So he is worth more than any high power star that has been traded recently? I don’t think so Lmao
It’s pretty similar value to the return Buffalo got for Eichel, and no I don’t believe they are of same value, but when you consider the following;
a/ questionable recovery
b/ eichel isn’t readily available
c/ buffalo dealt from a losing position
I think a similar return for both players make sense.
22’ 1st round pick, Holloway, Samurai seems pretty reasonable to me, you can take out the goalie prospect if it tips the scale too much.
If Bouchard was coming off of a 60 point season pace and the Oilers had the offensive juggernaut like the Coyotes to help him, what would you accept for him?
It’s not a precedent obviously, but just an example; Chychrun is coming off a far better season than Jones but Jones brought back a huge haul.
12th overall > Oilers 22 1st round pick
Boqvist > Samurai/Lavoie
22 1st round pick <= Holloway/Broberg
There’s the 32nd and 6th round pick Columbus sent but got back a 44th so I’ll just chalk that up as a wash for argument same. Chicago recently paid more for an inferior player on a worse contract.
