Jacob Perreault
Jonathan Drouin (previously retained by MTL, 50%)
2023 1st (ANA)*
2022 4th (VGK)

Dylan Larkin

*conditional pick: if Anaheim's 2023 1st is top 5, Anaheim will retain the pick and send its 2024 1st and 3rd round picks to Boston.</div></div>

Conditional 1st (ANA)**
2023 2nd (ANA)
2025 3rd (ANA)
Tyler Johnson

:ducks
Conor Garland

** If Anaheim's 2023 1st is outside of the top 5, it will be sent to Boston to complete the Larkin trade and Washington will receive Anaheim's 2024 1st. If Anaheim's 2023 1st is in the top 5, Washington will receive Anaheim's 2025 1st.</div></div>

After discussions with new BOS GM <a href="/users/islesforthecup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@islesforthecup</a>, it has been agreed that the protections on the 2023 1st (ANA) will be removed. It is now an unprotected first-round pick owned by Boston. That means that Washington receives the 2024 1st (ANA) to complete the Garland trade, while Anaheim now has full control of its own 2024 3rd round pick and 2025 1st round picks unencumbered by protections.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>glarson17</b></div><div>Meier $3 mil retained and taking a cap dump back will cost more than that</div></div>

Definetely agree that it would take more but I wouldn't quite go as far as saying an expiring $2.25m contract is a rental.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KiSS_My_Asthma</b></div><div>I don't think acquiring Meier is a great idea for the leafs.
There's basically no chance they could make his QO at 10 million next season. Might be better to go for a straight rental, a Horvat or maybe a Kane/Toews</div></div>

I think the more likely outcome is that he signs a long-term deal at closer to 8m, maybe 9, instead of taking the 1-year deal and walking to UFA (which isn't a huge difference). It would be veeeeery difficult, but I don't think it's impossible - particularly if the cap rises around $4m as is possible

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NR1203</b></div></div> While Thompson does not have a goal this year, he is the real deal.
If management believed Mittelstadt and Power could step up to be their #1 and #2 centers, they could consider this offer.
Two power forwards as Anderson and Tuch at RW would be interesting.

With Thompson, Skinner, Quinn, Okposo and Krebs scoreless after five games, the Sabres are still 4-1 and took down both the Oilers and Flames.
It may prove too destructive for the Sabres to move away from a player they just extended.
The Sabres would certainly pass on this offer even though it would give them five picks in the first two rounds this yea..</div></div>

Thompson's a very good player, sure, but we're talking about potentially 3 generational talents in this year's draft. He isn't worth that, especially with just 1 year of evidence behind him as a 30+ goal scorer. Buffalo would accept that without thinking twice, particularly if Montreal looks like a bottom-3 team.
