Maybe 1st + Poolman + Dickinson + Rathbone then? That would be a pretty big package but I'm also wondering where our team would be in the standings with that new line-up?
Podkolzin-Miller-Boeser
Kuzemko-Pettersson-Mikheyev
Pearson-Horvat-Garland
Hoglander-Lazar-Jackson
Lockwood
Hughes-Murphy
OEL-Myers
Dermott-Schenn
Juulsen
Demko
Martin
I could definitely see the above team causing a 1st round upset and making it to the 2nd round......and then possibly taking the next level once the Canucks replace Myers and Pearson with better value.
That's probably what it would cost to do the deal, and would instantly not be worth it on our end, unfortunatelly. Poolman and Dickinson are such negative value that whatever it would take to move them would make it not worth it on our end to move them. There's no short cuts out of the Benning Blunders, we might just have to serve our time in cap prison, which is why as much as I love Miller and am weirdly happy with him sticking with us, rationally I worry that our fate is set to burn off the good value years of his contract and then we'll be carrying both him and OEL's dead weight when we should actually be in a window to take the run.
Larsson same boat, we don't have anything to offer Seattle that they'd want, unless we'd give them things that would not be worth it for us to do the deal. Unless as noted, Boeser goes on a great run, and Kuzmenko and Mikheyev also are solid assets, in which case would Seattle take Boeser for Larsson?
