I think that could work. As long as it isn’t like 25th + overall

Make this trade for next season and re-sign players to see if it works and make the 4 lines as well as D pairs.

Has Rakell fallen off that hard? A first and a 3C is not very good for what I perceived his value was

Strome isn't a 3c

He's a couple seasons removed from that career year and he hasnt been as productive but hes still good and on a good contract too. Its not a terrible offer depending on your view of strome. I think he slots as a 2nd line center if he can stay consistent. He isn't as good as panarin made him look this year

Are we talking with or without Panarin? I really cant see any GM selling on a player like Rakell for someone who was clearly lifted by another player during a contract year

but even without Panarin I still think he belongs in the top 6
