Deciding to sign with the Yotes? Interesting choice, McBain...

Also, pretty steep for signing rights my goodness

2nd round pick for a 22 YO prospect who hasn't even played a professional game yet. This is an obvious win for Minnesota.

Eh if he plays well enough they will flip him to a contender for picks!

this didn't even have a Baker winning season

I Still don't understand all the fuzz around McBain, hes good but worth an early 2nd round picks in a good deep draft ?

Fair deal, McBain looks like a decent prospect and there's no way they paid a 2nd to not sign him

It’s Vancouver’s 2nd. Not too early, but not late either.

Arizona wins because they get this guy

It's kinda crazy that he's going from playing in front of 2,500 college students to the nhl playing in front of 2,500 people

finally the arguments over his value are over

So many teams need center depth, and he chose Arizona?!? You really must not want to compete for a spot. At least choose Seattle and play in a real arena.

Vesey sweepstakes all over again.

So Minnesota traded a former third round pick for a second. ... Not even that, the signing rights to a former third round pick for a second. They win this one.

RIP Toronto ACGM's trading McBain's rights for a 6th.

"bUt MiNnY hAs No LeVeRaGe"

So let me get this straight ...



According to the Arizona front office ...

a player that was a 3rd round pick years ago ...

who has never signed an ELC ...

and who has never played an NHL game before ...

is worth a 2nd round pick for the upcoming draft.



The kool-aid they are drinking must be delicious

Watch McBain snub Arizona the way Jimmy Vesey snubbed the Sabres when they traded for his rights back in 2016 lol

Edit: at least the Sabres gave up a 3rd round pick, not a 2nd

They had 8 picks in the first 2 rounds of this draft, they could afford it. Him not signing an ELC yet isn't really an issue, his advisors have spoken with Arizona and he's comfortable signing there. Russo wrote about it a few times in the last week or so on how Guerin was handling trading his rights. Easiest trade ever for him, he made McBain's advisors go out and find him the best deal. lol

i really don't understand this reasoning. some players improve others dont. i dont see why a player couldnt improve to be worth a 2nd round pick.

Minnesota getting assets to get MAF maybe? 2 2nds instead of a 1st?

Spending a 4th round pick or even a late 3rd on McBain would make more sense for Arizona.

probably better offers than that. a 2nd seems fair assuming they sign him.

Sounds like Guerin's stance was either McBain's advisors find him a team willing to give up a 2nd or McBain can wait until August to sign his ELC. Minnesota had a lot more leverage than people realize.

The ASU Coyotes? McBain is basically spending another two years in college.

Or the easier solution.

You have zero idea of what you're talking about.
