Since I spent some time sharing the video and scouting of Lundkvist with the scouts who were working him up (during my previous time as a liason for Central Registry, via the NHLPA's insurance provider), I think it's fair to say I can see the ceiling on him.
Let me also say, that the 2018 draft class has the potential to be on the level of 2003 and 2005's classes. Time will tell.
As an aside, I suspect that a Dahlin-Lundkvist pairing isn't just about pairing a couple of Swedish kids; it's about the potential of taking the pressure off what has been a clearly overwhelmed Dahlin. While I'm sure Owen Power will eventually do that, helping this very talented young man (Dahlin) get closer to a comfortable, consistent game ought to
be opportune to the Sabres.
Anyway, I'm not interested in a pissing match. I liked the original idea of Krebs, which I stated to the original author. I thought [Thompson], because a future move that's about cost-cutting (I.e. Strome being allowed to leave as a UFA, supplanted by someone like Thompson, so it was preemptive in theory) in its way.
From your comment it appears we agree.
Thank you very much for your lengthy answer.
I have to laugh at how many Sabre ACGM who over rate their players.
It is obvious that Krebs for Lundqvist is a great idea for both teams that I am surprised this is the first post with this trade..
I believe each team is trading away an asset from a position of strength (Fox, Trouba, Schneider) and receiving an asset where it needs help.
This is a perfect trade for the Sabres, I hope it would be for the Rangers as well.
If I may be so bold, who you are to have been privileged to view the scouting videos.
I would have loved to have seen those.
