I don’t think that deal gets NSH’s attention. Sure the picks are nice, but they wouldn’t have as much interest in the other pieces. They’d want higher level prospects. This just seems like some high picks and then spare parts.

Over valuing the pieces is a normal reaction on here... simply put... Ekholm isnt going to bring them more than what Muzzin cost and Forsberg is a top 6 winger that isnt going to bring in a sweepstake

Yes there does seem to be some over valuing here

um good luck protecting ekholm in expansion

"Wth Forsberg and Ekholm cap hits being prorated this season their actual cap hits at 50% are actually 1.5 and 938k... freeing up about another 2.4 million on the cap
Hall actual cap hit at 2 million"

That is not how things work. You are massively over the cap.

Would you trade Nylander and Muzzin and retain half for the package you have put together for Forsberg and Ekholm? (Assuming they had the same term remaining and same cap hit)
