I think the McCabe trade is a good comparable, as both McCabe and Borgen fall into a similar tier of defenseman: primarily defensive guys who can slot in on a good team's shutdown second pairing, but on a bonafide cup contender would fit better as above average third pairing guys.

The difficulty then is trying to parse out what aspects of the trade package Toronto sent to Chicago were for McCabe and what aspects were for Lafferty. I think the second rounder sufficed for Lafferty and the two fifths given the asking price for Lafferty that was floating around at the time (a second round pick). That leaves Anderson, Gogolev, and first rounder for McCabe at a cap hit a bit less than what Borgen is making right now. Considering that McCabe had three years left on his deal while Borgen has one, while Borgen is a RHD while McCabe is a LHD, I think a first round pick would be about what Borgen would garner on the hypothetical trade market.

It is important to note that compared to Chicago, Seattle is much closer to contending, so they're much less inclined to move Borgen than Chicago was to move McCabe. The Kraken also seem to value Borgen quite highly, as they were patient with him after selecting him in the expansion draft, gave him his first real crack at the NHL, and have steadily entrusted him with a larger role. Honestly, I don't see the Kraken trading Borgen anytime soon unless they get an offer too good to refuse.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NorthernLeafsFan05</b></div><div>Robertson's inclusion was to supplement the use of our first (plus the other 3rd) based solely on the reports that Treliving wants to keep our 1st. The fact the Leafs are so adamant on keeping the 1st tells me Wes Clark found someone he really likes.

Robertson is a guy I'd like to keep, but the isn't used properly here and a team like Seattle would get a lot out of him. I'd be willing to trade the 1st instead of Robertson, but it doesn't seem like that's the plan at the moment</div></div>

Robertson's a quality secondary piece, but I don't think he has the trade value to the point where him plus a third round pick in 2025/26 equals a first round pick. In my mind it would hypothetically take something like Niemelä, Robertson, and first and third round picks to get the Kraken to seriously listen.

I will say that the odds of Larsson being dealt anytime soon are basically zero, it's been reported Seattle isn't open to moving him and from my POV there are just too many reasons for them to keep him and not enough for them to trade him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoxNix</b></div><div>Not for that he doesn't. Goyette is ok but nothing special and the rest is very underwhelming for a top pair defenseman. Make it this year's 1st instead of 2nd and Calgary considers it. Or make it Larsson + Shane Wright and Calgary accepts.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FlamestoWin</b></div><div>Horribly bad for Flames. Treliving isn’t in Calgary anymore.</div></div>

Given their respective contract situations and handedness, along with the fact that Hanifin is apparently destined for the open market this summer, I'd say Larsson has at least the same trade value as Hanifin at the moment. That being said, I think Calgary would want to aim younger in a Hanifin trade return.

In all likelihood, Seattle will not be trading Larsson anytime soon. Even if they end up selling at the deadline this year, they will be looking to reload for a return to contention next season. Larsson plays a huge role on the Kraken currently and would continue to do so next year as well. For that reason, I believe the Kraken will be VERY reluctant to move him, and wouldn't consider doing so barring a package too good to refuse. Of the trade pieces you've listed, only Niemelä, Robertson, and the first round pick would be higher value assets in my opinion. If you packaged all three of them together with maybe a third round pick as well, that might be a fair offer for Larsson in a vacuum (depending on how the Kraken feel about Niemelä and Robertson). However, that offer may get beat by other interested teams should Larsson hypothetically end up on the trade block.
