Draft shenanigans

Terrible deal for Washington

Mantha probably cost a first to dump and Anderson would go for a first + if traded. I think that's a pretty decent trade.

Phil;ly isn;t really looking to move Hart, but would do so for an OVERpyament, that is really an underpayment and Armia carries no value at 3.4mil, especially to a team full of wingers.

Hart is probably worth the 2 1sts almost alone

In 2013, a better Schneider was traded for the 9th OA after putting up some amazing seasons with the Nucks. With his stats the past 3 seasons (even though I see the potential), Hart isn't worth nearly two top 12 pick in one of the best draft in recent memories. And the players available from 8th to 12th are all pretty similar (I just did the trade to secure Reinbacher but he might as well be available at 11th).

2013 was a world away, but anything after the top 8 or so picks is a crap shoot whether you get a player as Hart has been so far. But as I said "Hart is ALMOST worth the two 1sts alone", theres not enough difference left, so what is PHI getting for dropping back 4 spots and taking a 3.4mil cap hit they dont want?

As the buyer, you need to offer the seller what they want, your offer is not enough for something they dont need/want to sell.
