pens decline.

If we are giving up that package it better include more than Ullmark. Grzelcyk, Hall, Frederic should interest the Pens. In other words. Blockbuster!

Feels like ur giving up a lot in that CGY trade, obv getting a 1C, but that is a lot, would definitely prefer Hanafin over Dube there, and Freddy over JD. Idk if id do that if im Sweeney

I mean every Flames fan is proposing Lysell, Lohrei, Poitras, Hall, Grzelyck and a 1st so I was trying to compromise

Its not like those guys coming back to Boston are high end prospects. I think its a pretty even trade

Ya i know Flames fans want the world for their 2 prized possessions even tho everyone wants out of that city. If everyone is on expiring contracts and want out, the leverage they have for trades is limited by other offers.

Lysell + Hall + Grz is a good package to start with, dpeending on if ur going for Lindholm/Hanafin/Both. Although CGY definitely prefers JD over Hall

I don't think Hall waives for CGY. If I am Sweeney and getting Lindholm/Hanafin in a package, it starts with:

- Grz
- Frederic
- 2025 1st Round

Prospects (Pick 2 of the 4)

- Lohrei
- Lysell
- Poitras
- Merkulov

Possible Throw Ins:
- Marc McLaughlin
- Johnny Beecher
- Brett Harrison
- 2026 First Round

Idk about Hall waiving, it is his hometown, but they do look like theyre gonna blow up in the coming future

I think Grz + Freddy + 2025 1st is a decent package for Hanafin, wouldnt be against throwing in McLaughlin/Beecher/Harrison

For both: Grz + Freddy/JD + 2025 1st + Lysell + 2 of McLaughlin/Beecher/Harrison. I think thats plenty for 2 guys on expiring contracts that want out. Grz should definitely be included as a replacement for a top 4 LD and Id prefer to keep JD, but would understand if hes included too.

I would be very hesitant to trade away both Lohrei AND Lysell (top 2 prospects) and JD + Grz combined, although if ur getting Hanafin, might make more sense to deal Lohrei over Lysell
