Because the owner's wife, who runs the team and knows nothing about hockey, has to okay the trade and her decision making is based on how cute she thinks the player is.

Exactly, even if we didn’t necessarily need the player or position, and would flip as middleman

Flames are also not moving Bahl. They like him. Are going to sign him to term.

Sometimes it is, just on the wrong side of it.

Or Bahl was never on the table because without him, the Flames need two top 4 LD?

Kesselring was a need for Buffalo cause he is RD.

Simashev may be en route so they might not.

Yeah it’s as simple as this
We talk about equivalent packages but it’s not like the players are just swappable

Maybe teams didn’t want to pay what he was asking contract wise

Let’s see the contract as it may make it more obvious why the return was what it was

This is a good thing, particularly next season.

…28 goal scorers are effectively $8M players now.

……Huberdeau’s contract is correcting with time.

Sure, but Doan is already a pretty good bottom-six NHLer at age 23 and I think he has all the tools to follow a Marcus Foligno trajectory. That'd be a really nice outcome for Battaglia, even if not the best possible one.

Kesselring has played top-four minutes in Utah/AZ at points over the last two seasons and done very well. His ice time decreased last year after Marino and Durzi returned from injury but his results were strong across the board.
