bro is playing franchise mode loll. I mean no picks for 4+ years and sure

Don’t forget about prospects. Maybe three of them we will be able to get but not all. This is for a run. I don’t care about the future right now

Sure but you're blowing 2 drafts and your best prospects doing it

I’d rather have a cup

At this time, you may wish to check the team's cap sheet. You don't even have near enough to bring Mantha back if he becomes fit.

And if he doesn't get fit? You'd still not even have enough to grab Lyubushkin without retention.

The people on ltir are for the trades. This team is under the cap. I’m I missing something else like bonuses

Umm okay. It would sure all be easier to gauge if you showed your work on the trades.

Ok give me 10 minutes

Sammy and a third for maf retained
A first for hagel
A first a second and leason for giroux half retained
Iorio and a third for pavs
Ilya for a fourth
Eller for a second and third
Others I have no idea

Okay, so COULD you get all of them? Well, no, because there's zero chance Flower comes to play for you. And I feel like you might feel he's the most important one to get. Could maybe get some of them, though.

Would it be wise to do all that? In my opinion, no. You've made the team slower and have no 3C, plus your draft base for the next two years is shot, and these are two years you don't want to miss out on.

Pavs will cost 1st+, this isn’t cutting it.

If we don’t get really good offers, re-signing him would be the best option.

Realistically it’d be smarter to not spend that many futures for a cup run. Spend enough to not destroy the farm and contend for a cup, meet it in the middle.

Unless it's a clear overpay, Hagel isn't going anywhere

Three guys would probably be the best option

Flower is highly unlikely to accept a trade to Washington.

Hagel is so valuable to the hawks you'd have to send a trade offer that you clearly lose inorder for the hawks to think about it.

I think you'd have to be creative, maybe fix two issues, like giroux and RD Braun both half retained for a 1st, 2nd and a good/top prospect (better than Leason, Iorio?) and then throw in a cap dump like Kempny, Samsonov or Schultz. (If schultz is cap dump, acquiring both those guys aonly eats 1mil in cap).

I would expect price of Giroux and Pavelski to be similar (solid prospect and a 1st), with Giroux probably fetching a bit more (a solid prospect, a 1st and a 2nd), adding braun costs a better prospect, but they also take the cap dump

Definitely would think if one of these guys are the target , it is Giroux.... Familiarity with Lavy from time in Philly together and would be a great piece for faceoffs, could be in bumper spot and Ovie spot on Power play in different alignments and units.... A thought would be maybe sending Eller in the package back for Giroux, maybe even Brassard thrown in a bigger deal...(remember they can be over 23 players as of the Deadline Day, just have to be cap compliant through season's end and then Mantha could be added to mix in playoffs if shoulder is ready.... could get very creative and really fortify team without dipping too deep into the prime prospects on this team...
