Don't get me wrong, I would be ecstatic to have Adam Henrique. If I could have one addition to the Pens' roster this season, it'd be him. But dear God, all of these are overpays.
Last year, middle-six forwards at/before the deadline typically would go for around either a 1st or a 2nd and a B-ish prospect. Sometimes roster players to make the cap work. Think Toffoli, Copp, Lehkonen, and Rakell. I think Henrique would be somewhere in the middle of that - Probably doesn't get a 1st (at least not a 2023 one) like Toffoli or Copp, but likely gets at least a little more than Rakell.
The Edmonton and New Jersey offers are drastic overpays imo.
As a Pens fan, I'd be offering something along the lines of a '23 2nd, '24 3rd, a prospect (I'd rather part with Legare or Broz, but I think Hallander or Poulin are more likely), and Kapanen with retention to make it cap neutral. If that doesn't work, I like Henrique enough and am desperate enough to offer a package around our '24 1st, but I don't think something like Stephen's suggestions is realistic.
