<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrakenTheCode</b></div><div>I appreciate you knowing that even if Seattle ends up selling this deadline it will likely be a soft sell of rental players with an eye towards reloading for next year, instead of a full teardown involving the selling of key players. Kudos!

Some minor feedback on your trades: While I would love to get a first rounder for Eberle, I don't really see that happening unless he picks up his scoring. Right now, I'd peg his value at around a second round pick plus a decent prospect/young NHLer in need of a change of scenery. The return on Wennberg might be a touch optimistic too, I would say he nets a second rounder but maybe not second and third rounders. I think you have about the right value on Schultz, although with him being half retained I think the Kraken might be able to extract a halfway decent prospect in addition to the third round pick, but that's a minor point. There's a lot of time left between now and the trade deadline though, so player valuations could easily change as we get closer to deadline day.

As a Kraken fan, this is a lot better than most Kraken ACGM's that I usually see on this site, so once again, kudos!</div></div>

Thank you for you honest and kind feedback. It was a nice breath of fresh air on this site. I completely understand what you’re saying for each point, but my reasoning essentially boiled down to the fact that deadline deals tend to have inflated costs (hence Wennberg netting a 2nd + 3rd). And I definitely agree on the Eberle thing and I probably would’ve chosen a second round pick if Vegas had one that wasn’t gonna be pick #60-64.
