What about something around McMichael? Young center. Second line is certainly ceiling.

Worst Case, Ontario
What if the kid prefers to play on only one team though and it’s not the one trading for him? Clearly any club trading for him would need to speak to him first to make sure he’d sign or they’re just wasting assets.

Ducks were the landing spot when his WJC linemate Gauthier didn't want to sign with Philly, so now we assume we are the front runner in all of these situations (joking).

I could see offering something like Lacombe + Oilers 1st but I sort of expect the Ducks would be outbid by a team that isn't already flush with LH forwards.

Listen to the actual comments a bit more insightful


Jets needs are 2C and top 4 RHD

But is this a case where there would be a bidding war? Seems this player has one team he will play for. Like Faber.

First of all, why does everyone in here think this kid has the Jets over a barrel? He’s got 2 more years of NCAA before he can become a free agent. Second, why would they trade him for a lowball offer like a 2nd when they’ll get a 2nd if he waits to go to free agency?

This is a big fat nothing burger.

True that certainly would hurt his value, granted I feel like most of the time it’s more than 1 team they’d sign with so we’d be competing vs other teams he’d sign with…. Isn’t he best friends with gauthier? I imagine he’d have no issues coming to Anaheim

Because you'll get a lot more if you trade him now to a team he's willing to sign with.

The NHL really needs to make it harsher on player doing this imo.

jet fans fall in love with their prospects way to much. they thought it was ok he didnt want to sign after year 2 as a 1st rounf pick. i hated it. i said i cant remember a 1st rounder not signing after 2 years. a 1st rounder playing 3 years in collage would be a step back in his development. they should think of trading him. well here we are. he should have been traded the day after he turned down his entry level.

Rangers could use some young talent. Hopefully he pulls a Fox.

Seriously though, I think they’ll get decent value though it’s obviously frustrating if rumors are true.
