Value of: 2018 1st overall pick: What would your team be willing to give up?

[Sabresruletheschool]

Sabres 1st (2nd-5th) + Risto and Bogosian (40% salary retained) for 1st overall + smaller cap dump

I wouldn't do this as a Buffalo fan. Rather have Risto and the pick.

 

[cupcrazyman]

Rights to Bozak and Rights to JVR

Both players are UFA

Why not? Dahlin is more franchise changing than Eichel is. Eichel/Dahlin combo for the next 15 years would be unreal.

Eichel/Reinhart/ROR/Mittelstadt/Asplund/Nylander as our top 6 and Dahlin/Scandella/Guhle are our top 3 dman. That is a contending team.

It doesn't matter though, no one is trading out of 1st overall

22 YO 60 point centre on the lowest scoring team in the league, who is still improving, and a top 5 pick? Depends on who wins the lottery, and where they are at in a rebuild, but that is a pretty good package.

Understandable. I don't think I'd do DET's pick and Larkin for #1 to be honest. As bad as I want Dahlin, you're robbing Peter to pay Paul.

 

[connormcmuffin]

Nylander + Liljegren + 1st + Sparks

 

[BlueBaron]

Prospect 2-5 and 2 first round picks.

 

[BlueBaron]

Nylander + Liljegren + 1st + Sparks

Fired!

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Prospect 2-5 and 2 first round picks.

How good is prospect 2-5? Because two 20+ picks aren't gonna cut it.

Anyone but TL. Some future NHLers, no stars. We can't afford him really.

Don't think anybody can really afford him to be honest. The price would be so outrageous nobody will pay it.

For a generational D on an ELC?

Welcome to my ignored list.

2018 1st overall pick: What would your team be willing to give up?

With Dahlin slated to go #1, we're talking about a guy with Connor McDavid/Auston Matthews pedigree and hype.

What would your team be willing to give up in order to acquire the 1st overall of 2018?

Um, anyone, even Provo

 

[phlocky]

The team wouldn’t, but I’d be interested in discussing Provorov + the better of the STL/PHL 1sts + something else significant.

So would I and imo Provo is really the only "untouchable" on the team

 

[phlocky]

2018 PHI 1st, 2019 PHI 1st (protected top5), STL 1st + choice of Sanheim/Myers

Um, wow, that's a lot to give up but if it doesn't cost us Provo then I'm all for it

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Both players are UFA

Probably the worst offer ever.

Yup, take our unwanted trash for your diamonds, lol

So a second line center or a franchise D man.....

Horvat is more of a 1A center than a 2nd line center (and if he isn’t, he is certainly trending that way).

Trading Horvat+ a 1st for Dahlin would be akin to robbing Peter to pay Paul. Yes, the Canucks would have a franchise D man, but now they’d have a serious lack of depth at center. Pettersson may not even trend as a center. With Henrik on the verge of retirement, the Canucks need atleast another young bonafide top center to complement Horvat.

Give the minor guys a chance?

 

[wabagee]

Is he the real deal? Its always hard to evaluate them early. This coming from a Jets fan with a Calder winner named Myers.

 

[Horse McHindu]

Give the minor guys a chance?

As much as I love Gaudette, I’m not sure if he’ll become as good as Horvat.......and even if he does, he’ll likely need 1-2 years to get up to speed. Pettersson might not even trend as a center.

I don’t know......for me, losing Horvat would be too big a blow and the Canucks would be taking too big a risk. The Canucks really need another young center to complement Horvat. Hopefully, Pettersson is that guy.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Say Mtl picks top 5 (not 1st overall). I'd do Pacioretty + that top 5 pick.

If I'm 1st overall I ask for another 1st and this years 2nd on top of that. If Dahlin is at the level of a McDavid or Matthews he's worth at least that.

 

[Andre Palot]

I dunno, Andy Greene and a half a pork roll sandwich?

Matthews Hype maybe, not even close to McDavid hype though.

 

[hockeyguy1967]

I personally would NOT be willing to give up Horvat.

Why? He is not that good. If he is your #1C you are a very bad team.

24 years old in two week Center who only hit 50 points once is a 60 point center now?
