Value of: 4th overall pick (Utah)

[Kshahdoo]

4OA for TK.

Utah gets 1st line winger on good contract, Flyers get 4th 1st rounder of the draft and the highest one. And good chances for 2026 1OA.

If Hagen's is still on the board at 4, I might be willing to trade Dobson from the Islanders

Utah would just draft Hagens.

Utah needs a center, they should just draft one in this draft.

Granted, they’re not offering a #4 draft pick. They want everyone to take a mid first and mailoux.

Neither offer is enough for a team to essentially move of the top wants of every franchise. It’s either a Top 4 RHD or a top 6C under 30 (more towards mid 20s) that every team covets. Unless the player has flaws, it takes a massive overpayment (in quality not Habs fans quantity dumps) to make it happen.

This draft centers will be NHL ready in 3-4 years...

Utah is in no rush, they got some very good prospects.

Utah is in no rush, they got some very good prospects.

The team's leaders arent that young, though.

 

[Guitpik]

If LA decides to move on from Byfield, they could trade him in a package based around another package based around the 4th OA, at the draft, depending on if someone falls down the board or there's a core player (pure center or top pair D) to rebuild around.

Yeah, that’s not going to happen.

 

[Schemp]

Is Larkin willing and available?
Utah Mammoths have some good prospects that should also interest the Red Wings. Could see Utah be willing to take Tarasenko too in an expanded trade!

 

[Rorschach]

Yeah, that’s not going to happen.

Because?

 

[Guitpik]

Kings aren’t trading away their soon to be 1C. He’s the player a team builds around. Trading Byfield creates a huge hole in their upcoming core.

This would be a wild win for Utah. Gotta think they would have to add something fairly substantial.

 

[bert]

Utah would just draft Hagens.

Instead of trading him for Dobson lol no shot. RHD is the most scarce resource in hockey, I am sure Islanders would look for a big add.

 

[SEALBound]

Nope. Take Martone. He will be a great addition to their top 6.

They would be adding like 8-9M in cap savings. That is the main reason I might be willing to trade Dobson for a cap manageable offensive forward. Also it makes taking Schaeffer #1 an easy choice without having to overthink it

 

[viper0220]

The team's leaders arent that young, though.

Most of the players are under 30.

 

[FinnishCoyote]

The team's leaders arent that young, though.

Keller and Sergachev are literally our oldest core players

 

[Schemp]

So what's the add to move up to #1?

 

[KaprizovSaveUs]

nobody is trading that for 4th overall in this year's draft

We might be trading that for a lot less than 4th overall

 

[seabass45]

So what's the add to move up to #1?

Don’t think it’s happening.
