Acciari is easily worth one of the thirds, so you have ROR as = to a first, a third and a B-prospect smurf. I don't think that gets it done. And then on top of that, you're asking for 50% retention. I know that the actual dollar amount is small, but still . . .

I would be shocked if the Blues had any interest in Hirvonen.

You don't just get Acciari for free

Okay forget acciari, I'll remove him. I was just thinking of how we added a 3/4th liner in the Gio trade.

What about now? In the ball park?

What would the blues be interested in prospect wise? I don't know the organization at all? Obviously everyone wants talent, but like position or needs wise?

Apparently I wasn't so far off

Wasn't free

The above trade was damn close to what the Leafs paid for O'Reilly and aciari. What you claimed was acciari for free

No. The blues got a first, second, and third, two jr players, and didn't have to retain on ROR.

They retained half of RO'R's contract and got an ahler (Adam Gaudette) and a junior prospect with probably equivalent or less value than Hirvonen above

So essentially I suggest 1st, 3rd, 3rd and Hirvonen
They got 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Abramov (and Gaudette who was a contract throw in likely).

Essentially the difference is a third to a second. Pretty dang close.

You are forgetting a 4th

St Louis didn't get a fourth. The fourth went to minni to retain some of the contract.

But even so I'd still say I was shockingly close
