Swap Beecher for Lohrei you might get Zona’s attention. Don’t think this does it.

What do you do for cap space next year? You have $4.5M in performance bonus that will carry over.

Unload some of Carlo/Hall/Coyle, or maybe even Ullmark. The core of Marchand, Pastrnak, McAvoy, Lindholm, Chychrun, and Swayman should be ok for a year or two until we can find some young talent at center. Shane Pinto or Blake Lizotte maybe?

Lohrei may be very decent in 2 years but

The problem with all these Chych for 2 1sts + d prospect trades is that Zona doesn't replace his value either way in their timeline to rebuild. They will most likely have a really competitive team next year and an even better team in '25 with or without Matthews for a cup run because they'll have Bedard/Fant/top tier C with their other blue chip forwards.

Chych + Ghost have been a league leading top pair playing on a shallow team. Yotes should resign and keep that top pair nice n cheap with Vej 1G and ELCs Bedard, Cooley, Guenther, Geekie. They can spend to the cap and have in the past when the team was better. If you disagree, put the actual future team together and see for yourself.

This and most other offers don't replace his value in that equation. He most likely isn't traded and they both will be happy by the end of his deal about it... most likely. Because you'd need to add another 1st for it to be worth it for them, and then its not for Boston.

They’re team is going to be absolutely horrible next year. Still in competition with chicago for worst in the league.

Just a thoroughly unnecessary pickup. Chychrun to boston died when they picked up lindholm.
