Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

The rebuild is still in “BPA” territory but LHS D looks really well populated so that eliminates a lot of the BPA around their range (Buium, Silayev, Dickenson).

I don’t think they should grab a smaller forward. It doesn’t matter at this stage of the rebuild but it’s not ideal. And it’s probably too early a pick to grab Catton anyways.

So it seems to come down to Demidov and Levshunov. Two great picks. Both fill needs.

If they grab a long term top sixer this summer like a Necas, I would think they are one more bad year away from having all the pieces! This assumes Moore can pan out as the number 2 C which seems like a very reasonable bet.

Exciting times ahead for Hawks fans.

Canes probably ask for a first

If they trade Necas, they surely can do better than three 2nds.

Awful proposal

"awful" is exaggerating a bit

Please explain how the Canes dealing Necas for those picks isn’t awful?

Necas is worth a 1st and probably 2nd, but (3) 2nds, including one that is the 33rd pick in the draft, is not "awful"...it's a bit off but not "awful"

The Canes are not rebuilding. They’re contending. If they deal Necas, it’s very likely for a roster player or players, not futures. Three 2nds, regardless of where they fall does nothing to help them now or next season.

Again, awful proposal from a Canes’ POV

And technically, the San Jose pick will be 33OA, not the Chicago pick.

Simply from a value perspective be it players or picks, the proposal is a bit off, but not "awful". I agree with what you're saying, but your initial response made it sound like value wise Necas lands some massive haul

33 or 34 tomato/tomato

I’ll stick with awful as that’s what it is.

Necas, to me, gets a Fiala-like return if traded.
