If this was reversed, no chance the Flames who make this deal,

My guess, when the trade occurs, its likely similar to Lindholm.

Player, B level prospect, draft pick
Sure, but there’s no points for realism awarded.

Dallas is looking at Marner, their window (with the majority of their contracts) is right now. They’re a contender. They need $12M in cap space (let’s say).

Give them a 2/3 prime-aged D who improves their backend right NOW at 50% (about 2M).

We also take on a cap dump, say Dumba at 3M + whatever.

In return, we get a second line center who MAYBE could be 1st line, fits our window better than he fits theirs, and gives them a total cap savings of around 10-12M.

Really we’re giving them a gift here. They should say thank you.

Maybe if they want to take on extra cap they can have Zary.

Andersson/Zary/Marner for Johnston/Dumba? Preeeeetty good. You’re welcome Dallas.
