(COL/BUF) - Byram for Mittelstadt
Great move for Colorado to hopefully nail down a position of weakness post-Kadri.
Not sure about this for the Sabres, Byram isn’t really filling an obvious position of need, however talented he is.

(SJS/VGK) - Hertl, 2025 3rd (SJS), 2027 3rd (SJS) for Edstrom, 2025 1st (VGK)
Dare I call this a fair trade? The retention on Hertl stinks for SJS, but its not like Hertl was getting any more valuable. The Sharks get back a prospect who I am a very big fan of and a 1st, while also moving off of a terrible contract. Hertl will be extremely good in Vegas for the next 3 - 4 years, which is perfect for them. That center depth is terrifying. I like it for both sides to be completely honest, but if I had to pick a winner its obviously going to be Vegas

(WSH/CAR) - Kuznetsov for 2025 3rd (CAR)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>Can someone who follows Carolina explain the fit to me here? Ignoring all the uniqueness of the situation (I think it's a reasonable gamble for a mid pick for his upside if a team trusts its player leadership group to insulate from any such issues), but it seems an odd fit on the ice
I don't watch Carolina beyond when they play teams I do watch so I may just be missing something, but it seems to me they have a #1c in aho, then 3 top 9 C's already in Staal, Drury, and KK. Plus my understanding is Necas is at least comfortable at c and maybe Jarvis too. So why are they of all teams acquiring him?</div></div>
I can see the logic here for Carolina. They haven’t had a good #2 center since Trocheck left. They actually planned for that by acquiring Kotkaniemi and grooming him to step into that role when the time came, but he’s regressed after a strong start this season, and he’s back on the fourth line. Jack Drury is centering the second line now, but it’s his first full season and he’s still developing. Not ideal for a cup contender. Jordan Staal is more cut out for a third-line role at this stage in his career, and that’s where they want to keep him. Necas and Jarvis seem better suited to the wing.
I think Kuznetsov would be worth taking a chance on if he was a pending UFA. The idea of him setting up Guentzel so Svechnikov can stay with Aho sounds intriguing, but I don’t like the commitment to a full season at almost $4M cap hit with all the expiring contracts Carolina has. That’s money they might have been able to use to extend Skjei, Pesce or Teravainen. A buyout would save $1M of that and push another $1M out to 2025-26, but that’s when Slavin’s next contract would be kicking in. Even at 50% retained he seems more like a liability than an asset, so the draft pick was a gift to Washington. At best this should have been a “future considerations” trade, but losing the third-rounder isn’t going to hurt Carolina unless they want to give somebody an offer sheet this summer.
I’m not saying I expect him to fail. The fact that he realized he needed help and got it, and was humble enough to report to the minors after clearing waivers is a good sign. I’m just commenting on what I feel his trade value should have been today. I really hope he embraces the opportunity to get his life and career back on track. That would be a win for everybody.

This is classic cap friendly overreaction. Kuznetsov could walk in and be an X-factor in the Canes pursuit of a cup. And here everybody will have said they lose the trade. For a measly third. Sometimes there is no sense of reality in this site. It's a fair deal.

Washington Capitals signed Rasmus Sandin (5 Years / $4,600,000 AAV)
He's regressed a little from last season with a minor drop in both his points and his on-ice goal differential. It's not a serious issue, but at his age, he should be producing more each year.
A LOT of people here are saying this will age well, but it needs to age well, because if he were being paid this much this season it would be too much. If he regresses again, then this contract will look really bad.
On the other hand, the cap is going up and there will be a ton of very silly contracts handed out, so this likely won't be the worst of them.

Minnesota Wild signed Zach Bogosian (2 Years / $1,250,000 AAV)
Meh. Contract is basically buriable if he's terrible and they'd probably get a 5th round pick at best so might as well keep him and bring him back to take some of the load off Faber.
With Spurgeon out, he's played well enough on the 2nd pair for a guy that should be playing 3rd pair minutes. He's been one of the first to stand up for Kaprizov if the other team targets him and he's been decent on defense. Assuming Spurgeon is back to his usual level next year, Bogo will be just fine at this salary on the bottom pair. Minnesota's defense hasn't been great this year, but that's not on him really. Mermis, Goligoski, and Merrill have been the problem. Probably worth mentioning the Wild have nothing for defense prospects that are right shot and will be ready for a NHL role next year. I don't see this as being a problem at that cap hit. Again, if he's bad you can just bury him and move on.

(MTL/WPG) - Monahan for 2024 1st (WPG), 2027 3rd (WPG)
As a Flames fan I'm thrilled for Monahan (and still very annoyed at Brad Treliving paying a first to dump him in 2022). If I was a Jets fan I'd be nervous about trading our premium draft pick for a player has been a ticking time bomb when it comes to major injuries the last handful of seasons. I hope he's able to finish the year and continue playing well, but it feels like a big risk.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CSStrowbridge</b></div><div>In a vacuum, this is a fair deal. A 1st and a 3rd for the second best forward available (after Lindholm) would be good during most trade deadlines. However, Montreal was paid a 1st to take him and then signed him to a reasonable contract and then traded him away for another first and a third. Yeah, they WIN the overall transaction, even though Winnipeg are not the losers here. Calgary is certainly the loser here.</div></div>
I mean, they were paid to take him because he had an awful contract. Now Monahan is on a more reasonable contract signed as an UFA, so I feel like the firsts are not related.
Treliving’s splashy summer certainly looks awful in hindsight. How was he unemployed for like, a week?

Come on. Last week there were people saying they had to move him because of his durability, and that they risked losing him for nothing with a serious injury.
Now they sold "too low, too early". I wouldn't have been surprised if he got a first, but I didn't think it was a sure thing. If they value Grushnikov as a second, then they did pretty well.
I think they did alright. Seems pretty fair to me. 2nd, decent prospect, and a conditional third. Dallas did alright, too. Warrior D that everybody wants at the deadline, even if he's showing the mileage.

Dallas got what they needed. Calgary and New Jersey got what they wanted. How is this not a fair trade?!?
I don't understand (or agree with) all of the people that are raving about Dallas "winning" this trade. Everyone with a lick of sense knew that Calgary's alleged "demand" of a first for Tanev was puffery. So the Flames ended up with a prospect and a second with a shot for a third. That's a decent return for an expiring asset.

I think this is a super even deal.
Big difference between a “prospect” when it’s a Russian 2nd rounder in the AHL versus a fourth rounder overseas. Calgary got a valuable thing and good for them. Getting a Russian skater to North America can be a costly or risky endeavor as is.
They weren’t getting a prospect of this quality -and- a 1 round pick for a 34 year old pure rental rhd of Tanevs caliber. They got near max value as they should leading the market. The only way they’d have gotten more is if tanevs pedigree were much higher.

I'm impressed Dallas got Tanev at 25% of his original cap hit without having to give up a first round pick or one of their top prospects. He should fit in nicely on the right side of their defense as they gun for the cup once more.
I guess Calgary must really like Grushnikov as a prospect. I think they could have gotten a higher end asset for Tanev given the demand for defensively sound RHD around the league, but Grushnikov and a second rounder (along with maybe an additional third) is still an OK return considering Tanev was on an expiring contract.

Fair deal, Tanev’s a 2nd pair D and he will help Dallas cup hopes, while Calgary gets a 2nd and a decent prospect in Grushnikov (who I like), NJD also does well, they use cap space to retain and get an asset

Calgary were never getting a 1st but I dunno, maybe they could have pushed harder for a better prospect than Grushnikov (whose ceiling is as a #6 D it seems). But I get the thinking of replacing Tanev with a defensive defenceman prospect

Double retention makes this trade a no brainer. I hope that Grush pans out for Calgary. Sad to see him go.
