These are almost exclusively trades that the other GMs would do backflips over. Vancouver is likely to buyout Holtby, and Schmidt requested a trade, so you get both of them and give up a pick. Leafs have said they are keeping Holl (and based on recent reports, he would fetch at least a 2nd round pick if not more because GMs like large RD). Dermott or Liljegren individually hold way more value than Brandon Lemieux who himself was traded to LA for a 4th round pick. Engvall for Marchment is actually quite fair and Leafs definitely regret moving him as they thought they had Kyle Clifford as long term 4LW and he chose to go back to Western USA but thats about it. Nylander who is signed for 4 more seasons at a very reasonable number for Bertuzzi a 2nd and a 3rd is closer to a real trade, but we're getting the worse player. Lastly, Soucy is worth more than a 3rd same way Holl is. Large dmen are valued right now.
You have maybe 2 trades that seem fair, and moving Nylander is not the way to go, he actually showed up in the playoffs, and Engvall for Marchment isn't really a needle-moving deal it just adds someone who is smaller (engvall is taller/heavier) but hits more, that's it. The rest go from bad to horrible to firing the GM. Both the Rielly trade and the Lemieux trade would get a GM fired. Lemieux who is a 13th Forward/4th line wing getting a RD prospect who's ready for the NHL and a young capable bottom pair LD is hilarious. Rielly a prospect and a pick for a player who's going to be bought out or traded with retention and another player asking for a trade is so bad I wonder if the NHL would even allow it.
