Futures don’t do anything for teams looking to win.

Tampa and Toronto both laugh at those.

Islanders decline need to free up cap space not take more

TB says no thanks

These values are all over the place, you spent a Zary to dump Lucic, then went and offered futures to contenders for their top young players

Too much cap and futures for Isles to consider for one year of Gaudreau.
Intriguing thought on the Leafs traded. Leafs would consider if they thought Monahan could bounce and be good for the next two years.
Point is the best player on a Cup winner. Tampa easily declines/
NMC Koptitar stays at his Pacific Ocean beach house with a rising team instead of waiving to Calgary.

That value is nowhere near close enough to bring the Kings best player even without retention. You're 2-3 first round picks off before a conversation even starts. And has been pointed out, Kopi likely has Calgary on his list of teams he won't allow a trade to.

sense you included one of your best players and you first round draft pick, leafs accept

Why would HoSang sign with Calgary to.immediately get traded to Seattle? Not to mention he can't sign until AFTER the Expansion Draft...
