I think they will trade down, and I think that they would value extra assets to make trades. Misa is more valuable to other teams than he is to SJ, but they still could use a high-end prospect.
I think Martone or Eklund makes sense to SJ. I could see SJ trading down to the 6 or 7 range too, assuming a team will pay up a bit. I could see any of Boston, Philly or Seattle be all over #2. If SJ traded down to that range and added assets that they can flip for players, that is their best move.
Boston needs a top center, has extra picks and always is a top destination for players so they can afford to pay knowing they get players in free agency.

8 years versus 7 from another team, plus no tax, is worth a lot of money to a 28 year old. This is a retirement contract.
Calgary would probably have to offer almost 10M x7 to match the total in pocket dollars.

I'm curious about taking on Seguin for two years when the Flames cap isn't really in danger of having him on it. What would the value be to Dallas to clear up all 9m of his contract? A 1st and Bourque?

That's an interesting prospect. Has there been any reports of Dallas wanting to dump Seguin?

He has a full NMC. Not sure about the value, but I wouldn't waive in Seguin's shoes.

That is interesting to me too... if Dallas needs cap space, well we could have room for Seguin and his bloated contract. Would want to take on a 1st for doing so, of course; similar to the Monahan deal.

Seguin is owed close to $20M. No one takes that on, and I doubt he waives anyway.

Would never say never. $10M/year for only two years, not something Calgary couldn't consider to receive other additional (and valuable) assets in a larger trade - a 2027 1st, Robertson, Bourque, etc. Players waive NTC's all the time too if they're not wanted. Not saying he'd do it for Calgary, but it's not a bad idea in overall discussion.

Why would Dallas make this move? They’d be effectively clearing cap space, sure. But adding in who I’m assuming they view as his replacement makes no sense.

Andersson trade isn't happening until Ekblad signs, IMO.

It is also better for the Flames to wait for Ekblad to be off the board as it will leave Andersson as the best/only top pair RD available this off season and next. At that point Conroy will be able to demand more for Andersson.
Having said that, the list of teams that need Ekblad/Andersson are longer than the list of players available.
Sportsnet's list: Sabres, 'Canes, Leafs, Stars, Canadiens
Daily Faceoff's list: 'Canes, Blue Jackets, Stars, Red Wings, Senators, Flyers
Flames Nation: Kings, Senators, Blues, Capitals, Jets
None of those lists include the Sharks but I think Grier is going to be aggressive in upgrading his top D pair this offseason as everything else is in place.

#18 would be a good pick for the Sharks. If their priority right now is RD then #18 is close to where Hensler is expected to go and he is the second best RD in the draft. It would probably work better if the Flames could turn 18+32 into 10 or 11 so that the Sharks could go after Mrtka (top RD in the draft).
If the Sharks offered a late 1st as a centerpiece to the Flames then I would expect that would end the conversation as 4 other teams would be able to beat that offer in order to get Andersson.
At that point you have to wonder how badly the Sharks want to get out of the basement. If they cannot upgrade their D group then they are likely going to blow another season of Celebrini and Askarov will get absolutely shelled in his rookie season. I don't believe Grier is interested in a 4th basement season and will be making moves this summer to fix his D situation with the hopes that it pushes the Sharks back into the playoff conversation. (He definitely isn't shy about making moves)
If you put yourself in Grier's shoes, there are not a lot of other options for fixing his D situation. Ekblad, Flames, Pens?? ... not sure who else is selling a top pair D.

Can’t see Seguin waiving to come here? Maybe they could convince him he would have a huge role here but doesn’t make a ton of sense from his perspective with a NMC

I think Calgary would agree from what I’ve heard.
Just not sure they have or want to give what it would take.
Next years first would have to be included

Looking at the Stars cap I think Robertson is definitely getting traded for the highest futures offer available where they take no cap back.
Something around the 4th pick with Utah or the 7th pick with Boston?
1 more year at $7.75M then RFA with 1 year to UFA likely wants a deal bigger than Huberdeaus’s $10.5M per.
Would you have any interest in the Flames chasing a high scoring winger with their cap space and assets? Not the best fit for me but I think Robertson is a hell of a player I just think it is too soon for the Flames to make this type of trade

The cost to get a team take on $20M of unwanted cap is simply too much for Dallas to stomach.
