People do undersell Buff's value, but...
Others undersell the value of a 22 year old centre who can already slot into a top 6 role and put up 50 or so points. I mean he is no Seguin, but a young 2nd line centre with 1st line upside is a sizable asset too.
exactly. Buff's not gonna be worth a tonne more then Schenn. And I just don't think we should be trying to snowball it into some monster deal to secure a second "perfect" piece. Seems to me that's exactly how you kill a deal.
there's no winger on that roster that presents a reasonable mid-longterm upgrade that they'd be willing to part with without significant additions.
I can't imagine they'd be willing to lose two young centers without us adding significantly (maybe burmistroves rights? i could MAYBE see something on that, but i doubt he's valued as much).
As far as left handed D, that leaves gustaffson, grossman, and mezsaros.
I'll take Schenn at 24 and Righthanded over 28 yearolds grossman and mez.
I'd love gustaffson but i can't see them being to willing to part with a young capable top 6 d man who would develope more, and is on an ELC. Again, teams like philly are all about the Caphit VS Production.
so whats left? Prospects and picks? The problem there again is the caphit for Philly.
I really do think it leave Luke as the best add in regardless of name
