I don't see how this trade plays out in the way of a "hockey trade"

The teams Chucky would want to sign long-term with are teams that are contenders (so they don't want to subtract much from their active roster) or are entering a contending window (who don't want to subtract much from their active roster).

Best outcome in my eyes is to target teams like Ottawa and New Jersey. Teams who have a recent history of picking near the top but are now looking to contend. Perhaps NYR fits into that as well (Kaako?).

Hopefully at the end of the day we're talking about a top-prospect (Sanderson? Holtz?), a 1st round pick, and some more...
