Value of: Tommy Novak

[AintLifeGrand]

Disclaimer- I’ve been a Novak stan since last season and he has become one of my fav Preds all time and I don’t want to see him traded.

Theoretically: If NoNeck and Novak cannot come to an extension by the TDL what would y’all pay for him?

Needs: High End Forward Prospects, Top 6 Fwd

Could Probably add Trenin and Lankinen as secondary pieces for a package

He’s a rental and an unproven player. He’s not sniffing a Top 6 forward or high end forward prospect.

A 2nd round pick would be a W.

You guys have $25 million in cap space, and he's breaking out with a 0.75 points/ game season so far, and you want to trade him? Barrie and Fabbro are off the books and the rest of the forward UFAs are depth... wouldn't you want to keep and add guys with skill (along with bringing the likes of Tomasino and Parssinen back up to join Novak)? Is he secretly terrible? I doubt he'd yield much in trades relative to what he can bring to you guys.

Yeah, I'm sure we'll re-sign him.

 

[Gurglesons]

Feels like he'd return a 1st given the scarcity of centers and the need for one around the league.

Seems like a player Nashville should keep and extend

Ok but what do the Caps offer if available

 

[hamzarocks]

Leafs 1st + Minten + Robertson

Novak + Fabbro@50%

Caps aren’t buyers so nothing but seems like a good FA target if he makes it there

 

[north49er]

Great name for a TV cop.....

Because he is a UFA, it lessens his value, but he is a nice late bloomer. Good add for a team needing depth scoring, and is coming from a team that plays a sound two way system.

Late 1st at most...maybe something like an early 2nd, or later 2nd and a 3rd.

Don't see NSH trading him while they are in the playoffs, or right on the cusp, so i think he'll stay put.

I'd hit that offer so fast if I was Nashville.

But Nashville is playing pretty well and in the playoff hunt so they probably aren't sellers. Even if they should be.

Who told you you that you aren’t Nashville? Hit that offer, Jedi

 

[oldwpgjet]

I think he has been ppg the last few weeks. Makes sense to sign him. Is he RFA or UFA?

To answer your question, instead of debating the premise here:

Probably a 1st round pick. Maybe a 1st + a B prospect.

I’d be floored if Trotz was able to get a high end prospect or a roster player for him. He’s a middle 6 center with very little track record who is a pending UFA. The only reason I even suggested adding the B prospect is because of how cheap the contract is.

What type of player is he ??

Hockey

guy is playing well at the right time. 800k centers that can put up points are pretty valuable to contending teams.
curious to see if trotz trades him. i suppose they could always circle back and try to sign him again in july, if so,
even though that usually never works out.

Agree, it feels like we make the deal now or he's gone and the team trading for him likely knows the ask and is willing to pay it.
