PENGUINS REPLENISHING THEIR SYSTEM

Thats way too much... Realistically, it would take a young nhl established player, a solid prospect and two first with one being at the very least top 15. I made an offer to WPG sooner : Domi, Nurse (acquired for Tatar), 2020 and 2021 first plus a second. Thats fair and realistic. When I say fair it remains an overpayment but thats what itd take.

Lol, the trade I proposed seemed rather low to me. But then, how do you value a guy who might be the best prospect since McDavid...
I think the interesting thing is that MTL might be one of the best placed teams to pull this stunt. They have a young core, a plethora of prospects and picks, and some questions as to what exactly they are -- so that a team might want to gamble and grab those picks.

Why didn't you just add Suzuki, Kotkaniemi, Drouin, Danault, Gallagher, Weber, Petry and Price as well! May as well send the Bell Centre to them as well. Oh and all 24 of our previous cup wins.

Curious if you actually believe it's a gross overpay?

The way I see it; If you believe Lafrenière is a 100pts+ player:
Domi = 60pts (middle-6 forward)
Caufield = A prospect
Strubble = B prospect
2nd = 20% chance to be an NHL player
2020 1st -- (let's say it's pick 16)
2021 and 2022 -- Do you not think MTL will make the playoffs?

I do that trade every day of the week.

Honestly, any teams winning the first pick would trade it for this package... The question is wether or not a team might be willing to trade it for multiple piece at a price that would be of course closer to the real value of the pick. Keep in mind that Alexis is one player with the potential of having 90-100 pts season. You dont trade a 60-70 pts C, a top 3-5 prospect in the league who might score 40 goals someday as well as 3 first rounder which could all turn out to be lottery picks...
