Playoff teams like to keep guys like those around.
Rangers: 2024 1st round pick + Gabe Perrault
Avalanche: 2024 1st round pick + Callum Ritchie
Stars: 2024 1st round pick + 2024 2nd round pick + Christian Kyrou
Jets: 2024 1st round pick + 2024 2nd round pick + Brad Lambert
The Rangers and Avalanche prospects that I’m putting into these trades are a higher level prospect IMO than the ones I’m putting in from Dallas and Winnipeg so I don’t include a 2nd round pick with them. For each of these prospects, I just looked at the NHL.com top five prospect rankings within each organization. I picked either the 4th or 5th-ranked top prospect and made sure they weren’t a player projected to make their team this season. Some of these prospects might still be too elite though to be considered in a trade for a Lindholm rental.

I appreciate that you put some rationale in there but I think that we're unlikely to get what is basically the equivalency of two first round draft picks for our rentals. I mean if the Jet's are willing to give us a 1st round pick and a 20 year old 2022 1st round pick PPG AHL'er who at one time had juice to be #1 OA (before becoming a faller) then they can keep the 2nd round pick and Conroy should yell "Start the Car!"
