Trades

CHI

Tavares, John
2026 1st round pick (TOR)

Additional Details:

Hawks already own Toronto's 2025 top-10 protected pick; if 2025 pick is top 10, Hawks get Toronto's 2026 and 2027 1sts instead.

TOR

Hall, Taylor ($3,000,000 retained)
2024 3rd round pick (OTT)

Additional Details:

Tavares likely wouldn't waive. Still an overpay for Toronto, but they gain $8 million in cap space (Stamkos?) and if Hall stays healthy he should have 50-75% of Tavares' production.

CHI

Akey, Beau
Campbell, Jack
2026 1st round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

Unprotected 2026 1st, but this trade only happens if Edmonton is going all in and thinks they can keep Draisaitl.

EDM

Raddysh, Taylor [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

Campbell cap dump valued at as approximately the cost of his buyout this offseason.

CHI

Zegras, Trevor
2024 1st round pick (ANA)

Additional Details:

Hawks draft Demidov

ANA

2024 1st round pick (CHI)

Additional Details:

Anaheim's GM overpays for Levyshunov.

Title checks out.

Zegras is way way WAY above the cost to move from 3 to 2. Only way Anaheim is packaging Zegras for 2OA is with 31 OA, not 3OA.

I agree that Zegras + 3 for 2 is unrealistic, although Zegras + 31 for 2 is just as unrealistic. This wasn't originally my idea though-- it was the "Z for 2 overall" Ducks team posted earlier this morning that inspired this team. This is basically a compilation of trades other teams' fans have suggested that I'd take in a heartbeat. Each of them would be terrible trades for the other team, but occasionally a team makes one of those (see: Seth Jones trade).

That was made by a Habs fan.

31 plus Z is way closer to reality than 3 plus Z is.

No to Zegras, that trade isn't enough. And Anaheim will over value him.

Tavares deal doesn't work as proposed. Only way Hawks make the trade is AFTER his bonus is paid. Which is after 2024 draft.

Oilers will just buyout Campbell vs attaching a ton of assets to him.
