Sabres- Cozens, Peterka, 1st, pick/prospect: Intriguing. If that pick/prospect were Ostlund or Kulich, then that would be hard to turn down. Three really good future pieces and a lottery selection in 2023? Tough to beat.

Wings- Vrana, Veleno, Wallinder, 1st: Not much interest.

Blues- Kyrou, Krug, 1st: Need more to be competitive. The 1st s going to be a late 1st rounder. Add in Neighbors and this would be really tempting.

Leafs- Nylander, Holl/Sandin/Pick: Need way more.

Jets- Scheifele, Heinola, Vesalainen, 1st: Not much interest.

Penguins- Legare/Poulin/Pickering (pick 2), 1st, 1st: Not a strong offer.

Isles- Beauvillier, Wahlstrom, Raty, 1st, 2nd: Interesting proposal here. Two immediate pieces then three futures.

Canes- Teravainen, Necas, 1st, 1st/2nd, prospect: Another very interesting proposal that addresses the immediate need and the future. Picks are going to be lower in the 1st round, so that must be taken into consideration.

Devils- Bratt? (Point of contention) or Yegor + Holtz + 1st: Another offer that is a great start and close to what I would expect. I would prefer that it be Mercer over Sharangovich, but Holtz and 1st would be pretty good building blocks.

Rangers- Kakko, Lindgren, 1st, 1st: Not sure what to think here. Not a Kakko fan at all. Would hope we could do better.

Bruins- DeBrusk, Lysell, 1st, 1st: Meh?

Ducks- Zellweger, Perreault, Comtois, 1st: Could do better from them. They're offering up a whole bunch of their second best and hoping that gets it done. Would need to have a stud in return. I'd target McTavish and go from there.

Habs- Suzuki/Caufield, Barron/Guhle, 1st: Not enough.

I would suggest that we the Canes, Sabres and Devils have the best offers on the table from those and the Flames should be good with either of those. The Blues and the Islanders worthy of listening to.
The Habs one if it is Suzuki is not a terrible offer. Suzuki is a 22 year old center signed for another 8 years and has had 3 NHL seasons where he has had 0.58 PPG, 0.73 PPG and 0.74 PPG and as best I understand not bad in the defensive zone for a young center. Barron does not interest me much, but Guhle could be an interesting piece, good skater who is physical. The first rounder for the Habs is likely a lottery pick this year.

Suzuki being that young and signed longterm would be interesting to me. I suspect he gets better, likely topping out with a few years above a PPG.
