The Kings get a conditional 3rd rounder in 2022 and a conditional 4th rounder in 2023. I haven’t seen the conditions but they’re probably based on playoff games played and how far the Pens advance. Kings retain 50% of his cap hit or about $2.6 million. He’s under contract for next year too but the 11 year/$58 million contract he signed with the Flyers in 2010 was front-loaded so his actual this year and next is only $2 million.Per McKenzie the Kings send Jeff Carter to the Pens for TBD
He might be the best right handed D the Canes can get for the price .Circling back to Vatanen, once he clears waivers today he will be more tradable as a player who teams can stuff on their taxi squad. I could see the Canes trading a 4th round pick (or lower) for him still.
Taylor Hall had a full NMC which potentially could have shrunken the market for him. Foligno had a NMC but with a modified NTC that allowed him a 10 team no trade list. The market for Hall might have also soured a bit due to how bad he has been this year. Foligno also brings a certain skill set that Hall doesn't (aka he can play defense).Kevyn Adams has traded Eric Staal, Taylor Hall and Brandon Montour for a 2nd, 2 3rds, a 5th and Anders Bjork. Kekalainen got a better return for Foligno than Adams got for Hall.
At The Athletic, Dom Luspellcheck gave the Slugs a F-, Eric Duhatschek gave them a B- so even the “experts” are split on it. They’re also split on the Bruins grade, with a A+ and C+, respectively.Taylor Hall had a full NMC which potentially could have shrunken the market for him.

No one can say the Leafs are not making every effort to win the Cup. In the end though, to me, their goaltending remains suspect enough that I would still be worried about it if I was a Leafs fan. Campbell is as fragile as it gets and Rittich is not very consistent. Who knows what the heck is going on with Andersen. They are going to be relying on shutdown forwards and lots of high end scoring to make up for that hole. Can you imagine what the uproar will be if they don't get to the conference finals after trading away all of these picks for rentals?
Cap Friendly says the 3rd becomes a 2nd if the Pens reach the Cup Final and Carter plays at least r0% of the games. The 2023 4th becomes a 3rd if Carter plays at least 50% of the playoff games.LeBrun says the conditional 3rd becomes a 2nd if the Pens win the Cup and Carter plays in at least 50% of the games.
