Maybe that would be more palatable for Seattle - but they are still selling a bit low on Wright just to get out from that contract.
I think that tilts the trade a bit too much to the Kraken. The Kraken adding a struggling goalie with a big cap hit should reduce the give from the Flames, not increase it by a 1st. One of the NJD 1st or Pelletier (1st) should come out of the trade or the assets should be downgraded.

I wonder how this could turn into a 3-way trade if the NTC blocks Calgary from taking Grubauer.

Seattle receives Vladar + CGY 2nd
Calgary receives Wright + Unwanted goalie X
Team X receives Grubauer + Avs 2nd (from Calgary)

Thing is, I cannot think of a team that would fit in X. Most teams that would be willing to take Grubauer as a cap dump are likely on his 10 team NTC list. Maybe the Red Wings or Flyers?
