I personally wouldn’t do any of those FA signings, definitely not Tarasenko, he is not even close to a $9m player. Jost and Blankenburg… whatever, you could bury them in the minors for those cap hits.
That Vlasic contract could be a bargain in a couple of years.
As for the trades; Detroit gets FC that’s it, everyone knew that was a ridiculous contract to offer Holl before the ink was even dry.
Puckpedia values the cost of moving Campbell’s contract at the 14th pick of the 1st round. Since Edmonton’s pick is much later, that offer doesn’t get it done. Switch out Lachance for either Holloway or Akey and switch the 2026 5th round pick for a 2024 2nd round pick.
Pittsburgh may be able to find someone to take Smith’s contract for free as some are suggesting in the comments but I highly doubt it will be the Hawks. You can’t ignore Davidson’s history which clearly illustrates draft compensation will accompany Smith to Chicago. The offer above may get it done but I think it will require a 2nd round pick.
