My trade with Arizona
Chychrun
Crouse
2nd 24
2nd 25
conditional 2nd pick in 24 or 25 tied to where the BUF firsts end up being like if they are 6-12 range but picks are top 5 protected
AZ trades Olofsson, BUF retains 50%.
for
Joker
Bryson
Olofsson
PHL 2nd 23
BUF 1st in 24
BUF 1st in 25
secondary prospects ( not 1st rounders)
thr conditional pick(s) is tied to expected drsft position of the 1st. AZ has 5 2nds in each draft in 24 and 25 drafts. if the pick is playoffs it’s a middle round pick, if it’s higher then an additional pick.
other conditions tied to chychrun health in regard to these picks.
in 24…..
if he misses half the season thr pick is BUF 2nd. If he plays 42-55 games it’s playoff protected. If he plays 55+ it’s top 12 protected. If it’s 6-12 buffalo can give the 1st and take the best 2nd AZ has in 24.
I'll bite.
Arizona has not indicated that Crouse is for sale nor have there been any leaks, I could be wrong though.
Arizona has stated they do not want to take salary back so Joker, Bryson and Olofsson probably wouldn't move.
Joker Bryson and Olofsson provide nothing to Arizona but hurdles.
You want to tie conditions to the Arizona 2nds lol
Arizona's ask has been two first round picks and a top prospect. You suffice the two first round picks (albeit they will be in 2 and 3 years from now) but then try to fill out the rest with "secondary prospects (not 1st rounders)" which spits into the wind of the ask.
My guess is that Arizona is asking for:
2023 1st (probably ok with a top 5 protection)
2024 1st
Kulich/Savoie/Ostlund/ (maybe Rosen?)
And I imagine kevin is offering:
2023 1st (probably ok with a top 5 protection)
2023 2nd Buffalo
Kisakov/Poltapov
Portillo
Someone has to blink
Vancouver just traded futures for a 25 year old RHD.
The Canucks can do it but we can’t.
I'm glad they didn't, hasn't Hronek been atrocious?
