I would not do kasper + Danielson at all. After this year and we see how kasper does for a full year of NA pro hockey, then make the decision. I would much rather get rid of wallinder or aljo no matter how good I think they are/want to keep them, but getting rid of both kasper and danielson might be close to a disaster and yes I realize what the ages are of larkin/ep/etc. Having a center depth of larkin - ep - kasper/danielson would be much more beneficial than not getting rid of an extra defender that we have.Wings should be all in on EP if he ever became available. He's one of the missing pieces that the Wings are missing.
I don't think the Nucks move him during the season and would instead to it at the draft. The Dubois trade would be a close comparable, though EP is a tier or 2 higher. Dubois got Vilardi, Iafallo, Kupari + a 2nd.
I could see something like Fabbri +Berggren + Kasper/Danielson + Wallinder/Mazur + 2024/2025 1st. I think if push came to shove I'd be willing to do Berggren + Kasper+ Danielson + 2024/2025 1st for him. EP is a true top 5/10 level player in his prime and is worth paying a premium for.
Roll into 2024-2025 with:
Mazur - Larkin - Raymond
Rasmussen - EP - Debrincat
Copp - Compher - Soderblom
Kostin - Veleno - Random UFA
Walman - Seider
Edvinsson - Petry
Maata - Holl
Chiarot
Husso
1B Goalie
The only issue might be the cap space. Raymond, Seider, and EP all are up for contracts and would likely cost 23-26M in total.
fabbri + Berggren + k/d + Wallinder/ALJO + 1st would be just a bit*h but I'd make that trade pretty quickly, of which leads me to believe it isn't good enough. Might have to change fabbri + berggren to Rasmussen + Berggren tbh.
Kostin - larkin - raymond
Mazur - EP - DBC
copp - compher - soderblom/Lombardi(???)
That would be a top 6 that could rival a lot of teams with how difficult it would be to allocate the resources necessary to cover all 3 lines, much less the top 6, against most teams in the league. I put kostin up there because from some highlights and articles that is said of him suggests he can play with skill guys just fine and can be the tough guy. Larkin is pretty tough most of the time and adding kostin would be great there. Then putting mazur to protect the others while still having that ability as a goal scoring threat would be fantastic.
Not to mention in either of our forward groups, that PP1 and PP2 would be nasty.
