Absolutely not. We have no use for an extra first rounder right now. If we are trading wallinder it needs to be for someone who can play on our roster this year.

I disagree. This trade would help in many ways. First It frees up 2.25 mil next year. Second you open up roster sports for guys who are ready.

Now they have ammo for the offseason. Tons of cap space, two first rounders to trade or pair together to move up in the draft, and roster space to go for top end guys.

You sacrifice almost nothing this season to get it.

Wallinder looks really bad in GR these days. He has quickly become our most overrated prospect. You can tell from the prospect rankings that people aren't really watching him. Gustafsson, for all of his flaws, is a much better defensemen now and next year.

How is he overrated? He’s ranked like 13th amongst our fanbase on here

That first can be used to trade for a roster player…plus the extra cap space

He is overrated by those that think he has any kind of NHL future. Even if he gets a cup of coffee in the NHL, he probably wont be able to play to his strengths in the role he would be in. The vast majority of fringe NHL defensemen that actually stick around are the very defensive types.

But it seems like the fanbase acknowledges that his NHL future is grim. So how is he overrated?

Don't think we need to do that. Ed will be very cost-controlled for years, because he won't see the PP much. Seider and Pellikka will man the future slots. When there's no high point-production, he will be cost-controlled but very effective like Kronwall behind Lidström.

I don't think we go with 8 years, and if we go, it will be lot less than Seider got. Like taking the cap rise on count, still.

Also funny how Rzombo for prez ranked him as 13th best prospect and the current rank average is also 13th.

So where does the overrating come from?

I did rate Wallinder a lot higher, but the board consensus did not.

I'm currently OK trading Wallinder as a piece for RHD option, because Johansson totally surprised me. And Albert is currently one option for the left side, if we can add legit RHD guys.
