TDL Only
The draft pick is going to Philly regardless and it’s not up to Philly to decide what year the pick is, it’s Columbus's decision.
The condition on the pick is that Columbus, after the first round of this years draft, will decide if they want to send this years or next years 2nd round pick to Philly.

Get some size
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Maybe one of their 2nds, but it lessens the package for the best 2 players in the deal, signed cheaply and beyond 2023-24.
Take out the 5th from TOR and the ARZ 2nd, or make it one of ARZ's lowest 2nds at least, FLA 2nd. The difference between TOR 1st and ARZ 2nd isn;t huge and ARZ is laden with picks, and the picks you're offering are some of the lowest in the round they'll have.</div></div>
Of course sellers are going to be the ones trading the best players at the time of the trade, but that doesn't make them the most valuable necessarily. That's a significant amount of value coming from Toronto.

The 2nd trade is 2 guys who were on the waiver wire and a 4th.

You're right, second trade sucks, was just kinda messing around, would more so be the two trades combined into one. Was going to get rid of Forsberg but don't have the assets to get another goalie and had already bought out Korpisalo/don't think Sogaard's ready

Better version of Marv Murchins Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Yeah, just not sure they have the right mix of players. They "on paper" should have more than enough offense and really need to clear some top 9 guys for players like savoie, ostlund, kulich, rosen, so an expensive move for Pettersen is almost a Eichel in reverse.
Really it comes down to what BUF is missing. I think they have all the pieces BUT lack more two way play forwards, size/grit/physicality (especially on defense), and maybe upgrade in goal. Those are my opinions and maybe Im wrong, but with the good youngsters, great prospects and almost all the KEY pieces you need (No1 center, No2 Center, two very good scoring lines, a No1 dman, a No3 dman), but a better mix of vets/kids THROUGHOUT the lineup and a more balanced defense (I think they have too many puck rushers/movers) they will make the playoffs without a Pettersen.
If they could add a top 4 dman like Cernak and a (god forbid) Laughton/Perry/Gallagher-type to the 3rd line, (but not a Gallagher salary) and maybe a 13th forward goon type then that would fit my bill for a better mix then they have</div></div>
I agree, maybe not those exact players on line 3, but I agree to your point. The problem that I see, is that we have so many undersized skilled forwards coming, the path of least resistance for our gm will be to just try to run 3 scoring lines. Adams would literally have to move 5 or 6 forwards, just to make room for that kind of third line. I'm not optimistic that the market breaks his way if he trades those pieces. I would absolutely look to add two way players with grit.

Defense Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>No one goes with 4 or more kids, so Barron and Harris are probably out, and carry more value now than they will later (when theyre in AHL or healthy scratch):
I'd go with:
Guhle - Savard
Matheson - Struble
Xhekaj - Mailloux
Harris- Kovacevic
Barron is traded, Harris maybe is kept as the 4LD, with Hutson and Reinbacher in AHL, Ideally in 25-26, sign a top LD, let Matheson/Savard/Kovacevic go (trade) and have Reinbacher with Guhle and Hutson with Struble, or Hutson the year after</div></div>
I wouldn't worry about keeping Harris at that point as a healthy scratch.
Hopefully we trade him in a package while he has value.
Leave Kovy as the scratch and call up Trudeau and/or Hutson when needed for left-hand help.

24-25 after 23-24 TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>No worries, yesterday there were a few MTL fans that wanted players NOW, dont want picks, etc...
As for Barron, I like his upside, but not sure its a high top 4 upside, and with MTL depth at defense with youth (Guhle, Struble, X, Harris on LD and Maillot and reinbacher at RD on the way = and no one is going to play 5-6 youngsters) I just thought that Barron might not have more value than he has now and Laughton is a good two way vet to go between the middle 6 with young guys.</div></div>
Honest question, would you want Philly to trade a 22 year old player who's already shown significant flashes at the NHL level for a middle six veteran who's about to turn 30? I don't want to speak for others, but I doubt they were talking about guys like Laughton.
Montreal also doesn't need veteran placeholders at forward, they need the veterans they have to get healthy. They've gotten a combined 26 games from two guys they expected to play middle 6 C for them this season. Plus Montreal has the capspace that they can just eat a bad contract for a season to get that veteran.
And if Montreal were to trade Barron right now, it be for a similarly aged middle 6 forward/upside prospect or a pick. Or as part of package for a more impactful player.

I know he looks real good in comparison to his weak defensive corps mates, but the guy is on pace for 6 pts over 80 games (with 3 in 40), I dont know in that system how someone can be so weak on that side of the puck and still be guaranteed a spot.</div></div>

But I just dont get the huge over infatuation with Benoit. I like him and I'd resign him in Toronto to pair with Niemala or an offensive RD, but his pure lack of ANY offensive production really stands against him as a full time/long time solution. (and this year isnt the anomaly, he has never produced, and for a non-goon player, it is shocking)</div></div>
You probably inadvertently answered the question.
Benoit is exactly the type of player Treliving loves. Analytically right now he's literally the best defensive D in the league and the worst offensive D in the league. But he's big, clears the front of the net and hits. If you go back to Tre's first press conference he's exactly what he said he wanted to add on the backend. Also McCabe has been back to playing like a #3 with Benoit. So I don't see him moving.

And the available list is a bunch of guys who have little value (for example, Kubalik at 2.5mil for a non-producing guy, JBD was on waivers and went unclaimed)</div></div>
We dont need major changes. Just move out chychrun for a good defensive RD , sign a bottom pair Dman, a checkign 3rd liner and a good 4th liner

You may be right about Benoit. But if the Leafs have such a weak defensive corps, why do so many are so enamoured with the Flames top four Dmen?? Leafs and Flames have the same GAA.

Barron & Harris are NHL players at this point, but are "maybes" to play in a top 4 role. They have not proven they can do it and will need to continue to grow and evolve their respective games.
I will remind you that on one of the worst defensive teams in the league, Barron is playing in Laval and Harris is often a healthy scratch.
Projecting them is fine, but asking teams to agree with your projections as though they are facts is not right. Let them prove it in Montreal and then by all means trade them.

He also isn't more than a 60 point center anymore so I don't think he has 2 1sts + 2nd + 4th value. I still like the idea of Coots in Montreal though, he would be our new Damphousse and insurance in case Dach doesn't cut it as a center or gets injured again

After 23-24 TDL long term acquisitions
The CGY trade seems fine for the most part: Might ask for one more pick or so. Andrew Peeke is very physical but in terms of effectiveness and translating that physicality to good defense I don’t think Peeke is there yet. I don’t like the Laughton deal either his analytics are the equivalent to Kampf’s - in other words, terrible. If we can retain him, sure - but absolutely nowhere worthy of a 1st or a 2nd. I do like Kaliyev although LA will most likely demand more for him.
