Would you guys pay 2024 2nd to trade Hoffman to a cap floor team like Arizona or Anaheim?
No, way too much. Maybe a 5th.
I'd prefer to get an overpriced vet D for 1-2 years and convert one position to another.
As for PLD - What about Dvorak, 2023 FLA 1st, RHP & Ylonen?
Too much.
I'm not trading a 1st round pick in a package for Dubois, where we also include a roster player with value like Suzuki, Caufield, Dvorak, Anderson, Edmundson, Dach, Evans or Dadonov (TDL value in his case)
If they must get a first, then it is
the later of our two 2023 firsts, AND
one of Armia or Hoffman or Gallagher (unlikely due to NTC)
plus optionally (max 2)
a B prospect (excludes top 30 picks, Harris, Hutson, Farrell, Roy, Dobes)
a bottom six player like Pezzetta, Ylonen or RHP
