Monahan is worth more than half Devils roster
MTL half
a) 84 days ago, Monahan was priced on open market as negative 1st round pick. Let’s say that pick is valued as #19 pick (the average draft position for Calgary of last three years. (=-4.2)
b) Let’s also say the MTL 3rd round is a highest pick in 3rd round (=1.1).
c) I am going to be generous on Harris and say he has early 2nd round value (=2.2)
d) we have seen similar retention on recent trades, such as Foligno deal, so I would value it at a 4th round pick (=0.3)
NJD side…
a) 126 days ago, Nemec was drafted #2 overall. (=12.3)
b) Bernier is a tough one since there is injury risk, but make simple and let’s say he his 50/50 to perform this year (so even chances he has positive value or negative value). if he plays, he’d be worth a mid-round pick, if hurt, he would be a slight negative (50% x 0.4 + 50% x -0.2) (=0.1)
In sum…
MTL= -4.2 + 1.1 + 2.2 + 0.3 = -0.6 (equivalent to MTL paying a late 3rd round pick).
NJD=12.3 + 0.1 = 12.4 (equivalent to a #2 pick).
So, in short, take out Nemec and it’s probably close to a fair deal.
