Thread: my vision
Don't think PHI has any interest in moving Cates. 38 points and elite defensive game is a solid job from a 24 year old playing second year.

Kuznetsov's analytics are absolutely dreadful. Despite scoring 50 points this year, he's not worth this much either. Frankly, I don't think anyone would be taking him without some cap going the other way. Hell, I don't think anyone would take him even if you put him to waivers.

If Mantha's value is this poor I'd rather just keep him around. WSH paid arm and leg for him, I don't think quitting on him this quickly is in the cards, despite having a very lackluster season.

CGY is pretty much locked into trying to contend with the acquisitions they made last offseason. Lindholm is a vital piece of this process, he will not be dealt for futures until 2024 deadline, if it seems like CGY is out of contention and he's not willing to re-sign.

Protas for Sharangovich works as a frame on a trade if NJ needs to shed cap, but then Sharangovich will cost more than $2M. His 2x2 deal is expiring, and during this timeframe he's scored 37 goals and 76 points. That's easily more than a $2M player - we're talking about somewhere between 3.5 and 4.5 mil.

Lafreniere offer sheet is spicy though. NYR likely would have trouble matching that.

Thread: Go For It
-Hawks decline a classic "quantity over quality" trade - SDA is a B-tier prospect, McMann is not a prospect at all, Holl is a pending UFA with zero value to a rebuilding squad, and the only good pick in here is kicked to next year's draft.

-Copy/paste from above. Hirvonen is a B-tier prospect, Joey Anderson is a 24 year old non-prospect, Erik Kallgren is 26 and can't break a .900 SV% in the AHL, Kerfoot is a pending UFA with zero value to a lottery team in Philadelphia, and while you've at least included this year's 1st, I just don't think there's enough here for Philly to give up a pair of forwards who are both playing on a 50-point pace.

-Zero incentive for the Sharks - Engvall is a pending UFA that actually has a higher cap hit than Bonino, so why would a rebuilding team in San Jose target him? Bonino gets a pick, they'll probably retain for you if you need it, but they're not going to just swap for an objectively harder to trade player if all you're giving them is a 7th rounder *next year*.

Thread: Reason for Hope
I am a Habs fan and I say this is bad for Philly. Like your trading Coots cause you need to open a center position (1 center) but you are taking back a 3C, here is the issue, GM's don't view lineups like fans do. For a fan they see moving Coots out and needing to fill the 1C hole with a FA or through the draft or whatever. For a GM they see this as a cap saving move, Coots leaving and Dvorak in means their C lineup is Hayes-Frost-Dvorak-Laughton 1-4 so they no longer gave to have a need for a center and can spend cap somewhere else. That's just the start of the issues though, looking at the actual deal I think Montreal has to add quite a bit (so much that it doesn't make sense for them), like swap the Oil second for the Habs 2nd and swap a 3rd for Barron and swap Dvorak for a winger not named Caufield and add the Panthers 2023 1st (top 10 protected), at the very least.
