Why is ANA giving you a third for Weber?

I think for this one you're on the right track but still, a little bit off, at this point Toews is a negative asset. were we to trade for him Hoffman alone would work for Toews and some mid-late round pick (think late third to early fifth). toews has a cap hit of 10.5 mil for another year, whereas Hoffman is only making 4.5 in that same time. tank commander Hoffman, somehow, is more effective on ice than Toews. To send Petry AND dvo in return for Toews warrants more than just a second-rounder, closer to maybe the 23 first or even 24 first-rounder and second-rounder. I see what you're thinking and I like the process here; taking on cap to increase the number of assets you receive is a great way to rebuild, but the value on this one is just a little out of whack.

ducks have WEBED feet

Chicago's in the middle of a rebuild. If they're trading their aging assets (big IF right there) they're going try and do it for young players and picks. Not for what you've built here. Chicago easily passes.

Sure, a floor team buys Weber's deal for that, whatever.

Ottawa isn't giving up assets for Paul Byron. They've already got enough young bodies on ELCs than they have open forward spots - why would they add *another* guy into that mix?

HABS are in a rebuild. Why would trade for JT who will be 35 next year.

If we want a veteran center we can try to sign Bergeron as a UFA for $8M per year

Yes, zero need or roster spot for Paul Byron, who also wouldn't return a 5th round pick from Ottawa

It's original though, first time I have ever seen that proposal

Ottawa has no interest in Byron
