Welcome to CapFriendly! Sometimes it's not always friendly.
You are right to target the left side of New York's defense as needing a top-quality reinforcement. But what you've offered here for Hampus Lindholm is wholly inadequate. Ryan Strome had a good year for you this season, but he isn't as good as Adam Henrique and doesn't have the upside of Trevor Zegras, and no fewer than four of our LD prospects (Jacob Larsson, Christian Djoos, Brendan Guhle and Josh Mahura) are rated more highly than Matthew Robertson and are all closer to the NHL than he is. Any trade offer for Lindholm that we would even entertain would have to start with your earlier first-round pick in 2020 and another high-quality asset.
With Panarin and Kreider now signed long-term and Lemieux, Chytil and even Andersson in the system, you don't need Greenway, and with Koivu and Staal aging out, Minnesota is looking for a #2C (Strome?) or right-handed forward, not a defenseman.
