Proposal: Calgary - Los Angeles: Dustin Wolf for Quinton Byfield

[Bounces R Way]

Purely hypothetical, which of these prospects has more value at the moment and which team would win this trade in the long run?



Wolf is one of the top goaltending prospects in the world with a pretty ridiculous resume for a 21 year old

• 2021-22 AHL goaltender of the year
• 2021-22 AHL first-team all-star
• 2021-22 AHL all-rookie team
• 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship gold medallist
• 2020-21 WHL goaltender of the year
• 2019-20 CHL goaltender of the year
• 2019-20 WHL goaltender of the year
• 2019-20 USA Hockey top junior goaltender
• 2018-19 CHL scholastic player of the year
• 2018-19 WHL scholastic player of the year

Byfield is the 2020 #2 overall pick with an impressive junior resume himself, but hasn't had a lot of traction as a pro so far. Still a lot of potential for the 20 year old C with a big frame and explosive skating.

• • 2018-2019 CHL Rookie of the Year
  • 2018-2019 OHL First All-Rookie Team
  • 2018-2019 OHL Rookie of the Year (Emms Family Award)
• • 2019-2020 CHL Top Prospects Game
  • 2019-2020 Hlinka Gretzky Cup Silver Medal
  • 2019-2020 OHL Third All-Star Team
  • 2019-2020 U20 WJC Gold Medal
    2020-2021 U20 WJC Silver Medal
    
    
    Kings seem to be a little light on good goalie prospects and the Flames don't have much in the way of top 6 potential centers. The old adage of young goalies being voodoo certainly comes into play here but Wolf has been very impressive in every league he's played in so far, and is a California native. Don't see the value at the present time being heavily favored either way but maybe you see it different.

No way of knowing the future, but goalies are absolute voodoo and Wolf definitely doesn’t have the value of Byfield at the moment

 

[Jannik Hansen]

In before lock

 

[KingsOfThe805]

Woof ...

 

[Figgy44]

I don't know if we could get Nolan Patrick for Wolf... let alone Byfield...

 

[Mrfenn92]

Nothing against wolf but kings say no easily

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Might be the worst proposal I’ve ever seen on here

 

[Trash Panda]

Wolf would be a great target for the kings, but not at the expense of Q.

Pass.

 

[MicronMega]

Not even close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr Kot]

While I am not a big fan of byfield, this would be a massive steal for calgary.

 

[KingsHockey24]

A 7th rounder for the 2nd OA pick? Mhm..

This isn't anything but an opportunity for people to come in and shit on Byfield, honestly.

I love Wolf but Blake would and should get tarred and feathered if he even stayed on the phone to hear 3 words after this proposal.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

The poll is going exactly as it should be. What a joke.

 

[go4hockey]

If you think this is close you way over value goalies.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

maybe Coronato for Byfield?

 

[JKG33]

Wolf is going to be an absolute stud, I'd take that and run as a Kings fan.

 

[Figgy44]

maybe Coronato for Byfield?

I think that's the add to keep the Kings on the phone. But I also think that Wolf is worth more to us than other teams. They'd have to pay a premium to pry him out of our hands, but we'd get a pittance tossing him into a deal.

goalies are just way too volatile. Even a goalie that has dominated at every level is not a sure thing. Heck a goalie can dominate for a couple of years in the NHL and then you sign him long-term and he turns into shit.

Maybe Wolf becomes a good NHl goalie? But I would never gamble on that by trading Byfield for him

Lol I'm starting to think you're not a kings fan

I've been a fan of Wolf for a while. He's going to be a good one. I also have 0 faith Byfield is a productive NHLer

Lol I'm starting to think you're not a kings fan

Lmao I just have no idea what anyone sees in Byfield

There is no add to keep the Kings on the phone.
The flames don't have anyone of interest regarding Byfield

Wolf is going to be a top 5 goalie. He’s elite. I can’t say what Byfield is gonna be but people that are calling this the ‘worst proposal ever’ are clueless.

I agree goalies are voodoo but this kid is special. He’s every bit the prospect Adam Fox and Johnny Gaudreau were (and I was the guy getting laughed at in the top 50 prospect threads for super-hyping Fox abd Gaudreau-which I’ve never done for any other prospect) He’s just special. Nuff said.

The kid almost set a shutout record in the WHL, despite not playing his 20 year old season. Despite being backup to Carter Hart in his first year. Despite playing through 2 covid shortened seasons. Abd yet he still almost set that record then he goes and wins AHL goalie of the year, and he should have won MVP of the whole league at 20.
