Value of: 11th overall pick

[Gliff]

Ducks might offer up Zegras?

No chance.

 

[Perratrooper]

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

Oh yeah the Avs obviously add in that scenario, but the question is how much?

 

[blinkman360]

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.

I'll fax over the paperwork, sir!

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

There is a huge difference between those 2 pick location.

Its s high chance thf person picked at 11th has a long nhl career surr some might not be superstars. Picking Kate 20s/early 30s there is s greater than 50% chance they dontbecome much if a player at all or anything above replacement value

I don't think we're interested in the pick (unless we have plans to package it with assets for a current NHL player who meets a need), but you can solve your 3C hole long-term with one perfectly-serviceable Jesperi Kotkaniemi for...like...a 6th or 7th? ...as long as there is no cap dump in return and absolutely no salary retention.

Too expensive? How about future considerations?

Hard no. That’s your cap problem to deal with.

From the Capitals, Connor McMichael, Beck Malenstyn and Colorado 2nd for 11OA. Checks 2 of your boxes for 3C and and physical bottom 6 winger, and McMichael has room to grow into a top 6C. Both players are young and would be long term additions.

 

[99ovr]

Batherson for 11OA

A possibly suspended player at a position buffalo has zero need

If Vegas want a change, with Eichel and Hertl already there, William Karlsson might be an interesting name. Thompson and Couzens are both right-handed Cs so a vet left-handed C who kills penalties could help.

Vegas and Buffalo had a decent enough relationship with the Eichel trade so could help too.

wow..thats crazy how a 3rd overall, who was trending pretty good after his 1st season, we even had a hard time choosing between him and suzuki on who will be the future 1st c, and now he's a cap dump...he should never have signed that offersheet, he would have had plenty of ice time with danault leaving.

11th (+) for William Karlsson is exactly what I want to do with 11, but it'll take some convincing on Karlsson to waive to Buffalo, which is probably unlikely.

With a few Scandinavians there, along with the fact it is only a M-NTC may mean he'd be OK going to Buffalo

He probably still would have sucked. I think he cashed in way above what he would have with Carolina doubling down on their mistake. Good for him.
