Konecny

Pinto has no arb rights, so could probably get him signed for 2-years.

At $2M that would be a crime. I feel one year at an obviously discounted price if enough to ask of the kid.

This is probably still missing a 2nd and then I would accept for TK

The alternative which is probably more likely than anything if a Konencny trade to Ottawa occurs. Is that they first sign the rest of their guys, and go with their current roster more or less. So maybe he gets a little more than 2M. Konencny is then added later in the year when they accrue the cap for adding him. Philadelphia will likely take their time shopping him to maximize the return, so best to wait for several teams to be desperate. Ottawa on the other hand is probably not offering this package at this time (Dorion can't look like he's bleeding assets totry saving face).

Pinto will be arb. eligible just as the cap is up a ton anyways, so he can claw any "discount" back if he really wants as long as he doesn't become a bust.

i think the flyers deal is ok in terms of value, however flyers want a massive overpay to accept a Konecny deal and im not sure this is it. Neither Thompson or Brännström have shown anything at the nhl level at a age where you might expect them to make an impact. and the pick is most likely bostons 1st since its the worse pick between det and bos if im not mistaken.

I would probably take the Ott pick instead of detroit (detroitpick is worth less than ott because of the conditions) but keep some lotteryprotection and/or maybe upgrade the one of the prospect.
