Quoting: Random2152
Let me clean this up for you:
1. The pick that led to Mercer --> Looks good, and was the big part of the trade that separated it from the Grabner deal
2. The pick that led to Siegenthaler (top-4 d-man) --> No he is not lmao. Dime a dozen depth Dman. (just to be clear, I like Sieg, he isn't anything to write home about)
3. An A-rated defensive prospect (Bahl) --> 3rd pair upside
4. A 6/7 d-man (Jaros, from Merkley trade) --> Literally 300 guys like this in the nhl/ahl
5. A prospect center with 16 pts in 22 AHL gp this year. --> See 4
1. Mercer
2. Siegenthaler is one of the league's best defensive d-men this year. If one uses xGAR-d (expected goal against compared to a replacement player), here are this year's league leaders:
Jonas Siegenthlaer: 6.4
Miro Heiskanen: 5.7
Jacob Slavin: 5.4
Ian Cole: 5.4
Devon Toews: 4.2
Damon Severson: 3.9
Victor Hedman: 3.8
Esa Lindell: 3.6
Ryan Lindgren: 3.5
Jani Hakanpaa: 3.4

3. Bahl has more than 3rd pair upside, but that depends on who you've got in your top-4.
4. Jaros - He is a depth piece and 5th most valuable player from this trade
5. Schnarr - there are 300 guys? Here is the list of young centers scoring at higher rate than him in AHL: Newhook, Rossi, Vilardi, Frost, Perfetti, Glass, Reedy. All but one are 1st rounders. Here are some of the guys who are scoring at lower rate: Byfield, Turcotte, Krebs, Veleno, Zary, Bowers, Dellandrea, Suzuki, Studnicka, Drury.
Happy to help
