These are some fairly unique assets... Combined with things like being able to retain/take on cap.
Offering up a '25 protected first just isn't going to come close to getting you an Andersson or Weegar.
Part of the premise here are that these 4 teams are desperate AF to make the playoffs next year.
NJ will have a bonafide starting goalie next year.
OTT will not risk giving up a lottery pick for the Dadonov thing.
BUF is the worst team in history in a hockey mad market.
DET will soon need to grapple with firing Yzerman having never making the playoffs with him.
These are desperate times. These teams will take big swings.
