-a 30 year old forward making $1.75M coming off a year where he had three (3) goals in 75 GP isn't getting you a 4th, not from any team. Andrew Cogliano was a similarly profiled player last season and he only got back a 5th rounder *after* Anaheim retained him down to $500K. You're moving Nosek for FC or you're retaining fully and getting back a late round pick.
-With Nick Backstrom possibly gone for the whole year, I can't see the Caps trading a potential C replacement in Connor McMichael, especially not when you're asking them to also trade down from the 2nd to the 4th and only sending back a mildly pricey LD2 coming off an injury and a 4th liner.
-Boston would add a ton to a Reilly - Duclair swap. Duclair scored 30 goals last season, and even if he's missing a chunk due to injury this year, he's still more valuable to the Panthers than spending $3M on a guy who'd be LD3 for them (I like Reilly but I don't see him pushing Brandon Montour or Gustav Forsling out of their spots.) With Florida being tight against the cap, I feel like they'd take 50ish games of Duclair at $3M over a full season of Reilly at LD3 for the same price, so Boston adds something notable to convince them to do the deal.
