Quoting: Caniac2000
The second overall pick for Ryan O'Reilly isn't a trade that is even close to fair value. Faulk is a top pairing guy on a team with 10 good defenceman (give or take). Rask would be a second line center to replace O'Reilly and is an NHL player. He's the next best center Buffalo have (after Eichel, unless I'm forgetting someone which I don't think I am). The prospects and 2019 first I think make fair value but thank you for your comment. I will evaluate this before I make another trade for ROR in armchair GM
As far as getting #2 goes,
i suggested “O’Reilly +”
Meaning we’d have to add additional parts to O’Reilly in order to get the 2nd pick
(But i doubt Carolina would even do that- it’s just my hope we could do that)
As for Rask, he’s in no way a 2nd line center, or even a 2nd line player
He had 31pts last year
Guys like that can be signed as UFAs without having to give up assets for them (or have them included as a trade piece)
Plus,
We (and most other teams too) have many forward prospects ready to step in that have 15goal potential
Rask just doesn’t make sense for us to want to acquire
As for Faulk,
i just think he’s overrated & not that great in his own end
There’s a reason Carolina fans keep suggesting him to trade instead of Slavin, Hanifin or Pesce...
I’m on to you guys! Hahaha
Not that he sucks, he just is t a “top pair” guy
All that said...
your trade proposal isn’t terrible
It’s probably pretty close to something that could happen
It’s just not a trade that i personally like
