I don’t believe LA gets off Dubois and gets Ullmark without giving up that 2024 first, but I think it might require that 2026 2nd instead of the 2024 third going back to then.

While I like Merkulov and feel he’s better than a lot of their center prospects at Ontario, not sure they’d view him as enough in the value equation.

The general response you are going to get is this is vomit inducing. I question how PLD handles Boston and the intensity of the fan base, but I acknowledge his talent. He is a great skater for his size.

I’d rather go after Lindholm

PLD is interesting but worries me that it is work ethic problem. I'd pass on Edmunson and look at Ian Cole or Brendan Dillion should be similar price.

personally I like the idea of Dillon as well if he'd come here for a short term low money deal.
