They traded a 50-60 point center for a 1st round pick, a 4th round pick, one very good defensive prospect and another defensive prospect and a current NHL player who is better offensively than the one they traded away and has one year left on his contract.
They traded a 5/6 dman for a 3rd and a 5th.
And they traded a top 4 dman for a 2nd, a former 2nd and a 3rd that could become a 2nd.
Over the summer they traded a 30 goal RW for a 30 goal winger and a 3rd round pick.
I might be missing something but what you get for UFA’s seems pretty good.

It can get you a bunch if quantity, but the jury is still out as how much quality they got.
That’s the nature of rentals.
Trading players with term may get you some actual quality.
Now, the hope is that some of the quantity may get you some quality. But that’s not certain.
