Thread: (NSH/EDM) - Ekholm and 6th for Barrie, Schaefer, 1st and 4th
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>How did they overpay? You would have crucified Holland had he done nothing! They had to give up something, other teams were bidding, they needed Ekholm badly.

Its TDL prices not the offseason. I dont see how they could have done better than this. Nashville also does well as they can flip Barrie next season or maybe this season for picks.

This is a win-win trade.

Barrie, I know, they could have still used but still they gave up nothing worthwhile for a legit prime top4 piece that they needed with size that can shutdown the opposition and we break up that Nurse-Ceci pairing.</div></div>

Easy there big shoots, I agree with them going after Ekholm instead of Karlsson. Very well could be a win-win deal, but I'm willing to say that NSH got the better end of this deal (Provided NSH doesnt completely blow it up, which I hardly to be the case). I also loath Holland for the shambles he left the wings in.

Thread: (STL/MIN/TOR) - O'Reilly, Acciari for Pillar for Abramov, Gaudette, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>I see your point but I don't know about "ultimate". The quite bad over that period Vancouver Canucks have had 6 picks in the first 4 round over the last 3 years (https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/teams/dr00008756.html) and while that is one more than the Leafs, the Leafs have two 1sts to their one.

But yeah the Leafs have moved a looooot of draft capital. They haven't moved the majority of their prospects though. Yet...</div></div>

Well to your point, if we extended it back. The leafs haven't used a 1st rd pick since 2020 so kinda adds fuel to the fire. But at the end of the day, it's funny which ever team just disregards their future to win now and still get thrashed in the postseason. I know most team in win now mode do that but there are degrees in which some turn wreckless. This could be one if they can't right the ship and they lose Matthews.
