Knight is said to be untouchable. If the Yotes are adamant about getting him, the deal will fall apart

lysell and Lohrei are definitly prospect that would interest the yotes from boston (look them up).

Both are solid but they need at least one defensemen or centre’s in the deal not 2 wingers.

(lohrei is a defensemen)

Neighbors is untouchable almost imo
the Yotes GM was the one who basically made the blues Draft Scotty P he is super super high on him so i can see him being the main piece

My bad I thought he was a big power winger cause of his point totals. But yeah if they are offering both Lysell and Lohrei that would definitely interest the Yotes. Although I’m sure the offer is probably Beecher and Lohrei

He’s undersized injury prone and old what the point of trading chychrun for a guy that’s the same age it makes no sense. Neighbours would be the centrepiece

Cause hes good, young, has massive upside
but as i said the Yotes GM is super high on him so i could see him being a centerpeice thats all

There’s a bidding war going on between 8 teams and if the right deal isn’t there we keep him.

Look up Scott Morrow. He'd be the starting point. Jarvis isn't a starter in this conversation

Yes exactly

We don’t want these second round college guys everyone is offering

He's the defenseman at UMass developing at a better rate than Cale Makar did. He fell to the 2nd round because he didn't play in his draft year due to covid. In a redraft, he's EASILY a mid first round pick.

Makar….lol I’m done debating you

Neighbors won't be in the deal. Bolduc and Perunovich are fine, but if the Yotes want an NHL player in the deal, Barbashev is the next guy up. Signed reasonably, can play both wing and center. Hate to give him up but he's still young enough for the Yotes.

It's just true buddy. Perhaps look up players before you talk about something you don't understand

its just a ridiculous point to make. makar did nothing insane on his first year, so there is a bunch of defenseman who are/were ''developping'' better than him. its doesnt take away from what scott morrow is doing but the point in itself is just bad.

I think Necas is available this summer for Chycrun, where is that on your personal grading of options?

No, analytically, Morrow is on a better development path at UMass than Makar was...

you mean you tell me he his doing better than the year he makar had 49 pt in 41 game? while dominating defensively too? if you are im just wondering on what metrics you are saying that(im curious for real cause you probably know more about morrow than i do). if you are talking about makar first year, like i said, makar first season was nothing crazy and there are dozens of defensemen who are having better freshman year. so comparing him to makar is really a moot point and not impressive. for exemple i can tell you about so many guys who are developping better than brayden point, cause he was a later bloomer, doesnt mean the guys have the same potential, makar is truly a generational offensive defenseman.

Morrow's got better metrics in both offensive zone, and defensive zone compared to Makar's 1st year. He's better in transition, and he's just got better tools than Makar. Makar's 1st year was very good, but he's not a generational talent (in reference to his YR1 numbers at UMass, not right now before you freak out). Makar's metrics < Morrows. What's impressive about that is that Morrow is in the exact same setup.

Mario Ferraro played on that Umass team with Makar and had more points. And he’s not even close to a better player so just with this nonesense.

I said nothing about points.

He's got the better metrics and has a better analytical development step than Makar did. That's just a numerical fact. Dislike it all you want, it's just what the numbers say.

Eye test tells a very different story.

And that's completely subjective. Eyes lie. You could watch 10 seconds with 100 different people, and all take something different out of it. that's the entire point of analytics. They remove that uncertainty. It's why you shouldn't form an opinion until you look at both.
