I think Holland said he is not trading Broberg, Bouchard or Samorukov

pageau would cost a 1st and if demelo is available with his cap hit hed go for a 2nd

Replace lagesson for samorukov or Rodriguee and Detroit accepts.

No one is paying a first for Pageau.
As for Demelo he’s not resigning in Ottawa so they’ll take what the can get for him. Maybe if I switch Sammer with Legs in the Detroit Ottawa trades.

If you make that change, both Detroit and I accept your proposal and thank you for your negotiations.

multiple insiders have already said its gonna cost at least a 1st or a prospect worth that and that ottawa and demelo have already had talks about extension but if moved that almost every team will want him because of his 900K cap hit and his defensive defencemen play

Ottawa laughs you out of the building.

1. Were taking cap hit to help you make this trade.

2. DeMelo is an analytics darling RHD on a cheap contract. We have no issues with cap and need to make the floor, he will accept the bucket of cash we dump in front of him.

3. Samorukov would be behind Chabot/Brannstrom/Lajoie/Tychonik/Wolanin on the left side alone

4. Pageau will go for a late first (Expected 25-31) and a C prospect. Hes +16 on the second worst team in the league (despite getting 65% Defensive zone starts). He kills PK. Hes the exact kind of player whom teams are desperate for entering the playoffs.

5. Khaira is 25, plays LW (which we dont need) and is playing on a 20pt pace.


Did you consider out team before you threw the trade out? or only what your team wanted?
