Seems to if you want to make a “hockey trade” the best plan is to do it in two parts. Draft capital is cheap to acquire at the deadline and is worth more at the draft.

As has been said, the deals from contenders seem hot right now. But there are only so many of those. In the summer there will be over half the teams wanting to improve their on ice team for the upcoming season. even some of these contenders may have discovered that they actually needed a Lindholm or Zadorov or Toffoli during the POs and pay a good price for that one piece. And 2023 draft positions will be crystalized so there are fewer guesses.
