In Conroy We Trust
Main idea is to give Calgary futures, Edmonton to call up Broberg for full time nhl ice time, and Boston to lock up their top 4 long term with a guy that would no doubt sign an 8 year deal at 7-7.5m.
To EDM
Forbort - 3m
DeBrusk - 1.5m (25% (1m) retained by BOS, 50% (1.5m) by CGY)
To BOS
Hanifin (1 x 4.95m)
Duehr (2 x 800k)
2026 4th (EDM)
To CGY:
2025 1st (BOS)
Lysell
*Conditional 2024 1st* (EDM makes Conf. Finals, if not, 2024 2nd and 2025 3rd to CGY)
Holloway
Kulak/Ceci
Why Edmonton: Forbort and DeBrusk expire this season. Could probably sign DeBrusk at the same if not lower cap hit of 4m long term, Kulak/Ceci cap is cleared for future seasons with Forbort replacing them and expiring. Clears the path for Broberg to grab a top 4 spot with Nurse / Bouchard / Ekholm.
Why Boston: Hanifin is locked up long term, and I’m a firm believer he could take over H. Lindholm as the top pairing LD with McAvoy. If not, arguably the best #3 D in the league with a reliable D partner in Carlo.
Why Calgary: Getting younger prospects and picks. Hanifin is a great player and a bad loss, but Kulak/Ceci is a better stopgap while we let our D in the minors continue to grow. Holloway is a good prospect to grab, has some C time and hopefully can play C. If not, another great winger prospect for the Flames with a lot of promise.
Am I off in the valuations? I tried to put an emphasis on cap as the main driving factor in the valuations.
