I think that's a pick that holds more value to Montreal than most others. One "issue" for Calgary is that it ties up a potential trade asset, so perhaps has slightly more value than normal for them to re-acquire full rights. Of course Calgary wouldn't be trading 1sts either, so it's definitely complicated when trying to place value.
Andersson isn't nearly the same defensive player as Ekholm though. I do agree that he's likely going to fetch more in a trade than Ekholm.
Did you edit out or just ignore the part of my post where I said that? Calgary wouldn't trade their 1st, so it complicates the value further than the conditions already do.
You must've quoted it very early then and not responded until long after. I ninja edited and our posts were 10+ min apart.
Newspapers says Mailloux is a dominent hockey player
Yep, exactly my point. The value of that late first is basically a wash, nearly, after offsetting with the 2nd.
I kept scrolling but all I found was this: https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5299146
So does Matthews hold no value or does that just apply to Mailloux? Because that was your original statement
matthew's has kept clean for several years now so i dont it has a huge effect on his value. i could see some teams still being concerned about his behavior though. hed have more value if he behaved like sidney crosby.
no. especially with the wjc trial not started yet. hockey culture is going to be front page.
What are you even talking about? This is not even related to the wjc.
he doesnt need to be in the wjc trial, his name is going to be dragged in to the media coverage when hockey culture gets a look under the microscope once the wjc trail gets headlines.
Who the hell cares? That will absolutely not affect his value. Teams were lining up to draft him inthe 2nd round. Most teams don't give a damn. The only thing that will affect his value is how well he can defend.
