Thread: EASY AS PIE
Pretty good actually.

1- NYI trade makes sense and probably would work in the real world. He has a lot of value and interest around GM's and coaches in the league.
2- VGK trade would make me crazy happy, but I'm not sure it's in line with what their management is looking for. If they took Marchessault as picks bait, why would they just receive another player 1-for-1 with similar value?
3- LAK trade works, can fetch a 4th rounder easy, possibly 3rd but that's a stretch
4- ARI trade is overblown. As you said, he could definitely grab two 5th rounders, but I'm iffy about 4th rounders, and certain about 3rd rounders being a no-no. Plek is at the twilight of his career with one year left on his contract. Then again, ARI seems to be in a super-accelerated rebuild old-age-infusion process right now, so who knows... But any other team, and that's a no.
5- Radulov wanted term more so than cap hit. Seems we're talking 5-6 years, almost cemented. At 4yrs, he likely will want nothing less than 7M (which is a bummer). I'd be happy if we took him at 6.25 for 6 years though, sounds good to me.
6- Markov signing for 1yr is smart, long-term cap-wise, but seems that Markov is cemented on 2 year deal... We'll see.
7- Seems like what it takes to nab Draisaitl (above 9M) possibly. Just don't forget to send in the compensation picks, since this is an offer sheet. I think it's something more than a first rounder for that price.
