Molto Complicato

Wishful thinking my friend, but i like it minus Wedin over Caggs

Fixed it, just for you. I know its a lot to digest, but which part is unrealistic? Saad can get 1st. Gus can get 1st. Two mid 1st rounders plus a prospect or two will get you 5OA. This years draft is super deep. Great players are available thru top 15 easy. If not Chicago can add another 1st from 2020. Anything for Turcotte.

Don't think the Oilers give up the #8OA for Gus, Perlini and a 2nd. Gus and Saad are both worth late first rounders agree. Perlini is a 3rd rounder...doubt he nets a 2nd back. Once you're in the top 10 in any draft, the value goes up exponentially so a late 1st (Gus) plus a 2nd and 3rd doesn't necessarily equate to the #8OA. I think if you did Gus, 2020 1st rounder, and a 3rd you are closer.

Also on a much minor note given your moves here, just don't see how Vegas takes on a cap hit in Anisimov ($3.8M with retained). Vegas is over the cap without signing Karlsson. They have to shed quite a bit this year (Eakin/Huala, Miller, Reeves) just to get in a position to be compliant. That said, Eakin or Haula is doable with a 2nd rounder and maybe include Forsling if needed. AA can get a 3rd rounder back from a team like BUF. The return would be better IMO with this approach. Minor details nonetheless.

I see a lot of Callahan and Raddysh trades for peanuts. I'm not sold that TBL is going to do get back next to nothing just because they need to move 1 year of Callahan. Too many teams would accept that with little value going back.

You right about moving up to Turcotte,its a long shot.

Anisimov trade, I'd agree with you that VGK have little space to operate in, but they are somewhat limited with Russians who speak good english, know the system, know Guves. Big part of Panarin clicking so well his first year in Chicago was Anisimov. and Goose situation is very similar. Dude never played anywhere but russia, so its huge change. Plus most russian players are lazy morons when it comes to learning foreign languages.

Callahan, well here is how I look at it. What would you pay for Callahan with almost $6M hit, straight up? I'd pay nothing, not even 7th round pick. I'd want something in return. because he will either be part time 4th liner at $6M, or you will buy him out at $2.7M plus $1.6M next year. So how much will you take back to eat $2.7M plus $1.6M in 2021? It will have to be at least 3rd rounder in my opinion, otherwise its not worth it. So does 3rd rounder and Hayden = Radysh? I think so. If not I guess they can have Sycura instead.
