2023 Mock Draft with over Twenty Trades
Very well done, sir!
From a Ducks perspective-While it pains me to have to wait until at least 2026 for him, I do think that Michkov is the right play here. If we were to slip to 6th/7thish, I'm heavy on the Dvorsky hype train right now.

All gas no brakes cup or bust
It's funny to try and even compare the return for Alex Debrincat: 7 OA + 39 OA+2023 3rd to Troy Terry (currently with your proposal): 22 OA+2024 2nd+2024 5th+Cap dump Foegele, when it'd essentially be the late 2nd to dump Foegele, so the end return is a mid-late 1st+5th. There's just absolutely no reason for Anaheim to do this, especially with a division rival.

Give Bad Contracts
IMO, it'd make more sense for the Panthers to simply buy out Bob, rather than retain & move assets from their virtually non-existent pool of picks/prospects.
Sure, it only saves the Panthers $3.33 mil over 3 years (and then costs them $1.66 for 3 more), but the idea of him waiving to leave his little tax-haven seems way more far fetched.
Plus, in your situation, the Panthers actually lose cap space, and get worse.

Yup, 50% retention with a 1st and some sort of mid-prospect seems perfect for both teams.

Goalie Redraft Are The Goalies As Good As The Players From This Draft
Like, in what sense? If you want all out and re-drafted, there'd probably be 5-6 guys who'd drop out of the 1st round, and 5-6 guys that'd replace them. If anything, I'd imagine Samsonov falls out as well, but who knows. Aside from that, no, there wouldn't be a bunch that'd jump up.

Would you trade the 1 OA pick?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>GeneralLandro OldNYIFan Lenny7
Revisiting this as there have been a number of season ending injuries to smaller players (Drysdale, Nick Robertson, Cole Caufield), and we seem to be heating up on the idea that Carlsson might be our guy. I am less convinced that there is that massive of a gap between Bedard and the other top prospects.
If we got the 1OA pick, would you flip it to Arizona for Carlsson (3OA) and Chychrun?</div></div>
I'm not sold on Carlsson at all...

Canes loves distressed players what is the cost
Just from an Anaheim perspective...Rico continues to be the most consistent Duck at both ends of the ice. We've seen a number of Henrique (50% retained for 1.5 years) for a 1st that have had better than normal (for this place) response.
With Kulikov (again, 50% retention), I'd expect a 3rd back, and I feel like whoever gets him gets the deal of the deadline. You're not getting anything flashy, but when it comes to the Ducks D so far this year, IMO he's been the best (Which isn't saying much considering the Eakins-effect).

Off season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>myboykole</b></div><div>Yeah, that's what I think. But, like I said, some NYR fans says they won't take it.</div></div>
I think it's important to think a little deeper than just saying "They wouldn't do Laf for Meier one for one". Obviously Meier > Laf, there's absolutely no debating that.
What can be said though, is if we assume Meier signs a long term deal at $9 mil or so (Or even just goes 1 year at his QO of $10ish), then the Rangers cap situation becomes an issue. They currently have 14 players signed for 2023/24, with just over $16ish mil to play with. So, you give Meier $9, then it's $7 left with 15 guys. Chytil gets a bit of a raise (say $3.5?) and there's $3.5 left. Miller needs to be re-signed ($2 mil?) so there's $1.5 left with 6 guys left to sign...
Sure, there's absolutely a few delusional folks that are praying for a Tage-type breakout for Laf, but I have to imagine it's more the financial issues that inevitably pop up with this than it is that someone thinks that Laf is more valuable than Meier.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>OldNYIfan GeneralLandro Lenny7 thoughts?</div></div>
I have zero interest in adding Tyler Myers without an asset attached, regardless of whether it's before or after the bonus is paid out. If someone wants him because he'll be "highly sought after", then have at it, but he's a cap dump, plain and simple. If we're creating $6 mil in space for the Nucks to improve their roster elsewhere, and not getting anything for doing it, then why not just go after someone like Severson (longer commitment, but still fills that hole that we're going to have for at least the next 2-3 years or more, depending on how the young RD's develop), Mayfield, heck, I'd even go for Justin Holl. These are just examples, but doing another team HUGE favor where there's little to no benefit for this team is silly.

Think there's gotta be a pick there for it to make sense for the Ducks. Blackwood is basically a throw in, and McLeod is the type of player that the Ducks already have plenty of. Just run with a simple 2nd+Blackwood for Stolie+Kulikov.

23-24 Lines w Connor BeDuck
Fingers are definitely crossed for this!
My thoughts on the lineup though (Doesn't matter what order the first two lines are...):
Rico-Z-Terry
Comer-McTavish-Bedard
Vatrano-Lundy-Strome
Jones-Groulx-Silf
Fowler-Drysdale
1 year UFA D(Or Benoit? Yuck)-Vaak
Mintyukov (9 games)/Zellweger(Call up after Mintyukov goes back to JR)-Helleson (If he's ready?)
Gibby
Dostal
Lots of room there to do a couple UFA signings...Top 6 LW, or a trade.
