Elite bold moves

I don't see CBJ and CHI trade going through. Simply no reason for those teams to do this. The Meier trade proposal is 100 % getting surpassed.

Mike Grier will only retain 18% on Karlsson, $4,900,000 is a major fantasy. And it isn't happening for those pieces either.

And that garbage isn't even close to getting both Gavrikov and Nyquist. You need to add a 1st. Oh that's right you gave up your 1st for Karlsson. The CBJ pass big time.

Not sure which one is the more The Columbus deal or the Timo Meier deal. Either way both are outbid big time.

I agree with your assessment of the Columbus trade, but not so much on the sharks. If the returns for Karlsson and Meier were combined here that's a great return. Folks are forgetting that Karlsson is deciding where he goes. Essentially all a team is trading for is salary retention. Otherwise EK just hangs out making his 11.5 mill and the sharks can't do anything about it.

Sharks have no use for either Ceci or Barrie, And Kesselring is meh. So it's basically only the picks and Grier isn't eating over $20,000,000 on Karlsson for such a meh return.

And that Timo Meier trade is easily beaten by half of the league. And with Karlsson added there's no way Holland can give Meier 8 x $9,000,000 so Meier would be a rental only in Edmonton.

Why does CHI take a cap dump for Lafferty who actually has value?
