Around the league part 2

Good for Trotz--he couldn't win a Cup as a coach in Nashville but now he'll have a chance to do so as a GM. Poile needed to move on.

Also, I made an agreement with a Preds fan on the main trade board to send Grans + mid-round picks over in exchange for Jeannot. I'll take my thanks for expert armchair GMing via likes on this post, thanks.

I've often wondered how different would Seth Jones career have been had he been able to stay in Nashville.

Is this the first time ever that VGK didn't get what they wanted in-terms of the next shiny toy?

Didn't they also go hard after Danault?

Nuclear arms race over in the East.

West coast is trading water guns.

 

[Sleeping Dog]

So much for Trotz going to an Original 6 team.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Maybe he meant original 16th state, or original Confederate state

That’s ok. You need some water that isn’t irradiated.

All the contenders in the East are going for it, meanwhile the teams in the West are doing nothing, lol

If New Jersey didn’t have to part with Mercer, Holtz, Hughes or Nemec for Meier no way Coyotes are getting Clarke or Byfield for Chychrun.

Mukhamadullin was at best the Devils 5th best prospect, and I wouldn't even have him that high.

The trade ensured that the Sharks won't be competitive until around 2030 at the earliest.

Wow, Jeannot got a lot from Tampa. Still needs to be seen if he’s this years version or last years.

He shot 19% last year, so it’s most likely that he’s in between then and now. I’m guessing he’s more of a 15 goal scorer who can also run over or beat up anyone else in the league.

 

[kilowatt]

Mukhamadullin and Bjornfot are probably about equal in value. If he was the main prospect for a guy like Meier (in addition to the picks of course), I don’t see any reason why Bjornfot couldn’t be the piece in a Chychrun trade. If it’s Bjornfot, a first, and some other lesser stuff, let’s just pull the trigger already.

Jeebus, the Bolts gave up a lot of assets for him. Quite the premium paid there. We’ll see if it works out in the end.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Man what could we get for Iafollo and Arvidson at these prices. Let the kids take their spots.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Hagel-Stamkos-Kucherov
Killorn-Point-Colton
Jeannot-Cirelli-Perry
Paul-Namestnikov-Maroon

That's disgusting.

That Jeanott return is crazy. I think trades are going to stop for a bit as GM's try and evaluate what the hell Tampa just did to the market

 

[Herby]

The 2019 draft class has produced so many productive players who are already making a big impact on their clubs.

It’s going to be a long term miss for the Kings, very similar to how 2003 played out beyond Brown. The next 5 drafts brought three of the best players in franchise history and some useful secondary and depth pieces which made up for that pick, as well as the Hickey miss . So it’s still possible, there is just a lot of pressure now on QB and Clarke especially, what should have been a 3 headed monster of top 7 picks isn’t going to be.

 

[Brodeur]

Mukhamadullin was at best the Devils 5th best prospect, and I wouldn't even have him that high.

THN had Mukhamadullin as the Devils 3rd best prospect in last year's Future Watch and #50 overall. Add in Nemec ahead of that. Seamus Casey's had a nice freshman season at Michigan, but maybe a few years behind in development. I'm cautiously optimistic about Arseni Gritsyuk, but we'll see if they can entice him to play in the AHL or if he'll stay in Russia for a bigger paycheck. I feel like Nolan Foote has a better reputation due to last name + being a former (late) first rounder.

Sometimes it's tough to gauge the Russian prospects since most of us aren't watching KHL games. 25 points in 67 KHL games is pretty solid for a guy who just turned 21. Dmitri Orlov had 12 points in 42 KHL games as a 20 year old as an example. Seems like most of the recent highly drafted Russian D opted for the CHL route (Provorov/Sergachev/Kulikov/Zadorov). Feel like Mukhamadullin would have been a sexier commodity had he played in the CHL (or AHL this season).

The return on Jeanot is another L for the "it's easy to get grit later" crowd.

Shit is expensive. TB keeps paying for it because they know it's important. Blake keeps drafting the same center.

It’s easy to get grit when it’s Phaneuf and Nate Thompson that’s the grit.

I've never really heard of Tanner Jeannot, and was shocked at what they gave up. Cal Foote, a 1st,2nd,3rd, 4th and 5th. The guy has 14 points. Somewhere ARZ is saying , "see what they got..."

 

[kingsfan28]

the Dean Lombardi model of drafting... no picks til the 6th round.
