TDL Deal with NSH

I would accept this as Nashville

As Preds fan I wouldn't accept that trade.
Value of Granlund (with half retention) should be around late 1st.
So I do not think that Ekholm for Frost is a good trade.
Especially due to the fact, that Predators have no interest in Hägg or Twarynski (in such type of trades such players are dead weight).

In my mind this trade should looks like that:
Granlund (half retention)+Ekholm
for
2021 1st, Frost, York, Gostisbehere(dead weight).
Seems more fair.

Took a while for Granlund to get a deal in the offseason, and he is only on contract til the end of the year - signifying he is a rental. I don't see him being worth a late 1st with his stats this season and the role he'd play in PHI. That's just my opinion though.

Looking at your offer, you're essentially saying a 1st, two A-prospects and Ghost (who actually has decent stats this year) for an expiring UFA and Ekholm. I wouldn't take that on PHI's end

I saw a lot of concepts where fans of the other teams pay late 1st for Granlund (with half retention). So I would prefer to get this first round pick for Granny.
So, yes it is two A prospects+3 years of dead weight for Ekholm.

For me Ghost is a dead weight (pretty close to absolutely negative value). With that trade Philadelphia saves 4m for next 3 years, gets Ekholm for the next 2 years and only pays 2 A lvl prospects.

If Ghost is dead weight, then no point in PHI offering him, as he's providing value to the team right now. Adding assets to ship a guy to a team that isn't necessarily dead weight to you isn't a good move for them; which is why I offered Hagg and other pieces instead.
