Nashville gets:
- Denis Gurianov
- Mikko Lehtonen
- Patrik Nemeth
- 2021 6th round draft pick (from Winnipeg)
San Jose gets:
- Barclay Goodrow
- Brandon Montour
- 2021 4th round draft pick
- 2022 3rd round draft pick
From my perspective, I did not see Goodrow nor Montour as keepers moving forward - so I have no problem trading them away. Goodrow has more value in leagues that reward physical play (which is not our points-only league). Montour was a promising young defenseman, but his career is stagnating in Buffalo. His value increases with the recent trade to a playoff contender in Florida, where he should see top-4 minutes (good for San Jose). But he is a UFA at the end of this season.
I pick-up Gurianov who (although he has hit a plateau this season) is a young, dynamic forward who sees top-6 minutes in Dallas. He is also affordable and still has term on his contract (RFA in 2022). Lehtonen is an older NHL "prospect", but he has had success in the KHL. He is starting to get some playing time in Columbus due to their injuries on defense - so he may be a nice surprise. Nemeth is a salary dump for San Jose, but he may gain value now that he is traded to a play-off bound Colorado.
In summary, I gain a good young "keeper" forward in Gurianov for a 4th round pick in 2021 and a 3rd round pick in 2022 (which hurts slightly less as I gain back a 6th round pick in 2021).
San Jose rolls the dice that a rejuvinated Montour will score points in Florida and gains some of higher draft picks.
Thanks, Cory, for your creative proposal and flexible negotiating!
