Tbh not sure if I’d do Gourde for Nils 1 for 1

This deal needs 1/2 retention at least. Maybe it was intended?! I’d even say double retention

not sure if you'd trade who will probably be your 7d next year for one of the better defensive centers in the league?

Bog overpay for a 3rd line center.

That is correct. Though personally I'd take Lundkvist over Schneider, his place on our depth chart says more about our depth than it him as a prospect (still one of the top RHD prospects in the entire league and a top 4 player on more than a few NHL rosters).

This is it. Maybe pay less for Gourde/have SEA retain 50% but Nils, Cuylle, and a 1st is a lot.
