Rebuild Blow it up

Two 1sts for Nelson from a team that can't even afford him. Somehow Chychrun AND Vejmelka only get two firsts combined though? And one of them is three drafts away lol.

Good to see threads where zero consideration was put in from the other teams perspective.

This is not stronger at all.

Varlamov is not worth a 1st. If you also take back Petersen and retain 50% on Varlamov then maybe, but even then I think the Kings would be hesitant to move a 1st for a rental goalie.

Yeah, that is not quite enough of an offer for both Chych and Veggie but there is no issue with 2025 1st round drafts. I am a prospect nerd and 2025 is going to be a loaded 1st round.

Aside from Mayfield to Edmonton, which seems kind of reasonable, these are all bad. The LA, Arizona and Minnesota trades are all ridiculously tilted in the Isles favor, and while the Anaheim one is ok-ish value wise, why on earth would they want a 38 year old rental in Parise? Or why would the Isles want 30-something Henrique as part of a "rebuild"? The Ducks would probably get a better return if they held Henrique until the offseason or next trade deadline and retained salary to send him to a contender.
