-I guess this is fair value for Dumoulin - he's a top 4 guy, you're asking Pittsburgh to fully retain, and let's be honest - barring something unexpected, the Penguins are going to be in the playoff race at the deadline. If you're going to ask them to make a hole on their roster, then you're going to have to overpay, which is why a 2023 1st is the bottom of what you'd need to pay out - just look at what a guy with a similar contract in Ben Chiarot got at the last deadline. Do I think it's a good deal for Edmonton though? Ehhh...probably going to be better, less expensive options to upgraded LD2/3 if they feel the need.
-I don't get why Anaheim does this for you. I'd argue that Lavoie & the 3rd is not enough for Klingberg fully retained; I'd argue that Anaheim can get at least a 2nd and a stronger prospect if they're eating all of Klingberg's contract. And they won't have to absorb a more expensive contract to do so. Ducks pass on this offer very easily.
