What would the NHL equivalent of the Luka Dončić trade be?

[JKG33]

Millers is a non top 20 player in the league

AD is a top 10ish player and not top 10ish bigman

Millrt didnt do enough in the playoffs last year and thats on him.

AD made the 2020 lakers an elite championship team. Look at his reg season stats + first three series stats that final run and he was as good or better than Lebron until the finals

AD is comparable to Rantanen in the NHL

You're missing the point. The Canucks weren't a great team and basketball players have a greater individual impact on the game than hockey players. If Miller got to play behind a generational talent like AD did, Miller would have rings too

McDavid for Barkov and 2029 1st.

That's an insult to Barkov

 

[3074326]

Mack for Stamkos and a 2029 1st

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Adam fox for Hedman and a 1st

I love Adam Fox, he is nowhere near the player that Luka is. Maybe Makar instead.

Draisaitl is the easy Doncic comp, I think Davis (long-time top 10 two way monster, now on the wrong side of 30 and with a lot of miles on the legs) is harder to find.

Pietrangelo or Hedman of like 3 years ago?

 

[thefutures]

McDavid for Barkov and 2029 1st.

It's this but if barkov was 32

 

[Breakers]

who's the best player that is 25

who's the best player that is 32

 

[Gjman2019]

Great thread.

I'll say Matthews for a 32 Year old Malkin .

 

[centipede2233]

Matthews (27) for Barkov (29) and a 1st


Kaprisov (2) for kucherov (31) and a 1st

 

[Jetcetera]

Auston Matthews for Sasha Barkov and a 1st

id rather have barkov and a 1st

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

A 25 year old Draisaitl for current Mark Stone and a 1st a few years down the line.

AD is very good, his issue is that he missed plenty of games, which is similar to Stone

 

[Turin]

NBA is tanking so the best player gets dealt to LA in a lopsided deal.

Rooiiiight

 

[starling]

Marner for Kopitar

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Since one player is a lot more inportant in basketball, probably something like:

Matthews, Nylander for JT Miller, Boeser, and a 1st.

 

[JKG33]

To everyone naming Leaf players.. ya'll do realize Doncic carried his team to the finals right?

 

[Wildcarder]

There's no perfect comparison, but it feels something like a Hughes for Hedman type swap.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Maybe i don't understand basketball but why did Dallas trade Doncic? He's like the second best player in the league and only 25 yo.

He's fat.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

A single player in basketball can have a far greater impact on the game than a single player in hockey...most of the time.

The sports just aren't comparable.

 

[holy]

Phil Kessel for Daniel Briere many years ago.

 

[Aashir]

Doncic hasn't won.

I'd say Leon Draisitl for Mark Stone.

If mark stone was a consistent 90ish point player this right here is the answer

draisaitl is the offensive dynamo who is not that great defensively (I know this year isn the case but in general) and despite that he’s a top 5 player

Stone is the cerebral two way player, worse and older on offence but a really good defender.

 

[SI90]

Jack Hughes for Seth Jones.

 

[Spirits]

Draisaitl is the easy Doncic comp

Agreed, both soft offensive dynamo type players that aren't worth shit at defense.

 

[Romang67]

It's like if McDavid looked like Dustin Byfuglien, and Holland turned around after last season's playoffs and traded him for Malkin, with the explanation that McDavid was a fat piece of shit who couldn't play defense.

 

[BusQuets]

id rather have barkov and a 1st

I would rather have Barkov than Matthews AND 1st.

 

[qc14]

Agreed, both soft offensive dynamo type players that aren't worth shit at defense.

And both the best playoff performers of their generation

 

[gstommylee]

Could be anything from the Dallas GM is a f***ing moron, Dallas owners wanted to get under the luxury tax threshold, or Dallas owners want ties to sports gambling which Texas has rejected, so they'll tear it down and move to Vegas.

There's also the collusion angle. Ratings are down so the league wants a star in LA, and the two GMs are friends going back 20 years when one was an agent and the other worked for Nike


Weber was better than Subban

lol No NBA team is relocating ever.
