No sarcasm…This is one of my favorite posts in a while, not just the Canes part. I feel like most of these are fairly realistic in terms of value comps. Each teams fan base will gripe and complain (it’s ACGM after all), but from a return standpoint not too bad.
As an example - I highly doubt the Canes will actually get into the Horvat sweepstakes. Not just from a trade perspective, but mainly because they wouldn’t go to the number/term he wants in an extension. They aren’t going to pay him Aho or Svech money, so that means he’s cap out at $7.5m ish with term cap at like 5 years. Won’t get it done…
However, IF the extension part was good, Drury and picks would be an acceptable return for the Canes. Aho/Horvat/Staal/KK a formidable C depth for the next few until Staal retires.
