No way Jacob Markstrom signs that cheaply, On the open market he'll easily get around 5 x 5.5 or 5 x 6 no way he accepts a 3 x 4 deal from Buffalo.

trades notwithstanding, what about ullmark? hes been better than hutton for 2 years

really selling high on Mitts here, huh?
that package MAY land you Johnson, not Cirelli...

Mattias Sammualson is worth a first. Ur getting a prospect who still has a decent upside and could end up a v good 2C. + 2 firsts. Mattias is 6'6" captain of US world Juniors team.

that's great and all, but i still stand by my opinion. this package does not even come close - if it is this years 1st, unprotected then maybe...

Ur over valuing Cirelli, last year mitts was more valuable than Cirelli, sure changes can be had in careers but, not a solid d man and a first change.

Cirelli is one of the best 2 way centers in the game right now.
Mitts stinks, Sammualson isn't a Top 50 NHL prospect and the first is not even in this years draft.

Please tell me, how am I overvaluing Cirelli???
sounds more like you are undervaluing here...

I would absolutely do this, but it is an absolute ton. Even if you don't like mittelstadt (which I personally do not) or don't know who samuelsson is, you absolutely have to believe that's another top ten first next year. We have reached the "I will believe they can be good when they are good" phase.
