Thread: Nolan Patrick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>Sure it does. With that team, it definitely does. And it shows potential to other teams.

But with the team that drafted that prospect, They used capital to get that prospect(Not to mention a bigger contract and signing bonus). Draft capital. That’s exactly what the word means. It’s makes a players value. Value is based on capital along with other measures.

The capital it took to acquire a player or using draft capital on player creates his value.</div></div>
That potential is under the assumption the player is ranked high on someone else’s board. We’ve seen multiple GMs come out and say Patrick wasn’t their top pick and some teams will even remove a player based on injuries from their draft board. Potential goes both ways, in that he’s 22 years old, he’s not a finished product but he’s also D+4 season and that draft didn’t have a consensus home run top end at draft time. So when we say potential what exactly are you saying? That he could be potentially what? And what are the odds? What does he need to work on to get there? These questions come up because why would a team pay a premium for a player with his injury history with the assumption he goes to the next step? You wouldn’t because their is risk associated with said asset so you’d offer the value of something in between his current production and full potential. Would Philly take that offer? I don’t know nor does anyone on this site.

That’s probably fair value in my eyes.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>Sure it does. Investing a 1st round pick means you invested capita, time and resources in a player.

Good luck. I don’t see it happening or them trading Patrick.</div></div>
ELCs restrict the capita invested in said player and its a team development staff working with said prospects. So that department is tasked with working with all prospects. Are some of the higher draft picks allotted more leash in playing? Yeah, probably depending on the coach but it most will prefer to give veterans the playing time until they completely lose that roster spot (look at Trotz). Just because a player was drafted high doesn’t mean their value is higher. Look at Yakupov or the rumored ask for Poolparty from Holland.

Thread: WHAT IF 2015-17 Draft Edition
Zadina was the consensus 3rd overall in his draft and looks to be a good two way top 6 winger. I was high on Dobson that year as he carried his team to the Memorial Cup and is a great 2 way guy. In this scenario if we didn’t have Hronek, I would’ve opted for Sanderson or Drysdale last year (preferably Drysdale). Vilardi was higher ranked than Necas and I’m not sure Necas has played center at the NHL.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letter_Kenny</b></div><div>Hughes is 21 years old. Hedman wasn't Hedman at 21 either. Lots of time for Hughes to improve his defense.</div></div>
Hughes doesn’t have the tools to clear the crease nor has he shown to date he can be labeled a two way defensemen. I like him a lot but he needs a competent defensive guy to play with and this year is showing that away from Tanev. Seider would’ve been a great partner but we’ll never know.
