Is Carter Hart a Vezina candidate? The answer is no. You're not getting that kind of return for him.

And fat chance of Alex Nedeljkovic taking a major pay cut to play on a team even worse than Detroit. If he's willing to sign that cheaply we'd just hold onto him.

I mean 2 years of Peterson at 5 million has significant negative value and turcotte isn't worth much right now. Also no 2023 picks involved

No the CBJ does not want Kevin Hayes. Fans have been against this since this rumor has been leaked and A. Portzline has reported this was a rumor. We would take Provorov since we need a 2nd pair LD more than we need wingers. We have a glutton of wingers. Needs are top 4 LD and 1/2 line center.

Once again, the hilariously fallacious circular reasoning of "if the Kings trade for a goalie, they have to include Cal Petersen in the trade going back, and if Cal Petersen is included in the trade, then he has to be accompanied by a first-round draft pick because he's included in the trade."

So let's take out Petersen and the first and what do we have? Turcotte, a second, and a second that could likely become a first for a guy whom, as @HockeyIsMyPassion61 implies, no one has ever accused of being a Vezina Trophy candidate. Take Turcotte out because the Kings aren't ready to give up on him yet and substitute Sean Walker so that the money works and you have a deal.

Hate to say it but Hayes walks in as Columbus 1c next season, for 2 3rd round picks and Hayes making under 5 mil, Columbus has to strongly consider that trade.

On the surface of it, that looks like a steal for Anaheim, however a lot has come out about Provorov being a locker room diva, overly self absorbed, etc. Plus the whole pride thing likely doesn't fly in SoCal. Guy is too much of a locker room cancer to bring to Anaheim.

Jackson Cates? 2 mil? Is that a joke?

Uhhh Hayes is a 1C/2C, he isn't a winger. He has played all over this year for Torts, but he's a natural center. he's also an all situations center, and the only reason why he is on the block is because him and Torts don't mesh. And with that retention, you're getting a top 2 center for around 4 mm, and an old teammate and friend of your superstar winger, that's kind of a steal.
