Can imagine anything from that deal gets STL to move Kyrou.

they'll be mid still

Nope. Nothing you have will land Kyrou

If Rakell was a free agent would he get $5Mx4? I wouldn't want the Kings to pay that.

Long term cap clearing of a guy on the worst year of his career is the definition of a panic move. Clearing cap by doing so with 2 of our top 4 goal scorers is a very dumb idea as well, so props to you i guess.

While I like dumping Campbell and Ceci, Graves is of no use to us. He plays the left side which is already blocked up by Nurse, Ekholm and Kulak. We would need a top-4 RD coming back for this trade to work

Edmonton declines without a 2nd thought. Ceci >> Graves, they can buyout Campbell without giving up a single asset.

Los Angeles wouldn't pick up Rickard Rakell off waivers. You could buy him out and we wouldn't sign him for $1 million, let alone pay him $5 million.

Nope

kings and blues decline immediately

You're not even trying. Cap clearing... oi vey.

Can you explain to me why the Blues would want to "get out of the Kyrou deal"? Also, Saad is still quite valuable as a 3rd line guy who can score 25-ish goals, no reason to move him unless there is a decent return.

Also: another Pens fan who wants to dump Acciari on the Blues. Again: he has no value to us and we can get a better and cheaper UFA forward in the offseason. Only way we're taking him if you pay us for doing so.

Personally with Sundqvists injury I would take Acciari at virtually no cost. Would probably pay a late round pick for him. Prior to that I'd agree it doesn't make much sense. Hoping for a UFA contract to be a better acquisition is like buying a lottery ticket, would avoid it if possible.
