Value of: 11th overall pick

[Monsieur Verdoux]

If somehow Landy is back and we resign. Drouin we would have too many top 6 wings. I'd still rather keep him but he's wasted on a third line. You want him getting pucks for your top tier talent. Would be great with Hughes.

I'd surprised if Landy is still a top6 forward after 2 year absence. But it's not impossible.

Yeah, hard to know what to expect. He could be cooked. Would be sad

Leafs don’t have much to offer but here it goes anyway

Nick Robertson (middle sixer with a great shot, paced for 20 goals last year with 11 minutes TOI)
Timothy Liljegren (#4 RHD, cost controlled, decent defensively, good in transition, decent offensively)
2024 first round pick (I think it’s 23rd overall?)
Rights to Tyler Bertuzzi (as a throw in, I know this has like 7th round pick value)

Or let’s get crazy

John Tavares (50% retention, bonus paid by TOR)
Mitch Marner (50% retention, bonus paid by TOR)
Timothy Liljegren

For

11th overall
Bowen Byram

I wouldn't do any of that, but I appreciate your creativity.

 

[Thechozen1]

The amount of “a player that’s somewhere between spare parts and garbage + a very late 1st” in this thread

If the Jets decide it’s time to move on from Ehlers, I offer him and Pionk in a package deal.

 

[CanadienShark]

You went crazy alright. Give up the 11th and Byram for two one year contracts and Liljegren. And thats IF the would agree to the trade. At least make it so Buffalo would have something to think about.

John Tavares
Mitch Marner
Timothy Liljegren
Toronto first

For

11th overall
Bowan Byram
Jeff Skinner
Buffalo 4th

That would at least give Buffalo something to think about.

For a second, I thought this was a Bern proposal, but there wasn't enough nonsensical rambling.

 

[Perratrooper]

Ross Colton is the perfect 3C for the Sabres. Bottom 6 winger? Look no further than Miles Wood!

How is that for a starting point on a trade?

 

[Point21]

Cirelli+ for 11OA+

 

[DJN21]

Cirelli+ for 11OA+

The plus will be a 7th

 

[Figgy44]

I’d be looking at Arizona.

Deal them Power + 11 or a prospect for something

Who?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

11th overall isn’t THAT valuable. You’re lucky to get a full time NHLer at that point

 

[KevinRedkey]

Pulock from the Isles, if he's willing to waive his NTC. We'd probably need a decent prospect back as well.

I think the Isles will look to shake up the core a bit this offseason. Pulock, Nelson, Palmieri. Martin and Clutterbuck both gone. Possibly Lee if they can figure out a way to make it work.

Not to derail the tyhread, but if Poluck is willing to waive for Ottawa - I'd imagine they'd be quite interested.

OTT 1st (7th)
BOS 1st (~26th)
Opstapckuk (39th in 2021) or Jarventie (33rd in 2020)

--- for ---

Poluck
NYI 1st (18th)
Pageau (50% retained)

Tweaks can be made here and there if needed of course.

 

[mrinsane]

Habs should be all over this.. Kovacevic, Messe/Beck and 1rst Pick CGY 2025

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

11th overall isn’t THAT valuable. You’re lucky to get a full time NHLer at that point

Is that true?

2011-2021

Siemens
Forsberg
Morin
Fiala
Crouse
Brown
Vilardi
Wahlstrom
Soderstrom
Askarov
Sillinger

Siemens, Brown and Morin weren't full timers, but the rest either are or are trending towards it (Soderstrom, Askarov). Brown could be but he's got an uphill road.

You'd be lucky to get a star at 11, but you're likely to get an NHL'er.

 

[JTBF81]

Cirelli+ for 11OA+

Nah, no need to move Cirelli, and eskecially not for a player that probably has at best a 50% chance of helping Tampa 4 years from now. Any trade involving Cirelli would have to lead to immediate help for Tampa, so unless the 11oa was quickly flipped for an RD or Tampa could guarantee an upgrade there in ufa(and still have the space to replace the glaring hole left by Cirelli's departure), no thanks.

Ross Colton is the perfect 3C for the Sabres. Bottom 6 winger? Look no further than Miles Wood!

How is that for a starting point on a trade?

Less than 0 interest in that Wood contract. Colton should be of interest, but not for the 11th overall unless Colorado is adding.

 

[Mac Attack]

Add our first?

 

[Diaspora]

Add our first?

Depending on how the board looks when Buffalo's on the clock, 25OA + Colton for 11OA sounds like a reasonable deal.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Gezz MTL would love that pick ..

Could Mailloux + WPG first + Evans start the talk ?

Not interested as a Habs fan.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I’d characterize that role as a guy who’s very good defensively, not a black hole offensively, above average physicality, above 50% on faceoffs, and a good PKer.

Nico Sturm is all those things to a T, but probably a little closer to an okay 3C or fantastic 4C than a great 3C.

What is Buffalo’s appetite for trading down from 11 to 14? Either for something like a good bottom-6 guy (Sturm, Kunin) or for 42nd overall, which would give them another asset to trade for help now.

 

[Fatass]

Ducks might offer up Zegras?

I’d 100% be game for making a trade like that for Sturm, personally speaking. (Though I, of course, am not the GM lol.) I’m not sure he has enough offense to really be viewed as a 3C, but he’d definitely be a useful player for Buffalo and add an element we’re missing down the middle.

I'd trade that pick for Sturm/Kunin and 14.

Then most 3rd liners are not true 3rd liners.Looking at this from a balance sheet angle where things need to balance out.

Someone that's good enough to be classified as a 2c of course

I suspect that

 

[TommyDangles]

11th overall isn’t THAT valuable. You’re lucky to get a full time NHLer at that point

11th overall pick has about a 75% chance to produce a full time NHLer. That's compared to the 32nd pick which is around a 35% chance.

You're pretty far off.

 

[StuckOutHere]

A little bit less than the 10th overall pick.
