Probably an overpay for Tanev but the important piece is there

I actually wouldn't might that return for Guentzel. He might extend there too.

Derrick who? Doesn't matter a pending UFA with a cap hit of just 775k is irrelevant. The picks alone are enough to get this done though Calgary would ask for the Stars 2024 1st rather than 2026.

Eh... I don't think Dallas would do this, based on a couple of assumptions.

1. Teams rarely trade a 1st AND one of their top prospects for a rental. It's typically one or the other, but not both. So I really don't see a 1st and Bourque going for Guentzel. Particularly as Dallas's weakness is on defense, not top 6 scoring. Mix in the Faksa salary dump, and this has Dallas trading 2x 1st rounds picks, 1x 3rd round pick, and a top prospect to reinforce Dallas's area of strength (forwards) with a rental.

2. The Tanev deal is probably right-ish. Word is Calgary is trying to get a 1st and no one has bit yet. So I'm thinking 1st + 3rd + 4th + depth D is a bit over what we'll see, but probably not by much. I'd expect to see 1st + mid prospect or 2nd + strong prospect/young player, depending on how the market ends up shaking out.
