I would love for this to be true.

I happened to take a look soon after posting mine. A lot of similar ideas here. Love the mock-up.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Propeller09</b></div><div>I do think it's too much for Klefbom. I am not a huge Krug guy, but he has a ton of value, especially to a team like Edmonton. He is Elite offensively and him on their PP would make them scary good.</div></div>
Personally thought GMs elsewhere are going to be in a good position to get a slightly better deal if they know JT is going to Boston. They're going to want max value for helping an opponent get the unconditional top 2 forward lines in the league. Off-loading cap is essential to that. Maybe the picks can be left out to get it done, but they're deep down the center and I think a good GM will take note of that.

Completely fine with this scenario.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Propeller09</b></div><div>Donato should be in top 6 as well...</div></div>
Agreed, but Boston has 4 young wingers competing for essentially 2 spots (less if a guy like Skinner is added.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>Boston is pretty high on Bjork and honestly he might be the B's best prospect that didn't play full time with Boston last year.</div></div>

Agree that Boston is high on Bjork and yes he's got top-6 potential. I'd put him and Donato in a similar bucket, but that's ultimately the problem. Remove the 1st line players and operate under the assumption that JT comes to Boston (the reason for this mock-up) and your left with Bjork, Donato, DeBrusk and Heinen who project/already are 2nd line wingers (or better). And behind them is another 2 or 3 who project as solid 3rd line wingers. A nice problem to have for sure, but one that needs to be managed appropriately. Other GMs know this and I don't see the B's offloading Krejci without giving up one of those players and really that comes down to Bjork or Donato. Thanks for the comment and appreciate the look.

We have to get at least 1 draft pick in return for Seidenberg to replenish what was given up in previous trades. I prefer 2 because he can still play and he would bring leadership to a team in rebuilding. He has won a cup and now he can pass on some experience to someone such as Goligoski. Plus his cap hit will help prevent them from being close to cap floor.</i></div></div>

There is just no way you get that return. I understand trading him to ARI. I've done that in a few of my own builds, but there is no way, from any team, Seids gets more than a 4th rounder. Maybe if the GM that day happens to work in EDM and wants to give up more of his roster for a bag of pucks, then maybe a 3rd.

Knowing that you're going with what you think will happen, I will say that I'd rather see Sweeney throw a little more at Okposo (6.5 for 5) rather than give Eriksson another contract. Yea he played great this past year, but its not like he's loyal to the team and knows the fans aren't huge fans, which can eat away at a guy. Good GMs know to take that into consideration and I think Okposo fits well with what they are trying to do.

I like the BOS/STL deal. I think its fair and would love to see Shatty in Black and Gold. Also think it's pertinent, because with Yandle rights being traded to FLA for 2 picks, FLA is going to try everything to sign him. Always felt that Yandle would have been a nice UFA signing if all trades failed, they need to make a good hockey trade for someone.
