Description

I'm wondering what Lafreniere's value is right now. I fully understand that he probably isn't available, and/or that I might still be short here.

But I'm curious what people actually think his value is right now and what it might cost to actually acquire him. While I would love to acquire him, I fully think it's unlikely he moves. But, I'm compelled to put this out as a thought experiment and looking for a actual discussion on value.

Trades

MIN

Lafrenière, Alexis

Additional Details:

I'm wondering what his value is. The package I'm sending for him is strictly futures based solely because I'm not sure if or what to send off our roster or minors players that might be closer.

NYR

Khusnutdinov, Marat [Reserve List]
Petrovský, Servác [Reserve List]
2023 1st round pick (MIN)

Additional Details:

Marat is a B-level prospect with top 9 upside, and his having a really good season in the KHL this year. While Servác is making a name for himself in both the OHL and WJC this year, where he is over a PPG in the OHL and is currently centering Slovakia's top line in the WJC.

I don't believe MIN are in a position to be trading center prospects for winger prospects

The benchmark for acquiring Lafreniere is about what Kirby Dach went for last Summer.

1st round pick in the top half of the next draft + 3rd round pick in the next draft.

In terms of overall value, this trade you are proposing for Lafreniere seems to exceed that benchmark.

His value is tarnished & only his ELC gives him value. He’s more valuable to the Rags given his performance isn’t good.

Believe it or not the Wild currently have like 6+ center prospects in the organization right now. Either down in the AHL/Other Leagues or in the minors.

Those of them with NHL promise are. Rossi, Khusnutdinov, Haight, Bankier, and Petrovský. All taken within the last 3 years. While it's never a guarantee, both Bankier and Petrovský are lighting up their respective CHL Leagues this year and look fantastic. Khusnutdinov is playing a top-six role for SKA St. Petersburg in the KHL and having a really good year as well.

I'm not saying it's what I'd like to send out but it's what I think NY would probably ask for. Yurov is also an option and a need for NY since they need RW'ers. But he's also the only one Minnesota has of note either. But the Rangers also don't need defenseman or LW'ers, so options are limited.

Edit: And for the record, Laf may still be young, but he's not a prospect at this stage.

I agree, the issue I see is that Minnesota's 1st is going to be likely lower than other offers. As it currently stands, the Wild sit 20th in the league via Tankathon.

So I over compensated because of that, and the fact there would be competition if he were available. Although, not many teams can offer a pure futures based trade package right now.
