Thanks! So do re EDM and TOR packages need to come down in value for an OEL deal or do the DAL, NYI, and MTL packages need to come up in value for OEL?
I think if OEL were on a nice extension, you can get the Leafs and Oilers package (depending on hit and term). In fact, you can probably add in Buffalo there as well- they might be more desperate for a D than any team right now, and they would probably be willing to beat the EDM package (they really need more secondary scoring right now more than anything, though they could use blue-line help as well).
I don't think you'd necessarily take out parts in the Oilers, Leafs deal. OEL, if you think of him as a legitimate #1D type (even factoring some recency and somewhat underwhelming play recently) and the fact he's 2 years from a UFA payday....deserves that package IMO.
Instead, I think Arizona needs to add. For the Leafs, maybe a pick swap (our 1st for your 2nd, if it ends up being #32 or something- then the Leafs might have to add their 3rd or a prospect) and future considerations- like taking on Marleau's cap hit on the 3rd year after his signing bonus, or Martin's cap hit for the last ~year of his deal 2.5m AAV. Something around those lines...basically something the Yotes can easily slot in with all their ELC guys, their cap situation, and where they are as a organization.
Montreal's package is adequate if they pick high in this year's draft or add in Poehling instead of Juulsen, IMO. I think if it's close to the lottery and they add in Poehling, the package is closer to fair value.
Dallas needs to include Heiskanen and remove a few parts, it can be Heiskanen alone and a 1st, maybe less than a 1st but either way- Heiskanen needs to be in the package- they don't really have much young closer to high-end/well-tracking prospects to offer.
Not sure with NYI, it looks more like a quantity for quality deal, at least for me. They need to add in one high-end young piece and I'm not sure Bellows is that guys, they didn't pick this year......Dal Colle isn't tracking well......they wouldn't move Barzal. They'd probably have to supplement with 2 1st's and work around it.
If your adding in Buffalo into the mix. I'd probably want a framework of Mittelstadt or Reinhart ++.
