I wouldn't trade that much for Point and I wouldn't take so little for Tkachuk.

If I'm trading Tkachuk any deal with St Louis would have to start with Thomas not Kyrou. Plus a first and at least one more player, pick or prospect. But before trading Matthew anywhere I'd check with NJ to find out if he'd be worth the 2nd OA + a player like Zacha or Sharangovich and something else to them.

The free agent signings would be fine, especially Forsberg and Gudbranson. Chiarot would ok too but if Zadorov can be signed for less than Chiarot I'd rather just resign Z. Zadorov had a poor start in Calgary but he was playing a lot better by the end of the year and he's 4 years younger (27 vs 31).

@moxnix if they traded Tkachuk to jersey then I’d wanna see that 2ND OVR + Alexander Holtz and maybe Ty Smith coming back

Holtz would be fine, they can keep smith.

Good value on trades.
I don’t see why TBL should give up Point or why Calgary should give up Matty. They’re both contender teams and should keep the stars.

Apparently the offer to Gaudreau is 8.5 mil/ yr for 8 years for 68 million in total.

A team trading for his rights could give him the same contract and save 1.214 mil/ yr over what it would cost to give him the same total money on a 7 year contract.
