-even IF we want to act like Mat Barzal and JT Miller have similar values (debatable, but let's run with it): in what world would you get Ryan Pulock & Aatu Raty back for a second line winger, a b-tier D prospect, and cap dump? at least *try* and come with fair value if you're going to want to trade for a team's best C and RD1.
-I mean, I guess this is an okay trade? depends if LA wants to try and see if DiPietro can be something, but I'll leave it to Kings fans to judge mid-tier prospect value here.
-Pittsburgh already has Kris Letang, Jeff Petry, Jan Rutta, and Chad Ruhwedel signed to NHL deals as RHD. Why are they giving up an affordable middle-6 forward for *another* RHD?
-Easy no for Buffalo. Rosen and McDonough probably cancel out but I'm sure Buffalo keeps their 1st rounder there; Brisebois is filler, so the trade basically turns into Myers & Pearson for Ryan Johnson, Mats Lindgren, and Vinnie Hinostroza. If Buffalo was trying to get over the hump as a Cup contender, I could buy it. Spoiler alert: they are not, so they're not going to trade young assets for veterans on pricey deals. If you want them to take on $9.25M in cap for the next 2 years, you're paying them for the privilege.
-I honestly think this trade is worse than the Islanders trade. Vancouver is giving up two bottom pair D making a combined $4M, plus a 4th rounder, and gets back another bottom pair D making only $1.25M, a recent 1st rounder in Soderstrom, and another B tier prospect in Raty? It *might* be a fair trade if you just delete everything on the Arizona side and send the 4th with Dermott/Poolman, but you're not getting anything back for that.
-I can't see Vegas saying yes to this. I think they'd rather have Brossoit than Martin, if only because there's no other goalies with a decent amount of NHL experience currently in their organization. Juulsen is basically a 7th D at this point in his career, so stapling a 4th rounder to him isn't going to get Vegas to give up one of their few younger chips they currently have.
-Neither of these guys really profile as NHL players, so I don't know why Seattle gives up a 7th for each of them when they could just go sign one of a hundred guys off the street to be the same type of AHL depth.
