1st + 2nd for Ristolainen….barf
The Jones trade / contract … not a chance in hell I want to make that move
Acquire either the Atkinson or Voracek contracts…no thanks
The crazy Vancouver deal…I really like Garland but don’t want any part of OEL’s contract or to give up a 1st and 2nd for that honor.
The Buchnevich deal is the one that I would have been okay with being involved in. 2nd + Blais isn’t a bad price to pay for what Buchnevich brings at all.
Bean would have been okay too but we already have Hanifin, Valimaki, Kylington, and Mackey as younger LH dmen in the org.
The real miss (and it’s tough to say if it’s a miss or not) could be not moving Monahan. The market seemed like it was good to sell off a piece this weekend. But tough to say without knowing what actual offers are.

1a. The goalie involved is probably not worth 25% of what Wolf is worth. Maybe Chechelev.
1b. Florida's 1st was protected. As would Calgary's.
For me, the deal would be scary because Reinhart can be a UFA soon if he wants to be.
That would be my main reservation. It could an expensive rental.
2. You would've just been "okay" with this deal? I think Calgarypuck would been crazily overjoyed if the Flames had made this trade for Buchnevich.
Another deal is the Nedeljkovic one. At that cost and cap hit, despite having Markstrom, I would've offered more than that in a heartbeat.
But the rest of the post I agree with. And yes, with so many bad moves by the Oilers, Canucks, Philadelphia, Minnesota (buyouts), etc. We can't complain too much.
