cbj takes that

That's a really good trade for Boqvist. You may be able to drop the pick to a second rounder but I would jump on that if I were Jarmo.

Then, if Jarmo deems it necessary, he could flip that pick plus some sweeteners for a guy like Kuznetsov with a lot of retainage or keep adding to the pool of prospects.

3 overpays.

Beck (low 1st/high 2nd) would be enough to swap picks with Anaheim, assuming they don't want Fantilli, which is silly.

$4M and a half retained veteran Dman would cost more than an underachieving AHL prospect.

Bobquist is worth a 2nd+. And Montreal doesn't even need him with Barron making the team.

I don’t think I’d give a 5th rounder for Edmundson 50% retained.

I'm glad that there's a "Direction 2," because Anaheim isn't trading the second overall pick in this draft.
