honestly, the Hawks would do it for a 3rd alone is my guess

Even at half retained? I’ve always been pro-Beauvillier and I think he’d be a great get.

Im not sure how much longer Beauvilier is supposed to be on IR for, but we picked him up for a 5th rounder so i'd assume if we could pull a 2nd or 3rd back for retaining on him Davidson would be pretty alright with that

Yes, as the Hawks aren't poised to make a lot of moves this TDL

If you upgrade those picks, the Jackets might even take 50% retainage. I don't know the Rangers prospect pool as well as I should, but would you happen to have any interest in moving someone like Rempe instead of Henriksson? The Jackets have way too many undersized forwards.

It is assumed that the insane amount of injuries CHI has endured this year has made the players that would've originally been on the trade block less tradable. They were poised to leverage cap space, retention slots, and picks. But it looks like CHI won't do much, and if they do make any trades they should be pretty minimal.

Just make it a third for roslovic half retained

I think the cost for one year of retention at $2M is about a 2nd round pick. Maybe Davidson'd be willing to make that trade for just a 2nd, but I think there'd be an additional 3rd or 4th in '25 or '26 thrown in.

Which seems like a lot for Beauvillier, I know! But it also eats up their second retention slot. If they were to also move someone like Murphy, that would leave no slots to take on a chunk of a big salary as a 3rd-party to a deal.

You can keep all the prospects and have him half-retained for a 3rd. He's not a fit with us, and him being moved at the deadline is one of the worst-kept secrets in hockey. We've got so many other mid-tier prospects we'd rather just have slightly better draft capital.

Their retention slots are probably less important this year than originally anticipated, but any retention that goes beyond the current season will still be expensive. Luckily, Beauvillier expires at the end of the season and he is a rental. So, yeah, CHI probably doesn't have much use for their retention slots this year unless something too good to pass up falls into their lap.
