You might get away with selling myers to Arizona with a smaller sweetener because of the lower money to cap ratio but there isn’t a team giving you a 2nd

I still think he's a good (not great) nhl defenseman just on a really bad team. His main partner is OEL, who I think is not good.

Oilers not trading Ryan McLeod for that

Not even close for Bo Horvat, JR wants 2 young players and a high end prospect. That offer would be easily blown away.

Mcleod is not for sale. Somebody like yamamoto could be though.

I don't think edmonton needs kuzmenko. I think someone like conor Garland is good enough.

Yamamoto for Garland i would do.

What JR wants and what JR gets are two different things. You also do realize this was made by a Canucks fans, right?

Garland is 5 times the cap cost than kuzmenko and half the points and edmonton needs ufa not long term players at 5.0 mil. Edmonton need a top wing to play with your 2 elite centers. If they dont go for it the next 2 yrs then Leon will be gone with no cup (because they can't afford 2 guys making over $12+)

A 4th line center and 2nd for a guy making under a mil and almost a point a game. Edmonton will never win the cup if they dont go for it in the next 2 yrs.

This trade is a young player and two high end prospects (assumption being that a 2023 1st results in a high end prospect).

That return seems more than adequate, imo

Devils fans normally say it's an over payment. They think their prospects are all top line players. I hope vancouver can get more for it. I think horvat is a difference maker, even if it's just for 1 yr.

The Devils also should have no reason to go after Horvat with Hischier and Hughes already at 1-2C. Horvat is great, but shouldn't be a priority.

I agree they don't need him but rumors have been linked to him.

Little bites of the elephant but it gets eaten I've never heard that but it's a good analogy.

My honest view is, there is no harm in acting "in" if it raises the price on the team I think does go for Horvat (Carolina).

Totally.
