look in the top 6 again next year. Robertson as well. If Minten (or Holmberg) holds down the 3rd line C position out of camp, I would move down Knies to play there, maybe they can rekindle the chemistry that they had in the preseason.

Marchessault would be a year removed from being the playoff MVP + winning the Cup (assuming they don't win again) and he's on pace for 60+ points. There's no reason for him to take a trial deal that pays him less than he is getting now, especially considering he's 33. He'll probably look for a multi-year deal (probably 3-year at least) in the 5-7M range (around 7M if he's going to Toronto).

Florida going all in because they let go Reinhart at his age
The reasoning behind going "all-in" doesn't make a whole lot of sense. FLR doesn't have a whole lot of future assets and to give what they have and let Reinhart walk would be foolish considering that the targets expected to make a difference are mostly rentals as well. It's almost as if FLR would be paying to rent Reinhart (an own rental). The smart thing to do if they go all in would be to re-sign Reinhart (if they can) or keep their futures (by not going all in) if they are letting him walk or suspect that they might not be able to re-sign him.

It probably would cost the Oilers a 1st to get him with them being the Flames biggest divisional rival coupled with the fact that he could be the final piece needed for them to win the Cup with the roster that they now have. At the very least it would be a 2nd that has a condition on it that it would turn into a 1st if the Oilers make it to the Conference Finals possibly with a stipulation that Tanev must dress x amount or % of games for the Oilers.

Trading our top 5v5 scorer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Huge_Caniac_Abe_Lincoln</b></div><div>The following offseason however is ripe with prime goalies - Ullmark, Saros, Shesterkin - as well as solid 1A type guys to a potential 1B in Schmid (or vice versa). The great (or annoying) thing about the Devils being so young is they can stake next year on a Kakhonen, Nedeljkovic or even Mrazek or Wedgewood, and they will still be one of the youngest teams in the league, with defenders who are going to be getting better at helping out the weaker netminders.
Believe me, I'd like the Devils to do something rash and trade Mercer and Holtz for Gibson, but I don't think it makes a ton of sense to give up prime assets for a tendie that would only be there at the opening of their window.</div></div>
I do agree that NJ shouldn't be making any rash decisions, however, considering they do have Schmid who could be their future 1A, it could make sense to get a guy who could help them win at the start of their window. The only thing though is that if they are giving prime assets for a starting goalie, then 1) they better be sure that they are getting a true number 1 that can be that difference maker and 2) they should be in a position to make the post-season if it's a mid-season trade.
I don't think acquiring Gibson is a bad idea for NJ, but I don't think he checks those two boxes, so if I was Fitzgerald I wouldn't be giving up prime assets for him, or at least not any that are currently contributing to the team or bound to in the future like Nemec. There's no guarantee that guys like Ullmark, Saros or Shesterkin would make it to free agency or sign with NJ but maybe NJ could look at trying to trade for Ullmark and Saros in the off-season.

The Leafs do need one more top 4 D at least, to improve their Dcore but Larsson would probably be too expensive to acquire/unavailable. He definitely would be a great addition though.
Jenner and Carcone might be nice adds as well, but something that needs to change is the trend of NHL-ready Marlies being unable to crack the lineup and eventually becoming regular NHLers for other organizations. A guy like Holmberg who is playing well, should be kept in the bottom 6, and be given some runway.

Most I give up for Zegras
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>Anderson and Harris do nothing for Anaheim.
Including Roy in any trade is a bad idea. His market value isn't high enough to justify it.
Moving Barron is an equally bad idea. Growing pains are expected with a 22 year old defenseman. If you aren't prepared to ride out the bumps there's no point developing your own players.
It would take at least a 2024 1st somewhere in the vicinity of 10th overall to acquire Zegras with picks (assuming he is for sale).
If Calgary makes the playoffs and their pick falls in the 20-32 range, we can take it instead of waiting for next year.
Our own 1st will likely be top 10. (8th atm I believe)
We may be able to acquire another 1st at the deadline.
If our 1st is top 10, it would be better to draft our own player in that position, but Zegras is closer to helping a team contend vs. a fresh prospect, so it's at least worth considering.
If we have at least 1 additional 1st rounder, it's a more comfortable decision to make.
If I'm giving up a top 10 pick for him however, I'm not adding much else, if anything.
Consider the Drouin trade which we definitively lost.
Sergachev (9th overall) and a conditional 2nd for a player with similar "warts" that was a former 3rd overall coming off his ELC with a 53 point season.
Zegras has produced more on his ELC, but his first contract negotiation was contentious, his production dipped, and he's been injured twice since signing it.
Montreal needs high end talent, but that doesn't mean just any talent. If you're paying a high price you have to be more certain of the player you are getting.
The last thing we need is another Drouin scenario.</div></div>
Zegras isn't anything like Drouin as you mentioned, and I would say what caused Drouin's downfall was the expectation of being a 25-30 goal scorer in his hometown. They expected Drouin to be what he wasn't (at the NHL-level at least) and save the team which desperately needed a goal scorer. That being said MTL doesn't need another center-winger, even though he would be a great add, the cost would just be too great. I think the package would start with Reinbacher (unless Anaheim drafts a RHD in the 2024 draft) + 1st (even if it's the one likely to be FLR's) + a roster player.

Ottawa does have vets though, the big difference though is probably the Dcore. Detroit as one guy under 25, in Seider while Ottawa has 3. Although guys like Chabot and Chychrun are young but they are well-established players who are expected to be difference-makers, if they aren't doing enough then that's a problem, and it's probably because there are just too many offensive guys. Replacing Docker and Brannstrom with vets with a lot of experience under their belts might make a difference.
The forward group is much younger than Detroit's as well but I don't think that's the issue, maybe they could use some more vets in their bottom 6 though.
The Atlantic being super competitive does not help either.

You're definitely right, that trading Nylander or Marner for a defender was/is not the solution, not that there was a trade to be made.
I don't think Dobson would help too much overall, best case scenario is probably that they end up being in more or less the same position, producing offensively (even if it's more contribution from the backend) but still needing help on defense. Assuming Dobson continues to produce, the Leafs would likely be able to sing a top 6 F who along with Dobsoin would have more points than Marner alone or Marner+ whichever Leafs defender gets let go, but it doesn't necessarily mean that that the Leafs would be scoring more or have a significant increase even if they do. The only thing that would work is if the Leafs could get someone that is a combination of Dobson+Pesce (i.e., a #1D or a #2 that could serve as a #1) but those types of defenders would not be available in a trade to your point.

It'll take A LOT unfortunately, and the trade above is in the right ballpark.

Yeah, who knows? Depends on what his availability really is, I feel like insiders often try to stir the market sometimes especially when there might be a reason for a team to trade a player. I don't see why Staois would want to trade Chychrun at this point unless he's justifiably worried that he might not re-sign or he gets an offer that improves his team. The return would then really depend on that, I don't disagree with the value of the return suggested was just saying I don't see the motivation for OTT to just want two draft picks, unless the main target of the trade is Liljegren and the picks are just there to balance out the value. If Liljegren is just being viewed as a good/useful roster that is a fit but isn't a must-have. then the trade just seems like Ottawa trying to recuperate their assets which would only make sense if Chychrun wants out/they expect him to want out. Even then I highly doubt he would end up in Toronto even if the Leafs were willing to pay up to some extent.
I feel like there's usually a 1st in there at least but unfortunately, you'll probably keep on seeing underwhelming packages.
From Toronto's perspective, I don't see why they would move Liljegren, even if they wanted Chychrun. The Leafs should be looking to add to their dcore without subtracting guys who are contributing now and one of the few guys who is young on their blueline.

He's more so pointing out what an inter-division trade between two rivals would look like, especially one that includes a young star coupled with the fact that both teams are looking to compete for the foreseeable future. I don't think Ottawa would do the trade for just Liljegren+ and two 1st picks, they would probably want certain prospects like Cowan or Minten (as suggested in the trade description) instead of at least one of those firsts.

If Anaheim is trading Zegras, they probably are looking to improve their team or their prospect pool by getting proven NHLers or adding a recently drafted prospect/young player that brings something that they don't have already.
Arizona isn't going to just gift J.J Moser and take on cap while doing it. If you thought that Moser was just a spare part in ARZ, that's not the case. He's playing the 3rd most minutes among their defensemen, only behind Durzi and Dumba (who probably isn't guaranteed to be kept around), and has the second most points, and is solid defensively (at least in previous years). I would be very surprised if they made him available.

We Are Fine And We Dont Need To Trade Mitch
I get the point is just to show that the Leafs could keep Marner as they should and that the other names just serve as just placeholders but I'm going to talk about the signings anyways just to kind of predict what the Leafs might do.
Liljegren probably gets 3M+ (unless they go for a 1 or 2-year deal), and Walker probably goes to whatever team is giving the best combination of money and term which is likely not going to be the Leafs. Instead they probably sign a guy like Tyler Myers on a 1-year deal for 3M, so basically no Jost and spending to the cap. I think Tanev would probably get something more like 3.5-4M on a 2 to 3-year deal, but who knows maybe he does take a more team-friendly deal with more term. Benoit probably has earned himself a contract extension, so would replace Caleb Jones with him. Talbot is definitely not getting below 3M with the way he's playing, he likely re-ups with LA, and I think the Leafs will just go with Woll, Jones with a decent raise, and possibly bring back Samsonov on a prove it deal if he redeems himself at some point. Otherwise, I think they would be comfortable with Woll and Jones, knowing that Hidelby could contribute if one of them struggles next year.
Bertuzzi probably is let go but maybe if Robertson is traded, the Leafs could sign Bertuzzi and Domi to matching 3.75-4M deals (no Amadio), but I do think it's highly likely that Bertuzzi is allowed to walk. If Dillon Dube goes unqualified, I could see him being a project signing instead of a vet like Carter. I think at least one of McMann, Holmberg, Steeves or Minten will be on the roster for next year.

From my experience on here, pretty much every rebuilding team fanbase, during their rebuild ends up being in the LW position, especially if the rebuild is/expected to be lengthy. Often they are expecting teams' top prospects in trades, a 1st+ in every cap dump situation (regardless of the situation/reason for a team to maybe want to dump a play), they will never want to trade for a superstar player in any circumstance, "We don't want him, but if we do we'll just sign him in free agency", and some fans seemingly don't want the rebuild to end (unless they draft their way out of the rebuild), so if their GM starts making moves to try ending the rebuild they start to turn on him.

Well like the title suggests it's way too early to make a PLD trade, but even if there was an overreaction trade to occur, I think it would be in the off-season and that LA would try to get a deal done at/before the draft, but if it winds being after July 1st the only place he's going is probably MTL for better or for worse.
As for the proposed, mock trade, I don't think CGY would retain on Huberdeau for all those years, and I would agree with Vancity2196 that LA wouldn't want to take him on since it would ruin their cap structure, they should want to put that money towards their back-end and goaltending. Having Lindholm and Huberdeau on the 3rd line would just be excessive.
