Value of: Value of Brandon Carlo to Winnipeg

[CrosbyStaalsAndNash]

Loved him during his draft year and wanted the Jets to take him with their 2nd pick in 2025, and am wondering what the price would be to solidify our RD group.

Signed thru the 26/27 season w/ aav of $4.1M w/ 8-team NTC in these 3 remaining years.

8 team ntc almost assuredly means no Winnipeg

You must be fun at parties. We'll assume he doesn't have WPG on the list (why bother responding if you are just going to be a negative nancy?)

Carlo has 2 years at a reasonable cap rate. Unless his play has drastically deteriorated, I'd expect Carlo to go for a high price. Boston isn't exactly pressed to move him and unless their is a youngster busting the doors down in Providence, they'll have a hole in their RHD spot. WPG is probably sending Salomonsson and some other assets. You'd essentially be paying to advance the positional timeline on that player so he can have someone today for a run.

Bruins need young talented forwards.

What happened to Chaz Lucius?

Been battling injuries, but so far he's been healthy this year and producing at a respectable pace in the AHL as he's learning to use his new bionic body. He's on pace for a little under .5PPG on a Moose Team where there is almost zero offense being produced.

He's getting consistent top-6 minutes and usage and showing flashes of his high end offence and an NHL caliber wrist shot. (not to be discounted, but his flow is all-NHL level)

Even if we're ignoring the NTC thing (which we probably shouldn't, because it exists) I would imagine there are teams that would outbid what the Jets could offer, at least if it comes down to a single asset. That being said, some package of Yager/Lambert + Lucius/Barlow/1st might get the conversation going in the right direction.

Personally, I think people will be surprised by any Carlo return. Giant, shutdown, RHD's don't become available all the time. He'd fill a massive need on more than half the teams in the NHL.

As a Bruins fan I would sell him to the highest bidder. IMO his defensive play has fallen off a cliff this season (though the same can be said for pretty much the entire team)...though I'd be interested to see if the advanced stats support the eye test. He was never a great puck handler but these days he has two moves: throw it off the glass to no one in particular or turn it over. Add all that to the long list of concussions he's had over the years and the Bruins should be looking to sell while his value (hopefully) remains high.
