Makes sense to start moving guys who may be higher injury risk first.
I kind of think Vladar is next to go but whoever reported he would fetch at least a second seems implausible. At least not in this year’s draft.

Yes, it always seemed to me that they’d trade some now and some at the TDL. I actually thought Toffoli would be a TDL guy but that was before his trade request.
Tanev is an injury risk. But it’s for that reason I think teams won’t want him until the TDL. Who wants to trade assets and then have an injured guy a week in? But if he’s healthy at the TDL then he’s exactly what a contending team wants.
