-I'll leave the argument on value for this trade to those who want to have it and just say Edmonton couldn't do this trade because of the cap - McDavid & Draisaitl: $21M AAV; Matthews+Marner+Brodie: $26.5M, with the Oilers currently only having $5.6M in space *and* needing to extend Evan Bouchard.
-Again, no need to talk about the value. Chicago has Corey Perry, Nick Foligno, and Taylor Hall on hand as veteran mentors for Conor Bedard. They're not going to pay premium assets for the ass end of Tavares' contract.
-I can see the argument that Nylander and Guentzel are similarly valued players; this would come down to how the Pens feel about their odds of extending Guentzel, and if they think giving up a 2nd/3rd for Steeves/Robertson/4th is fair value. I'd pass if I was the Pens, but that's just me.
