The whole "he isn't going to be cheap" part is interesting. Another notion on this board. Remember HFboards is where people projected Nate MacKinnon as being better than Crosby by now and that is now laughable at best. Still though, putting up 51pts isn't terrible at all. From the Pens (and of course there would be interest as a Pens fan considering his style of game, his ties to Crosby, etc), I'd think the Maatta + 1st and maybe someone like Wilson would be more than enough, but of course, making that claim here would freak people out with "Not enough!!!"...when it'd probably be.
It could be worse, the Avs could be stuck with the likes of a Sam Bennett or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
Pitt: Mackinnon + Galchenyuk
Col: Sergachev + Guentzel + MTL 1st
MTL: Malkin
I literally can't tell if this is a real post or not. A late first and Olli Freaking Maatta for Nathan Mackinnon?!
Maatta and a first didn't even begin things for Duchene.
Outside of the big 3 and Rielly, I'd gut the Leafs prospect pool for him.
Don't you think the Leafs should be looking for defenceman?

A late first and an injury prone second pairing defencemen (at best) isnt enough for Mackinnon. He probably has more value than Malkin.
Speaking only for the Canes if I were GM, you wouldn't get half of what I offered above for Mac for either Duchene or Landeskog from the Canes. It's Mac or no thanks from us. Mac has shown resilience and talent in spite of this horrible season. Landy has shown steady decline like the previous years and Duchene has shown that he doesn't have the mental fortitude to be "the man" on a team by all but disappearing when the season got bad.
So YOU may be willing to do those trades with the other two forwards, but I doubt any other GMs are willing, which is why you probably still have them.
"It's mac or no thanks." Well no one's actually wanting to part ways with Mac in col, they want to keep him. In order to get something like that from someone, you need to start motivate them. So I guess it's overpay or no thanks.
Ryan Murray + PL Dubois + William Karlsson + Matt Calvert (to make the cap work) + '17 1st Rd Pick
for
MacKinnon
I'd offer Arizona's 2017 1st (before he lottery is even drawn), Minnesota's 2017 1st, and Arizona's 2017 2nd.
That's a top five pick, a late first, and the second pick of the second round.
Pitt: Mackinnon + Galchenyuk
Col: Sergachev + Guentzel + MTL 1st
MTL: Malkin
If it was another draft year like the last few years I'd say that's fair value. Not this year though.
Edler or Tanev + 2017 1st for Mackinnon
Edler and a 1st.... come on man.
Good old fashioned hockey trade? An established, mid 20's, top pairing defencemen as Colorado has been reportedly seeking since TDL day. Think Hampus Lindholm as baseline.
If it's a blue chip prospect defencemen than a really good young roster player is going to have to be moved too. Think Mikhail Sergachev and Alex Galchenyuk as a baseline.
