I don't think it works that way.

Ludicrous speed, GO!
From an Oiler POV, I'd offer up Samorukov and a late mid round pick.
Although I see Samo growing into the exact same type of player in about 2 or 3 seasons, I'd rather have the Oil have Nurse and Soucy locked in and ready to play big minutes, while breaking in Broberg vs. trying to get Broberg and Samo up to speed NHL at the same time.
Add in the fact he's a local kid, and it's an easy fit.

I'd rather keep Soucy around till next season unless it was a deal I couldn't pass up. Hakstol is seriously under-utilizing him.
None of those players are worth Holloway or Broberg or Bourgault. That is absurd.
If you want all 3 of those Kraken players then yes it'll cost something really good. Seattle has no reason to trade 3 contributing pieces for lesser players or picks.
Driedger isn't doing much but being an overpaid backup. I don't know if he is the right guy for Edmonton considering their defensive woes.
I have time for Soucy and Appleton for sure, but even those two together don't land you anyone's top prospects. Just my opinion though.

Will pass. He is signed at only 2.75M for one more year and expecting the Kraken to retain on that is not practical for us just to get a 2nd. A late one at that. Do keep in mind that there is little interest or need for us to move Soucy.
Heck, I value Soucy high enough that I wouldn't move him for a 2nd even without retention. You want us to retain 50% on him, we will want a 1st round pick.

If you're trying to throw Ritchie in the deal there has to be an add to it. I think Seattle would probably prefer to retain on Soucy than to take Ritchie back unless the add is worth it, they'll also want an add for retaining but it would be less than taking back that contract.

Is Seattle trying to compete next 2 years if not perhaps they have a good laugh at Nemeth and a 2nd for him.

Take our roster outcasts for the player we want. We’ll add in a mid round pick because we think that’s the tipping point. Gotta love this place.Stand firm Kraken fans

Soucy on his own should net us a early to mid 2nd round pick. Taking on Nick Ritchie and his contract to bump that up to a late 1st round pick is too rich for my blood.
I would rather move Soucy on his own or just hold-off for a better return. I am not opposed to keeping Soucy for next season as well and maybe just moving at the TDL then.

Seattle might be better served to actually take Ritchie and try to revitalize him, young enough to carry forward or liquidate again if he has a good successful season.
Seattle has a lot of UFA and guys they're likely to sell anyway and will need to field some NHLers.

Oh. Don't get me wrong. I have no issue with taking on Ritchie for the exact same reasons as you pointed out. But, I am not sure getting him in the return for Soucy is in the best interests of the Kraken.
