Maybe I’m wrong, but this is our last 4 major trades/acquisitions:
KK - crazy offer sheet, we considered him
undervalued by the Habs - gave up our late 1st round pick
Trocheck (with term!) - way-way undervalued, picked him up for Haula, Wallmark, Chase Priskie, and Eetu Luostarinen.
Brady Skjei (with term!) - traded for late first round pick - undervalued by the Rags because he wasn’t performing up to the contract they signed him to. Our analytics saw a young 2-way left handed dman that could skate, shoot, and move the puck. He a rough first season, but has outperformed his contract ever since.
Dougie Hamilton - was undervalued by Calgary, we also received Adam Fox and Michael Ferland, for Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifan. Adam Fox is the best player in this trade but he wouldn’t play for us so we had to dump him for a 2nd and 3rd. With hindsight Carolina probably lost this trade, but in the immediate 2-3 seasons afterwards Hamilton was the best asset.
