Blues fans have made a lot of noise about Thomas being untouchable, so I don't know if that's the package to pry him out. He's also only got one affordable year left before RFA - gonna have to pay him and K'Andre after 2022-23 (plus fill out your bottom 6) with only ~$11M in cap space.
Kings fans can correct me on this one, but I think it's a fair trade. Turcotte is younger and cheaper so the Kings get two change-of-scenery guys for their one.
Hawks need someone to play goal, so I can't hate the value for them there. It means they basically turn Brandon Hagel and a couple 4ths into 2 1sts, Boris Katchouk, and Georgiev - not horrible on their end.
I think Philly sends less back - Nemeth pulls value away from Lundkvist, so I think it's a single 3rd coming back for that package.
Lastly - explain to me why the Isles give up next year's 1st (hopefully in the 20s?) for this year's 1st (25ish?) and a couple mid-round picks. I know teams want to trade out of this year's 1st and get more chances at next year's, but I don't think an extra 4/5/6 is enough to get the Isles to play that game. Although I must commend the commitment to clearing out your ENTIRE draft cupboard this year.
