Value of: 3rd overall pick

[Baksfamous112]

I'd offer Marner for it assuming he'd waive and sign an extension. Anaheim would be adding to it though.

Maybe the 3rd + Zegras for Marner as a base.

Imagine the ask for Marner after yet another piss poor playoff performance would be Zegras and on top of that you’d get to draft 3rd overall as well.

Marner isn’t worth anywhere near that. I’m not even sure he’s worth his cap hit.

If you think Marner is a crap asset than all the power to ya. If you're lucky the 3rd OA will become 75% of the player he is.

But anyway I'm done wasting my time. I know it's popular to hate on and troll everything Leafs on the mains.

I didn't say every offer for Zegras is for crap value. Marner isn't but he still doesnt make sense for Anaheim and where they're at imo. Point was you still offered the guy up for Zegras and walked away from a "no" with the most common reaction to no that has followed every stupid Zegras thread that has popped up since those rumors first started swirling.

I think there is an urgency to start getting better next season

Why?

 

[danisonfire]

Ya i mean i guess it depeneds who we like and who Chicago takes
but i think chicago takes Demidov.

So if demidov is off the boards, not sure it makes sense for Montreal to move up(unless they really like lindstrom, and think Columbus might grab him).

I could see the Habs adding to move up from 5 to 3.

If the ducks don't have anyone specific in mind after the first two picks, or they feel that their player will be available at 5; I could see a trade between the two teams.

It really depends what the GMs think will happen. If the Habs think that their player will be taken 3rd or 4th, they will be using assets to move up (and they have a bunch of them).

Ana 3ov + Ana 2rd for Mtl 5ov + Win 1st

so how does that make Anaheim better exactly?

It doesn't.

Trade down to get a better second pick. If they think the player they want to draft at 3 would still be there at 5 it would be good for them.

The extension would have to be for 8M. No one wants to pay those assets for the privilege of paying someone who doesn’t produce in the playoffs 11+ M.

Don’t see it happening. More likely, you’ll trade Marner for a contract with less salary but more term remaining and it will be limited to a team he’s willing to waive for.

Marner for Gibson makes more sense under the circumstance.

that's not really answering the question OP was asking. How does moving down a couple spots help make the team better next season? our prospect pool is already top of the league, we need to start competing.

The Ducks will most likely improve next year but will still be a lottery team if not a top 10 pick team. Hoping for anything better than that is just a recipe for disappointment.

Ana doesn’t need to make the PO. But they should get out of the bottom 5. They had 59 points. Montreal at 5th worst had 76 points.

3 of the last 4 seasons bottom 3 in the nhl standings and 4/5 in bottom 5. Sold their ufas to be back in 2022. Have kids like Gauthier, Carlson, Zell, Mintyukov, Lacombe and even MacTavish who need quality vets around them.
Figure out how to acquire a couple of them either via free agency or trade.

Ana 3ov + Ana 2rd for Mtl 5ov + Win 1st

Trading 3rd (for 5th) to gain 8 spots at 27 (vs 35th) is an easy no.

And if Mtl add 58th?

 

[JRichard]

And if Mtl add 58th?

Does nothing for Ana who already has two 2nds and three 3rds. And Edm 1st around 30

Picks 30, 35, 59, 66, 68.
No need for 58 tbh.

I believe Ana would like rd. Would they like Mailloux?

You still have reinbacher and Barron young rds. Plus 2 vets.

Mailloux is def not in play to only move up 2spot. Guess we aren't good trading partner

Flames would offer Rasmus Andersson, if they were smart

Based on your first few posts in this thread, I just assumed you had a humiliation fetish or something

 

[Drumman44]

Maybe the 3rd + Zegras for Marner as a base.

You’re going to have to be physically restrained when you see what the return is for Marner if he is traded

It is called dark humor...

Jesus Christ what is this mayhem

 

[TBF1972]

You missed the part where I said he would sign an extension with Anaheim.

if he signs below 10m/yr long term, this becomes a fair deal. now ask yourself how likely this scenario is.

Anaheim would be adding? Are you on drugs? Rentals don't have remotely that much value

 

[Shark Finn]

I see this thread was set on the correct path right from the first reply.

 

[Gliff]

The only thing that would make sense is a RHD in the same realm that they would get at 3 but more NHL ready or even in the NHL.

Basically Jiricek.

 

[HuGort]

Now that the lottery is complete, what are Anaheims trade options with this pick? I think there is an urgency to start getting better next season

I doubt they trade it. Good chance Demidov is there. They choice of Buium, Silayev or Dickinson. I'm guessing but Black Hawks probably take Levshunov. They don't have a right shot D in their system and he is a good one
