Toronto - St Louis -) 25 for 29 and 76. Dominik Bokk for Rasmus Sandin and Semyon Der Arguchinstev
Colorado- Pittsburgh-) 58 for 64 and 146. Filip Hallander for Justus Annunen and Danila Zhuravlyov

Arizona- Chicago -) 74 for 87 and 142. Nicklas Nordgren for Linus Karlsson and Michael Callahan.
Arizona - San Jose -) 87 for 114 and 145. Linus Karlsson for Ivan Prosvetov and Dennis Busby.
Montreal - San Jose -) 102 for 123 for 139. Jesper Weatherby for Jack Gorniak and Mikkael Hakkarainen
Montreal - Calgary -) 122 for 2019 4th. Milos Roman for TBD
Buffalo - Toronto -) 156 for a 2019 6th. Pontus Holmberg for TBD

Pittsburgh - Vegas -) 208 for 2019 7th. Jordan Kooy for TBD.
Carolina - NYR -) 216 for 2019 7th. Riley Hughes for TBD
Too early to analyse.
---------------------------
2017
Chicago - Dallas -) 26 for 29 and 70. Jake Oettinger for Henri Jokiharju and Andrei Altybarmakyan
Arizona - Philadelphia - ) 35 for 44, 75 and 108. Isaac Ratcliffe for Filip Westerlund, Nate Schnarr and Noel Hoefenmayer.
Arizona -Edmonton -) 78 for 82 and 126. Stuart Skinner for Cameron Crotty and Michael Karow.
Vancouver -Chicago -) 112 for 135 and 181. Tim Soderlund for Kristoffer Gunnarsson and Petrus Palmu
Boston - Vegas -) 142 for Future Considerations. Jonathan Dugan for TBD
NYR - San Jose -) 102 for 123 and 174. Scott Reedy for Brandon Crawley and Morgan Barron.
LA - NYI -) 165 for 2018 6th. Johan Sodergran for Arnaud Durandeau
NJ - San Jose -) 185 for 204 and 214. Sasha Chmelevski for Yegor Zaitsev and Matthew Hellickson
Philadelphia - Montreal -) 199 for 2018 7th. Cayden Primeau for Brett Stapley.
Too early to analyse.
-----------------------------
2016
NJ - Ottawa -) 11 for 12 and 86. Logan Brown for Michael Mcleod and Brandon Gignac.
Look like a win from both sides right now. Both Mcleod and Gignac got some Nhl action this year. Logan Brown looks to be a player, and should play this season after a great year in the A. Overall, I think it is pretty even right now, but will change as the years progress.
Philadelphia - Winnipeg -) 18 and 79 for 22 and 36. Logan Stanley and Luke Green for German Rubtsov and Pascal Laberge.
In my opinion this trade is tilted slightly in Philadelphia's favour. I believe Rubtsov will have the most impact out of all 4 players. However, I understand arguments for Winnipeg because both Laberge and Rubtsov have had injury riddled seasons.
Washington - St Louis -) 26 for 28 and 87. Tage Thompson for Lucas Johansen and Garrett Pilon.
This is a trade both teams should be happy with but it looks like it's slightly in favour for St Louis. Tage Thompson returned Ryan O'Reilly, and that was a main factor in their cup win. Whereas Washington gains Johansen and Pilon. Johansen didn't really take a step forward this season, but I still see middle six potential because of his skillset. To add, Garrett Pilon can potentially groom into a bottom sixer. A lot of what ifs.
Chicago - NYI -) 95 for 110 and a 2017 6th. Anatoli Golyshev for Lucas Carlsson and Jonathan Davidsson
This one is a Chicago win based on Golyshev coming over. Anatoli Golyshev may be skilled and talented. However he may never come over, as his contract is until 22-23. Lucas Carlsson had a solid season, and looks to be a potential defenseman for Chicago. Davidsson is a non factor as he was traded away with Panarin for Saad.
Philly - NYI-) 120 for a 2017 4th. Otto Koivula for Noel Hoefenmaker.
This is a win for both sides in my books. Otto Koivula had an excellent season for Bridgeport. He is very skilled with great hands and he should be in the bigs soon. The 2017 4th which ended up being Noel Hoefenmaker was used in a trade for Isaac Ratcliffe. Ratcliffe, looks fantastic and should be an Nhl guy. He is great offensively, good defensively and isn't afraid of the physical game.
Chicago - St Louis -) 144 for 2017 5th. Conner Bleakley for Parker Foo.
Both look like non players to me, nobody wins.
Winnipeg - Montreal -) 187 for a 2017 7th. Arvid Henriksson for Croix Evingston.
Both will not be Nhl players.
-----------------------------
2015
Toronto- Philly | 24 for 29 and 61. Travis Konecny for Gabriel Carlsson and Jeremy Bracco
Both Teams should be very happy with this deal even though Philly wins based on getting Konecny. Konecny is a fantastic second line center. Toronto, traded 29 for two picks which ended up being Travis Dermott and Martins Dzierkals. Bracco looks like a top 9 scorer after his amazing season in the A. Dermott, should be a top 4 d and Dzierkals is skilled but does not look like an nhl player to me.
Tampa - NYI | 28 for 33 and 72. Anthony Beauvillier for Mitchell Stephens and Anthony Cirelli
For me Tampa wins this deal. Anthony Cirelli is the best player in this deal after his fantastic rookie as the third line center. Stephens may turn out as a bottom six. Anthony Beauvillier is good but not great.
Toronto-Columbus | 29 for 34 and 68. Gabriel Carlsson for Travis Dermott and Martins Dzierkals
Toronto is the winner 0f this. Travis Dermott looks like a better defensemen then Carlsson. However, I can see Carlsson becoming a bottom pair defensive defensemen.
Colorado - San Jose | 31 for 39, a 2016 2nd and 2017 6th. Jeremy Roy for AJ Greer, Cameron Morrison and Denis Smirnov.
Colorado wins this, however it can change based on Roy. Roy has great tools but has not progressed the way he should have. He still has potential but I am uncertain about the likeliness of him reaching it. To add, Greer looks like a bottom sixer, Smirnov and Morrison are wildcards.
Nj - Ottawa | 36 for 42 and a 2016 3rd. Gabriel Gagne for Mackenzie Blackwood and Joey Anderson.
New Jersey wins this easily. Mackenzie Blackwood has starter potential. Joey Anderson is an Nhl player, and may end up as top 9 forward. Gabriel Gagne on the other hand was traded away for Klimchuk who is not going to be an Nhl player.
NYR - Washington | 57 for 62 and 113. Jonas Siegenthaler for Robin Kovacs and Brad Morrison.
Washington wins. Siegenthaler is a bottom pair defence as the others did not workout. NYR lost the rights to Morrison, and Kovacs did not do well on Ahl surface so he went back to Sweden.
Arizona - Calgary | 60 for 76 and 83. Oliver Kylington for Adin Hill and Jens Looke.
Both sides win. Oliver Kylington should be an Nhl defenseman. Adin Hill looked good in net for Arizona in his call up and he should be at least a backup. Jens Looke is a non factor.
Philly - LA | 99 for 104 and 2016 6th. Austin Wagner for Mikhail Vorobyev and Anthony Salintiri
Both sides are happy, but this is slightly in LA's favour. Mikhail Vorobyev is talented and has potential to be a third line center. However, Wagner had a solid rookie season and should improve. He is a great skater and is good defensively. Salintiri is a non-factor as he was left unsigned.
Boston -Minnesota | 135 for a 2016 5th. Kirill Kaprizov for Cameron Clarke.
Minnesota wins. Kirill Kaprizov is incredibly talented, and will be a great player for Minnesota if/when he comes over. Clarke is a non player in my opinion.
NYI - Vancouver | 147 for a 2016 fifth. Ryan Pilon for Cole Candella.
Nobody wins. Ryan Pilon quit hockey, in his d+1. Cole Candella was left unsigned rightfully so, he is not good.
Tampa - Edmonton | 208 for a 2016 7th. Miroslav Svoboda for Otto Somppi
Looks like a non winner trade. Otto Somppi had a great draft +2, but was not good in his draft +3. With his performance this year, I have written him off. Miroslav Svoboda, will not be an nhl goalie.
----------
Here are some one sided Pick for Pick trades in recent history.
(2014) Tampa - Minnesota | 79 for 80 and a 2015 7th. Brayden Point for Louis Belpedio and Jack Sadek.
Tampa wins this big time. They gained a 92 point 1st line center for a bottom pair D and a bust.
(2011) Anaheim - Toronto | 22 for 30 and 39. Tyler Biggs for Rickard Rakell and John Gibson.
Anaheim destroys Toronto here
| Anaheim gains a top 5 goalie and a top 6 forward for a bust.

A bust for a top 4 D....
(2010) Florida - Minnesota | 59 for 69 and 99. Jason Zucker for Joonas Donskoi and Jason Basaraba.
Zucker is an excellent forward and has been fantastic for the Wild for a while. Donskoi never played for florida, and Basaraba busted.
(2014) Nashville - St. Louis | 112 for 203 + 2014 4th. Zach Pochiro for Viktor Arvidsson and Janne Juvonen.
Easy Win for Nashville. They gain a top line forward, and a goalie who still has potential. Pochiro is a bust.
(2013) Detroit -San Jose | #18 for #20 and 58. Mirco Mueller for Tyler Bertuzzi and Anthony Mantha.
Two top 6 forwards for a bottom six d.
