Interesting deals all around, however, I don't think that NSH needs to give up the 2nd in the TOR deal since they are taking on a multi-year Ritchie + retaining on Forsberg.
I like what I've seen this year from Sissons, but it does make sense to move on from Sissons with all of the younger players NSH has in their system. And it honestly might work for EDM who should definitely get out from under that Kassian deal and shouldn't be afraid to trade 1sts. Sissons would be a perfect player for their bottom 6 and PK -- they may prefer someone with more offensive upside though.
Forsberg would be a tough guy to lose, but getting a 1st + good prospect is a good start. They may be able to get another pick out of it depending on interest around the league as well. Slowly, NSH is quickly turning into team Russia -- Trenin, Afanasyev, Askarov, Svechkov, and now Amirov.
If NSH continues with this direction, I wonder if there is a deal to be made with VAN around Podkolzin and Fabbro/Myers. Could be of interest to both teams. May as well add one more Russian to the club lol
