OEL is going to cost $8-$10M per in 2019 which again makes your Gaudreau comparison completely bunk.

Not really it's not like Gaudreau isn't getting paid well, it's a good deal but OEL is worth more and any team trading for him is getting assurances he's re-signing imo
But it was more just the player value of the two
People like to piece together details of elite players they want and not give up anything of real value
Right now
Brodie has played like an average to below average 2nd pairing d man for 2 years?
Bennett is months away from 'bust' getting mentioned beside his name, he doesn't have any real value outside maybe a draft pick from someone who thinks they can turn him around. Over their last 82 games he's getting outscored by Jake Virtanen.....
Frolik is a good 2 way 2nd line winger, but with no real scoring upside past 40-45 points at this point, who has scored more than 15 goals twice in 8 seasons
How that is getting a number 1 d man who can play 25 minutes a night, qb a pp and play pk?
