Quoting: vmach
Wow, seriously? why would you need a 2020 1st? because that can give you top forward or D at the TDL. Look at what happened last year.
Also Perlini played like 35 games or so on 2nd line in CHI scoring 17 goals. So he can be 2nd, in fact he will be better on 2nd offence than a 3rd. I was just being conservative.
Take a look at what Ottawa did with the first that they traded us, they kept the 2018 1st because it was a known quantity. A 2020 1st, while potentially decent value, is unknown. You have no idea what value you're getting. Might get you a UFA at the deadline, but we also have our own pick for that. Furthermore, after Kakko and Hughes, Byram and Turcotte are tier 2, with the other players you listed at tier 2.5 if not 3. So if I'm Joe, I'm taking the known value and holding onto pick #4.
That's great that you like Perlini, but again, he's not a need for the Avs. He's an average middle-six winger who gets offensive zone starts for the most part and generally can't control the puck. Just look at his
stats. The Avs need a strong two-way centerman or an offense creating winger. Perlini solves neither of those needs.
So to sum it up, we're getting an arguably less promising draft prospect at #12, an unknown quantity in the 2020 1st (not saying it's not valuable), a lower tier prospect, and a defensive liability in Perlini for what could be a top-2 defenseman in Byram or a top 2C in Turcotte. So yeah, that's a no for me.
