The value on the Giroux trade is about right.

Keller will be a lot proably more than Chycrun

Alright

Thank you

Doubt Keller is for sale. He would not come cheap, your looking at McMichael, 1st + to even start the conversation

We need a young star. Who do you have in mind

Philly seems to be tanking maybe they've got someone like Konecny

Or just wait for Lapierre to develop with McMichael

We have no more time to wait. This team is getting older

Retaining half and taking a salary back I’d want an additional draft pick in the Dallas deal

Probably a 1st round pick top ten protected would get it done for buffalo. They could retain 50% without blinking

Why would we just trade Olofsson for late first? 1st + prospect maybe.

What about mantha

Holy overpay...
Retaining $1mil for the remaining year in exchange for a young goalie that will be a great backup (at least) at a low contract price and a 3rd is a complete steal

Thank you

Mantha is a good player, but I don't see the point for Buffalo, age, injuries and the contract doesn't meet our needs.

Here are my offer:

Vanecek + Iorio + 1st for Olofsson 50% retain + 2023 2nd

Olofsson is still RFA and is unlikely to be asking for a huge contract.

DeSmith has been really bad this year. Which is the entire reason Pitt would want Holtby in the first place. Holtby should be worth a third all by himself. Then you’re adding retention on Holtby and asking us to take a contract back. I’m not sure if y’all think I’m talking about another third rounder or something like that, but I think if Dallas is sending Pitt Holtby AND helping with some cap maneuvering a third and a fifth is a reasonable ask

It’s a minor detail in this trade scenario but it’s similar to all the Toronto fans on this site assuming they can just throw Ritchie or Mrazek into any deadline deal without providing value for taking bad cap

Honestly you wouldn’t have to retain if we want to get holtby because we need a goalie bad. It was just for the team I made here

What about without retaining

But we will get more with retain for him, many will be willing to pay for such a player with a salary of 1.5 million.

True. That’s fair

Would you package him with tage Thompson
