Quoting: TMLBRIAN
It was:
Minten, Fraser
Sandin, Rasmus
2023 1st round pick (TOR)
2024 2nd round pick (TOR)
So very similar to the package listed here. I would put the Leafs one ahead though because I really like Sandin. But they are close. Minten is our 2nd round pick from this past draft if you are unaware. Started hockey late, smart kid, looks to be a good 2 way, #3 C type.
I'm familiar with Minten, although not nearly as much as Leaf fans I would assume. In seeing that, the issue isn't so much "value" as it is other factors.
- Drury and Minten... both B prospects? Drury a bit older, hasn't really stuck although Carolina is stacked. Minten ceiling pretty low. Wash out.
- Morrow > Sandin... Morrow is a RHD prospect with the size SY likes and is looking to be a bonafide player. Sandin is a LHD who has no spot in Detroit. Edvinsson, Wallinder (plays LD/RD), Buium, Johansson, Sebrango, Viro, McIsaac are all coming up through the pipeline and Sandin probably falls between 3 and 4 on the LD depth chart (depending on AJ/SB). Chiarot is also still here for 3 more seasons.
- 2023 1sts and 2024 2nds cancel each other out as both have potential to be 25-32. If anything, Toronto's picks slightly edge out Carolina because it would be taking picks from a division foe.
Seider and Morrow as the 1-2 RD for the next 10 years sounds fantastic (especially considering the lack of RHD prospects). Sandin would have to fight in the trenches against 6'6 #3 ranked prospect Edvinsson and 6'4 #21 ranked prospect Wallinder on the left side. There is your difference.
