Value of: David Pastrnak

Go take a look at who the last two 1st overall picks then compare to pasta.
Click to expand...

Which one...

Bedard hasn't hit 25 goals yet and struggles to break 60 while being a malcontent and is going to look for more than Pasta's AAV.

Celebrini is a rookie but 55 pts isn't setting the world on fire.

Maybe you meant Lafreniere? or Slakovsky? or Dahlin?

The only #1 overall pick since McDavid you can argue is better than Pastrnak is 1.5 seasons of Matthews.

Jack Hughes is the only one in that time frame I'd consider moving Pastrnak for and the only one to consistently match his PPG

Wouldn’t undersell Celebrini, obviously, not there yet, though.
 
Bruins will probably be really bad next year in a year it's great to be bad considering the draft. Pasternak, 2025 first, 2026 first and Eichel will turn it around rather quickly.
 
Hey pasta.. you've been wonderully loyal to us. We have traded you to Buffalo. Good luck!

I'd be more curious how to get Kulich to Boston. Dream landing spot for him and the B's.

Oilers made a push for Rantanen and apparently were willing to go higher on an extension than he signed for.

I'd easily be good at 4-5 1st rounders valuation for Pasta. Finally give Draisaitl an elite winger. McDavid would see oppositions 2nd pair D-match up as no way teams wouldn't line match a Draisaitl - Pastrnak line.

The only thing holding you back then is 4-5 1st rounders. They don't have any 1sts until 2027, so what... '27 - '31 first rounders? By that point you never know, they may be back to 3 first overalls in a row. Yeah, I know the rules don't allow for that, but the way shit runs off a Katz's back...

Maybe you can send them some of your recent firsts? Like Broberg. Wait, no.... Maybe Hollow... wait, no..... Yeah, you look like you're shit out of luck. You can't have ALL the shiny toys.

lol your username says it all. Pasternak will get a Taylor hall like return if he’s ever moved because again and again people don’t get the concept of wingers being worth substantially less then C and D

You think the Oilers did well in that trade? They continued to be successful in spite of it.

Bold part I agree, and I was responding to one assessment which I think was not totally right. If I am correct - Wayne was traded in 1988. Edmonton in my souvenir won the SC with Messier and w/o 99 in 1990. Might be mistaken. So IMO Oilers did not do that bad following the trade.

88-89 Oilers were so-so but won the SC the following year in 1990. But I read your point.

Oilers keeping 99, would probably have more than on additional SC.

99 did elevate the Kings to a SC contender and IMO is the big reason why hockey became so popular in the US.. but that is just me.

The team I can see Pasta trading to and getting a good package would be LA

Brandt
Byfield
Greentree
Laferriere

for

Pastrnak

Boston gives up a top 10 superstar in the league in his prime but gets depth with good young players with potential. Fair on both sides.

Not a chance Kings even consider this for a second. Kings aren’t gutting their future for one player who doesn’t play Kings style of hockey, didn’t work with Kovalchuk, won’t work with Pasta. Bruins are the best team for Pasta.

They absolutely would consider this. Kopitar is on his last legs and their window of achieving anything in the playoffs is closing. Outside of Kempe and Fiala they don´t really have elite wingers on their team. Foegele, Moore or Laferriere in the top six won´t cut it in the playoffs. Byfield and Brandt would hurt them the most, especially Byfield as they need him to develop into the replacement of Kopitar but if you want to have a superstar you have to give something of value back. Pastrnak is a playmaking winger and elite goalscorer who is not comparable to a 35 years old Ilya Kovalchuk.

What style do you think the Bruins have been playing for 20 years exactly?

I legit love Kovalchuk, but he was on his last leg in LA at 35, far from the sniper he was earlier on in his career. Pasta at the prime age of 28 is definitely worth that package. Theres probably 10 players in the league that you overpay to obtain, and Pasta is hands down one of them.

Yea not the kings though. They are trading away their future for maybe 1 run? Kopitar will be 38 next season and Doughty 36.

Would make no sense for LA.
