Quoting: Dekes
Most the trades don’t seem to bad, but I can guarantee you no one is giving a 2nd for O’brien. He’s looking like a career AHLer, whatever potential he had was lost years ago.
Maybe a team gives a 4th but no way he gets a better return then what Portillo and mcbain returned when they actually had NHL potential
Its a compensatory pick, not a trade, I just picked ARZ as the placeholder....the league has already announced that PHI will get the 17th or 19th pick in the 2024 draft as compensation.
WASH was rumoured to need a top 6 winger, Mantha has been such a disappointment, that a healthy Atkinson is an upgrade, I forgot to retain third/half of Atkinson, which is why the 2nd is going back to PHI, because WASH is getting the POSSIBLY better production of Atkinson at 50%.
As far as Mete that was just to move a contract, but Seeler probably gets 2 FUTURE 5ths no problem following his 22-23 year.
The CBS deal: Bemstrom is extra/odd man out in CBS and Sandstrom is the same in PHI, so those two offset each other, really its a 2024 1st for Boqvist and a 5th in 2024 and a 2026 2nd (THREE drafts away). CBS has too many RD, and while Boqvist probably isnt the one to be moved at just 22 yrs old, he probably is worth a 2nd and might not get the icetime in CBS. For PHI they can see what Boqvist can become and bring in a LW/RW with some upside.
