There was a poster arguing that Foudy and Behrens(?) are basically off the table because they've "played beyond their draft position. I've never heard of these prospects until today and I keep pretty well up to date with team prospects. But I'll bite just because I haven't heard of them, doesn't mean they can't be good. I look up Foudy, pedestrian numbers 2 years running in the AHL. I look up Olausson, pedestrian numbers in the OHL. You even replied to a poster asking what else the Flyers add if they take out Foudy and add Olausson to the trade. Like what? I honestly wouldn't these prospects for free and my teams prospects cupboard is bare.
Please don't put words in my mouth. I never said that either Foudy or Behrens were off the table.
What I said was that Behrens (note: no mention of Foudy) was outperforming his draft position. Here's my post:
Not really, that's a big price to pay for Colorado. Behrens is outperforming his draft position this year and Foudy is probably a late 1st round level talent in the eyes of Avs scouts. Many Avs fans would have been happy if he had been our 1st round pick where Barron was taken.
I made that statement based on the fact that Behrens is the 5th highest scoring U20 Dman in the NCAA this year. If you go just U19 then he's only behind Luke Hughes by 0.01 point/game. This is a prospect who according to some scouts likely would have gone in the 1st round if not for his size (5'10'' 176lbs), and is clearly having a great year.
That being the case it's not at all unreasonable to say that he's outperforming his draft position at #61 based on how he's playing this year. (And btw, not sure how you can argue against that in any way, given that you yourself admitted that you've never even heard of this prospect until today).
As for Foudy, I said that he is "probably a late 1st round level talent in the eyes of Avs scouts". Again, that is not me saying that he's off the table; all I'm implying is that his value
to the Avs is likely to be higher than his value to other organizations. That's simply because his best skills (i.e. elite skating and breakout ability) are likely to be valued higher by the Avs than any organization in the league given the emphasis the Avs put on skating and rush offense.
That said, apologies if I offended you in my posts, it was not my intention. If I may make a humble suggestion however, since you said that "I've never heard of these prospects until today", it might be wise to read up on the prospects being discussed in trade proposals here before making blanket statements about another fanbase and how cheap their trade proposals are.
