That's an overpay for Barabonov. I love him as a player and think he's worth a late 1st at the most. But 3 draft picks for him is quite a lot.

If Logan is ready to move on, then great for us, but I can't see that happening for another few years when until 2025 season is over where Burns' retained salary is finalized. Plus at that point, it will only be 2 years of service for a vet center for a contending team.

EK65 trade is rich. The draft picks are solid with lottery protections but i can't see Seattle giving up Bjorkstrand and 2 more players just for EK65, we'll have to either retain more or take less picks/lower level players

No from Minnesota! They aren't taking on that contract

Just can't see San Jose retaining that much on 4 years more of Karlsson. Seattle are not likely to pursue Karlsson if available, Acquisition cost would be too high, mirrored by his albatross of a contract.

Barb trade isnt an overpay imo. He's a player who had 47P in 68 games and i think he could put up 65+. Then you factor in his cheap contract at 2.5M i think a mid 1st and 2 4ths are worth it.
