Again, i doubt this trade would ever happen. If you have Carolina asking a 6x8 from Aho, no way can you afford Mitch. But how close in Value did I get?
With Mitchs situation what it is, and Ahos as it is, it is interesting to think about, or probably a waste of time to consider. but eh.
Aho vs Marner
IMO the RFA class of whos best in order I give to:
1.Point
2. Aho
3. Marner
4. Ratanen
5. Tchuk? spelt wrong
Aho did not get as many points, granted, but his abilities speek for themselves. and also Aho didnt have a star beside him(like Taraves). Aho also plays Center, scores more goals which are both more valuable and I think overall is a hair better as a player
Hamilton is an elite D on a solid contract. Enough said. Carolina has a lot of other D and more depth there.
Carolina gets Kadri who is an ok #1, good#2 Center. Kadris team friendly 4.5 is appealing as well.
You get up and coming D Travis Dermott. He has shown ability to play in the top 4. But maybe sub him out for Liligren since he is also a right shot. I dont know.
Overall I think Carolina has more value so take some picks to even it out.
I could make the rest of the roster, but as this would never happen, seems pointless to do.
I can see Aho and Marner being of equal on ice value and cap value. But is that an overpayment for two years of Hamilton....three years of Kadri, five years of Dermot and the picks, And it doesn't help the Leaf cap, might even make it worse.
