*Note: Unfortunately, I can not track 2022 prospect selections.

There we're way to many trades to breakdown in 2021, so I've decided to split it up into 2 parts; Jan-Jun 2021 - Part 1 & Jul-Dec 2021 - Part 2.

To DET: Nicolas Hague, 2021 OTT 1^st (JJ Peterka)

To SEA: Caleb Jones, Kailer Yamamoto, 2021 DET 3^rd (Leevi Merilainen)

Analysis: After a stellar 2019-2020 season, Yamamoto has been on a steady decline, while Peterka has been on the steady rise and proven to be a solid middle 6 option in the NHL.

To SJ: Alexander Georgiev, 2021 CBJ 1^st (Yegor Chinakov)

To CGY: Kaapo Kahkonen, 2023 SJ 3^rd (Elias Pettersson – D)

Analysis: Sumit was able to acquire the better goalie and the higher pick here, although they probably lasted no more than 2 days on his roster.

To SJ: Sidney Crosby (50% retained), Rielly Smith

To OTT: Nick Ritchie, Shane Bowers

Analysis: What the actual fuck Steph. I have no words….

To SJ: 2021 MTL 1^st (Thomas Bordeleau)

To: Sami Vatanen, 2022 SJ 6^th

Analysis: Sumit was on the side right side of 3 lopsided trades within 30 minutes of each other. Crazy! Vatanen hasn’t played in the NHL since 2021, although Bordeleau hasn’t lived up to the hype, netting a 1^st for a guy who lasted one sim season is great work by Sumit.

To BOS: Mikko Koivu, 2021 PHI 2^nd (Luke Evangelista)

To LAK: Noel Acciari

Analysis: Boston was able to flip a 4^th line forward for an young middle 6 NHLer in Evangelista. Good work here by the Bruins.

To PIT: Matt Duchene, David Rittich, 2021 MTL 1^st (Thomas Bordeleau)

To SJ: Vitek Vanecek

Analysis:  Sumit’s gonna want this one back. You could argue Rittich is as valuable as Vanecek nowadays, and Toby was able to squeeze a 1^st and Duchene out of the deal. This is why Toby is known as the SIM GOAT in some parts of town. What a shark.

To TOR: Sergei Bobrovsky, Josh Anderson, 2022 BOS 6^th

To PIT: 2021 WPG 1^st (Tyson Foerster)

Analysis: I take back what I said, yikes Toby… Bob is a perennial Vezina finalist, and Josh Anderson has had some serviceable years. Foerster is a decent piece but Toby’s gonna want this one back.

To SJ: J.T. Miller, Tanner Pearson, 2022 BOS 3^rd

To BOS: Johnny Gaudreau, Trent Frederic

Analysis: J.T. Miller has turned into one of the best SIM players while Gaudreau has been disappointing to say the least since forcing his way out of Calgary.

To PHI: Tom Wilson, Trevor Moore, 2022 MTL 1^st, Cale Fleury, Marc-Edouard Vlasic

To ARI: Adam Boqvist, Ivan Chekhovich

Analysis: Although Boqvist and Chekhovich are still relatively young with upside, the Flyers arguably got the 3 best pieces in the deal in Wilson, Moore and the 1^st.

To CHI: Jordan Kyrou, Grigori Denisenko, 2022 MTL 1^st

To PHI: Gabriel Landeskog

Analysis: Although impossible to forecast Landeskog’s injury problems, that have kept him off the ice for 2 seasons now, the Flyers would sure be wishing they had Kyrou and the rights to that 1^st back.

To SJ: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nikita Zadorov

To ARI: David Gustafsson, 2024 1^st (Axel Sandin-Pellika), 2022 ARI 3^rd, 2022 SJ 7^th

Analysis: The Utah Hockey Club is gonna ned ASP to turn into a star, although probable for this deal to turn out. If ASP flops, the HC are gonna want this one back, especially after Nuge’s 22-23 season SIM rates.

To TB: 2022 MIN 1^st, 2022 MIN 2^nd

To MIN: Mathew Dumba

Analysis: Dumba has been on the steady decline for the last few seasons now, so netting a 1^st at his peak was good work by the Lightning here.
