Major overpay for Ellis IMO. I don’t think the upgrade from zaitsev to Ellis is worth nylander, Johnsson and a 2nd.

As much as I’d love that kind of return for Nashville, I have to agree that this is an overpayment

Remove Johnsson from the trade. Give the 2 million from Kapanen here to Johnsson, than give the 3 million from Stralman to resign Kapanen. Than sign Babs favorite dmen Hainsey for under 2 million or call up both Duszak and Rosen.

Wait a second, did you add that extra 16'000 onto Marner's contract because Matthews got 34'000 on his contract on purpose? Both players getting their jersey # included into the price.

What about

nylander kapanen and a 3rd

For

Ellis, Allard, Watson

Might be the biggest overpay I've ever seen.

What about Ellis and Tolvanen instead?

I would prefer that, not sure the preds would though

The other issue is that we would end up losing 3 RW with brown leaving too, leaves us with only marner and Bracco. Would actually make more sense to move Johnsson at that point.

This preds fan would be ok with that tbh. Nylander and Kapanen are already a know commodity. We still aren't sure if Tolvanen is going to ever become a full fledge nhl player (i think he will though). I also want to keep allard as our defensive pipeline is basically empty.
