Not bad. I wouldn't do the Murray trade. Instead I would le stauber play.

The trade with Arizona is great!

I would also let korchinski play

Not sure if it's visible but I bought out Murray because I think the goalie situation is good as it is. As for Korchinski, I think he can benefit from another year in Seattle to get a bit better defensively. I'd be more than glad to see him on the Hawks but Davidson is not afraid to take his time with players' development

They wouldn't be bringing in Murray to play. Purely a cap dump at this point.

I doubt the team would have any interest in Barbashev at those numbers, or maybe at any price.

Yeah thats why I bought him out. I think Barbashev would be a great fit with Bedard, who needs talent around him. You have the money so as long as it's max 2 years, why not

That probably isn't enough to get the 12th overall pick.

I don't know how much Seattle T-Birds you watched this past season, but it's pretty obvious he probably needs more time. He has to work on defense and probably needs to mature physically a bit more. Might even need to mature mentally as well. haha. If he were able to go to the AHL, I'd say do that, but it's not probable.

I used The Athletic's draft pick value chart. Picks 19 + 55 are worth 5.6 on the scale and pick 12 is worth 5.5 but maybe since it is a deeper draft you might need to add a bit more who knows

great for Chi !no way AZ drops 12OA for that haul

Interesting. I keep hearing about it, but I honestly haven't even looked at the Athletic chart. I've been using this one:
