Acceptable

Alright, well... I'm going to hole up in a bunker while you get shelled by those three fanbases you traded with...

Boqvist, the #8OA last year in a very deep defensive draft, is one year closer to the NHL after lighting up the juniors. Boqvist in this year's draft would be right behind Byram as a top 6 pick. Therefore, it would be Boqvist for LA's #5 pick OA nothing else as again, he's closer to the NHL then any other defenseman not named Byram; leave out the 2nd round pick.

That said, that would be dumb of the hawks to move Boqvist if they draft Byram. Those two together would be the future 1st liners for the Hawks hands down. Moving Gus and Beaudin #27OA plus a 2nd rounder is more feasible and pretty fair.

What? @ChiHawk likes your comment, then comments that including the 2nd is an over payment. Vegas is shedding around 8 million in (insanely valuable) cap space while picking up the 6th leading scorer among D-men last year.

If Gus is traded his value is a 1st rounder. I don’t see the problem.

Kings would want Borquist and 2020 1st. They have to win the trade, otherwise they just take a great prospect with the pick.

Vegas wants nothing to do with this. Clarkson goes on LTIR. Eakin is a young penalty killing 2/3C who wins faceoff. They aren't giving him away. Vegas will be moving players like Miller, Haula, Eakin for draft picks/prospects. They won't be giving these players and picks for zilch.

They need to be cap compliant before he goes on LTIR. His contract will be moved, it has negative value. Gus isn’t zilch, nice try.
