Sujet: Rebuild due to boredom
I think there is way too much substance in that Columbus trade. I bet the only thing they are interested in is Lindholm after their offseason. He would have to come at a reasonable dollar amount as well but he could be a nice fit reuniting with Johnny.
I personally think the best for Hanifin is Florida, but I don't know if they would be willing to give up the assets to acquire him. Samoskevich would be a great pick up for Calgary if they were willing to trade him for Hanifin or maybe a deal with Reinhart. Even then the Panthers just signed most of their left side so I don't see them instantly trading them unless they felt Forsling. Most other teams are pretty set on their top 4, aren't looking to add cause they are rebuilding or don't have the cap space/ assets for Hanifin.
Vladar I don't think holds any value to any team.
I think the only way Detroit considers something like that now is if it's Chiarot going the other way. Maatta was just extended, played very well and is liked in Detroit. I wouldn't support trading him for anything other than a huge win of a deal. Suter and Petry could be the oldest pairing in the NHL though lol. For value aspect, taking on Suter alone probably takes the second. If you look at the Petry trade, trade clause likely only waiving for Detroit, 35 and two years left. We paid a late fourth and a player who was expected to play in Europe this season for Petry at 2.3M to fill a position we actually had some what vacant. There is no vacant position, unless you create one by adding it to your trade, even then still 4 LHD on the roster. Full NMC so he decides where to go. Would probably cost more with Maatta since there is no desire to move him but could maybe save the pick and take Chiarot?

I said alot more here than I was planning. I guess that's what happens when you do this half asleep in bed.

Sujet: The center they should go for
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Perhaps.

My suggestion would be pulling a 2015 again. One year retool to stockpile on things.

That core is not good enough and I think they know it too. I would take the pending UFAs they have and turn them into prospect/draft capital later down the line and hope they fall into the bottom-10 - that way they can keep their 2024 1st and get a good prospect.

After that, full send on the UFA market to bring in a proper 1C for 2024-25, whether it's Lindholm, Scheifele, Stamkos...there's plenty of better options in there than there is now, and now that their core is renewing anyway with Bergeron/Krejci retiring they got time to build again.

Selling DeBrusk, Ullmark, Grzelcyk for draft capital could end up being extremely valuable for them, as long as they don't f*ck up with the drafting again, similar to how they did in 2015.</div></div>

That’s a great plan. Suck for this year and then become competitive again in 24-25

Sujet: (DET/MTL) - Lindström, 2025 4th (DET) for Petry
People over valued Petry. There is no cap space to go around. He also has term. Had they made the three way trade back at the draft, maybe Montreal might have been able to create a better market for Petry, but anybody who thought he was anything short of a negative value asset has not been paying attention to how the last two off seasons have worked. Especially later in the season when teams reach their choke points with the cap.

You also have to consider that they took on Casey DeSmith's contract. I assume if there was a market for him, the Penguins would have moved him earlier. I could be wrong, but I assume he is dead cap. They gave up Pitlick, but he was able to have his entire cap hit buried. DeSmith's cap hit is 675k.

Mike Hoffman's buyout would have cost them 1.66M x 2 years. They are now on the hook for 2.34M for 2 years. So this three way trade cost them about 680k per for 2 seasons (1.368M of dead cap) and a retention spot for 2 seasons. Retention spots are generally worth a mid or late round pick at the deadline. Add in the 675k of additional dead cap that DeSmith will cost them if they cannot find a home for him (without cap considerations), and Montreal gave up nearly 2M in cap space for a 2nd two years from now (basically the equivalent of a current year 3rd), and a B or C type prospect in Legare. Lindstrom from Detroit is a fringe NHL defender.

The above is not bad business by any means, but it isn't the home run that some of the analysts made out Montreal's haul in the Karlsson trade to be. I assume that most people who were high on Montreal's return thought that Petry was worth way more than he ended up going for.

Sujet: Short term retool
Unless Byfield takes a decent step forward this season I'm not sure LA really has the depth to lose Arvidsson and without moving an Arvi or a collection of smaller cap hits like Grundstrom, Liotta, etc (which also erodes their depth) it'd probably be pretty tough for them to fit Ullmark, do agree though that LA needs to upgrade their goaltending, what a confusing offseason they had. There probably is a deal to be had between the B's and LA but it needs some reworking imo.

I don't think thats a move that interests Detroit at all, they really like Maata and Debrusk might be worth a bit more then that.
Arizona can use all the D upgrades they can get but not sure they're parting with 2nds for UFAs just yet. Guess the Forbort trade could make some sense if Foote is still considered to have some upside but if not the B's probably prefer a 3rd or 4th for Forbort which they could easily get at the TDL for him.

If the Bruins did tear it down a bit they should just keep Zboril and give him a big opportunity to sink or swim, at this point I think that'd be a better course of action then grabbing another meh pick that likely amounts to nothing.
