Quoting: Windjammer
No from Winnipeg. Considering Strudel has no value to Winnipeg and Kidney only a little, they can get more with a 23 draft pick most likely, elsewhere.
Struble is a LD who played most of his NCAA career on Jordan Harris's Right Side due to lack of quality Right Shots on his team that was rebuilding after the Primeau Era at North Eastern .
Struble moving back from RD to LD he became better Defensively while being more Physically engaged but his offernsive output went down going from 50% to 65% chance of scoring year 1 and 2 .
Then moving back to LD he dropped to a 30-35% chance of scoring but much better numbers and playing more minutes with a greater role.
Dude's versitile , a Gym Freak and like Anderson he has the speed you can just flip on like a switch to start odd man Rushes
I never really trade him for a reason as Hughes Coaches him and MSL son so there's a personal connection i dont feel Hughes will move lightly.
I also dont trade him for the same reason i dont trade Xhekaj though as this kids incredible strong and a 2 sport athlete up until the draft for a reason as he's got tons of energy and i think ADHD lol
Really if anything i'd send you back a seasoned Kovacevic who 100% will take Demello's job in camp unlike last year.
That said 6'4 and as mobile as he is that's someone you wanna keep in house as he's found money .
Havent found a 6'4 Defensman this solid and massive since we found Chiarot on the UFA market for 3.5m and we got a 15th OA pick , Heineman , a 4th round pick and a SCF run outta him.
Probably just smarter to keep the big guy and play him .
Really what WPG needs MTL doesnt got outside Centers and Picks
Why include anything else i guess would be my question ?
How would you feel about Kidney , Ylonen and 15th OA pick.
Ylonen will be a sophomore coming off a decent year where he's just odd man out.
Kidney is a potential steal as he has a Suzuki like year with 7 pts already in 2 games i think Suzuki had like 42 in 24 games at just under 2pts a game average.
Kidney's just destroying people in the QMJHL , we'll see if he can make a Memorial Cup and do it vs other league's top guys but my bet is Yes.
15th OA pick got us Caufield in a draft close to this stacked because teams chose Defensman out of order from most of the Analysts projections for the Draft.
I cant remember if it was the year DET moved up 6 spots to take Seider in the top 10 or the years ARZ took Sodderberg almost 10 spots early.
Point is the 15th should land you a Moore , Sale or Dvorsky assuming atleast 2 Defensman are taken before the 15th OA pick
IF you think someone can pay more feel free to let me know who
CAR at this point was the last team you said and their fans are ok with bringing PLD for a late 1st ,late 2nd , R.Suzuki and a B level prospect of your choice.
But that was the highest i seen them go on posts so far since asking them about what they'd pay for PLD.
Most teams are willing to pay the quality isnt there as much as the Quantity is though so its a trade off
