Well you have to look at what playoff teams need goalies and I just don't see it. Lehner is an upgrade for a lot of teams but I'm not sure he's such an upgrade you could get a first for him unless someone gets injured. Maybe you could trick Edmonton into it.

I would say Carolina would be in the market for Lehner and they have 2 firsts this year. Mrazek isn't exactly setting the world on fire and he wasn't great in the playoffs last year. That's about the only playoff team as of today that I think would be interested.

The only problem with trading a goalie at the TD is you need multiple teams that need to fix their goaltending or the market won't be there. So if Carolina is the only team in real need for a legit starter, we might be lucky to get a 2nd back. Hopefully a few teams are looking (provided Lehner doesn't want to stay).
CH21 mentioned on the last page (for all those cool cats with a 25 post per page limit) about Strome at the deadline. Interesting possibility. The price needs to be right for me to be happy to part with him, but he's as solid a 2C as will likely be available come the TD, he's currently super cheap due to his ELC, and he's still an RFA after this season, so if a team can't re-sign him this summer, they can still trade him and recoup a bunch of assets. At that point, for most playoff teams, you're probably looking at that team's best prospect or a really solid prospect (think Mitchell level) and a 1st, potentially also a 2nd. A lot of potential value in that type of deal.

I wouldnt touch Galchenyuk.
The site isnt letting me link the story, but essentially, Pitt is finding out what Ari and Mtl already knew, that hes not worth the effort.
Understood we have to take back gally for cap purposes. But the hawks aren't going to trade saad for a prospect and a 3rd pick.
My guess is the initial ask would be a first and prospect. Then negotiate from there and see where it ends up.
for me i think that is truly a fair trade except maybe getting a 2nd instead of a 3rd.
correction, i like the idea of the prospect without any restrictions. they have several good defensive prospects that can really help the team going forward.

I think the reality is Galchenyuk is to make the contract work and then Chicago could likely flip him. The meat of the deal would be one of the Pens prospects + 3rd.
i am not too sure on Poulin but i would submit another prospect. but the other 2 is spot on.

If we're trading Saad to Pittsburgh, it better be a good prospect coming back.
I would consider Saad at 50% retention for this season and next for Poulin.

He is a dork. But I'm glad for arizona's fans. Going for it as a organization after so many years getting jerked around.

Probably a small add from the Pens side for the Hawks retaining til 2021 would even things out.

Imagine being Hall the last few years. From a shitty Edmonton team, to a shitty Devils team, now it's Arizona that gives him the best chance of winning in his career.
It's quite remarkable. Some times it's just the luck of the f'in draw where you get drafted to and traded to.

This would be a very intriguing deal for both sides if Lehner wants to hit the UFA market

Funny enough Poulin plays a bit like a young Saad. I'd do it.
