Puig + A. Meyer + P. Johnson + Hak Ju Lee for Aaron Sanchez, Joey Gallo, Miguel Sano and a round 2 draft pick.

 

Same type of deal he just made in this league. Trades that you have almost no chance to win are awesome!

Zajac is a nice centre to have - he can be a 50-60 pt player as he's shown in the past and he'll put up nice all-around numbers. I was a huge fan back in 2009 and 2010 - those were some really good years.

Someday soon you're going to get f***ed by the giant dick of prospect attrition and stop making these deals. You're currently making trades under the assumption that most prospects reach their ceilings, when the reality is that most don't. Leon Draisaitl is more likely to bust completely than to hit 80 points in a season.

Should we recite #3 overall picks of the past. This isn't baseball.

 

Matt Duchene

 

lmao

recent 2-5 forwards taken:

2007 = JVR, Turris

2008 = N/A

2009 = Duchene, E. Kane, Schenn

2010 = Seguin, Johansen, Niederreiter

2011 = Landeskog, Huberdeau, Strome

2012 = Galchenyuk

 

The only guys there you can maybe make a case for being on par with Duchene are Seguin and Landeskog. I have two of them (Schenn and Galchenyuk) and I wouldn't trade either for Draisaitl, but would not hesitate for a second to trade them for Duchene.

 

There's just no upside. Duchene is almost a PPG game guy. The odds that Draisiatl reaches his level are low.

Also: if anyone wants to trade me a near-PPG player in his prime for Galchenyuk or Schenn, please PM me.

I would be interested in Galchenyuk, somewhat.

No need to throw in garbage like Schen and Neido they're irrelevant to this discussion. anyhow the point I was making is that the #3 overall consistently produces elite talent. There was a dry spell there in the mid 2000's but hockey was in a weird place then.

 

lol, the guys who "busted" are irrelevant? Why? Draisaitl is far from a safe prospect.

So you trade for a #3 pick, sure

 

But what do you trade for it?

 

AN ELITE TALENT FROM A #3 PICK

 

WAT

Prospects don't bust man. Attrition is a myth like global warming.

Well for one, being an Oiler fan and watching every game is going to be fun. Definitely was a fun factor to the trade. I tried to get RNH from Van but he is immovable apparently.

 

Holy f***. Holy f***, dude. You evaluate players like an *******.

Anyone want to give me a PPG player for Nik Ehlers?

 

It's funny because Draisaitl is only very marginally more valuable than Ehlers.

I trade Brian Elliott + 2nd round pick for Havoks Nikolaj Ehlers + 1st round pick.

 

------------------

 

I had a surplus of goaltending that I didn't mind trading from to gain future assets. I think Havok wins this deal right now as he's gaining back the only NHL piece (Ehlers sent back to QMJHL) but hopefully this trade will look a lot better for me in one years time.

 

Nice dealing with you Havok, we are both stubborn. lol

 

Not a huge fan of Elliott, but whatever.

Definitely not ideal, but I had to do something about my goaltending situation.

Any interest in moving the player we spoke of in the past?

 

P.S. Are NHL rosters cutting down tomorrow?

 

Yeah I'll contact you tomorrow around noon about that. Got to get some sleep now.

 

Oh and yeah tomorrow would be the NHL roster cut down date I believe.

Still won't load, it's the console.

 

Are you still working off the console Spank? We've gotta be able to find an old laptop or something for you to use.

Yeah using the net on console isn't the greatest. When you have to open attached documents etc, it doesn't load.

Calm down yo, I'm a busy guy!

 

I've received 35 PMs today, although half of them are probably because every message Spanky sends, sends 3 or 4 times. lol

 

lol

 

Aight, get back to me whenever you can, think it fits your wants pretty well.
