Shot in the dark

There is 0 chance Philadelphia considers even a 1:1 for DeBrincat and their '23 1st lol

Philly is absolutely not going to do that. They aren't trading their 23 1st and another 1st for a 25 year old winger when they are heading towards a rebuild.

I like some of what you did here.

Philly isn't going to make that trade but just say you made the trade elsewhere. I would like to see it for a 1st in this summer's draft and hopefully, an upgrade in net over Forsberg allowing the team to move him and let Soogard get as many starts as possible.

Replacing Debrincat with Bertuzzi fits the nasty physical goal-scoring edge this team has and is great, but I wouldn't do Zuccarello as well. I have a funny feeling with the boarder vax issue and the way he is looking so far in Boston, it is gonna be hard to get him out of there.

Would rather see Kleven over Hamonic in the line up, they can still sign him, but keep him as a 3rd pairing guy, or 7th D.

Watson is a great locker room guy, but I debate if it is worth bringing him back, especially for the term you gave him over Gauthier. Who is better on PK, faster and still pretty physical in his own right.

With all due respect, Minnesota declines, so does Zuccarello. They aren't taking away kaprizov's sidekick and 1a to him
