That's essentially three 1sts and granlund.

I agree with Sofa GM that the return I proposed seems underwhelming and this trade looks much more reasonable under normal circumstances. Any other year and I think this trade return is more likely. But all we have heard is that the offers have been very underwhelming and we have seen good players (for example, Taylor Hall and Tyler Toffoli) traded for very little return. That is why my trade proposal is so conservative. I might have gone too far in favouring the trade to the Penguins though.
My trade proposal still returns their top prospect (Yager) who, as you said, would likely be a top ten pick in other drafts. And I do think the flames would have to overpay to convince Pittsburgh to trade him. Their prospect cupboards are pretty bare so trading him is a very big “all in” move for them. It is essentially two firsts, a second and granlund.
