Thread: HellCat
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Hellebuyck maybe, not sure what his value would be as goalies are always all over the place. Also if he says he wants to play closer to home, which I believe he stated somewhere I was told at one point, then his value wouldn't be all that high to other teams.
Debrincat cost a first, second and third. Berggren is around that value of a first. Husso probably gets at least a second right now, if you look at his stats and say he's not good, then you didn't watch him play. He was a stud until after the deadline when the team folded in front of him. Then I added a second for next year just for good measure.
This trade addresses their need for a goalie and replaces Debrincat with a good young high skilled player.</div></div>

Also for Husso, factor in he played most of our games. He was exhausted on top of the team getting worse from the deadline.

Thread: Kyle Connor
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jgimp69</b></div><div>But if the Jets are forced into a rebuild then it makes zero sense to keep him. His numbers will significantly drop if PLD and Scheifele are gone. I love KFC but this may be his highest value right now.
I would hope that Chevy (or his replacement) know the intentions of Scheifele and Helly prior to the draft, assuming PLD is gone as well. If they indicate they want out, jump start the rebuild now and maximize everyone’s value.</div></div>

Yeah it will be interesting to see how it unfolds. Wheeler is getting old. Would be smart to get the most for Connor now. Like you said who knows what helly is doing. PLD is gone. They have some very nice young pieces. But will be losing most of their top talent/ vets. It will take a few years for youth to step in and get acclimated. Will Connor stick around for his next contract? It's a pretty chaotic next 2 or 3 years for them to see where they are at.

Thread: Kyle Connor
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Yeah Connor wouldn't make this team a playoff contender and honestly the pieces we need to draft and develop are far more important than he would be. Maybe when he hits free agency he comes home. We just have too many holes still within the organization that need to be filled with those picks we have.</div></div>

Yeah, that makes perfect sense. My thought was if we got him now. He could build chemistry with larks and anyone else on the first line. Our Def will be learning but pretty decent in 2-3 years. Then when our experience and skill push us into the playoffs we look for those 2 or 3 toughness and special teams pieces we need. It's tough to find the big scorers/ top forwards available for trade.
