Hawks and Avs decline. DeMelo gets more money

COL declines rather easily

Brutal trade for Chicago, easily the Hawks decline

Why?
I think its a fair trade

Engvall wouldn't even make the hawks lineup so he's not worth much. Holl and a 2nd doesn't get you Murphy

Of course he would, but since you probably have never watched him, he is a good bottom 6 player.
This trade makes a lot of sense imo, and Murphy is a good bet to get traded.

Funny, because I watch the Leafs a lot.

Kane, Saad, Debrincat, Kubalik, Nylander, Shaw, Highmore and Carpenter (plus prospect Suter from the Swiss league we need to find a role for).

He doesn't fit in

Holl is hot garbage defensively and a huge downgrade from Murphy, a 2nd round pick doesn't make up the difference.

How is Murphy a good bet to be traded? He and Keith are the two most reliable guys on the blue line. He’s one of the guys they can afford to lose least. He’s on a good contract too, they’re certainly not trading him for a 2nd.

Oh c'mon, Holl is a BIG piece to add

Swap MDC with Josh Ho-Sang .
