Thread: Ben Hutton from VAN
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div><a href="https://public.tableau.com/shared/RPDBZJ8JH?:display_count=yes" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://public.tableau.com/shared/RPDBZJ8JH?:display_count=yes</a>

<a href="https://public.tableau.com/shared/7Q6W8H83M?:display_count=yes" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://public.tableau.com/shared/7Q6W8H83M?:display_count=yes</a>

The only thing Hutton has going for him is he plays more minutes. But outside of that Djoos and Siegenthaler yield better results.</div></div>

But it's a whole lot easier to play well in 13-14 minutes than it is to play well in 21+ minutes. And playing 21+ minutes is infinitely more valuable. Also, Siegenthaler and Djoos have played very sheltered minutes and have played in very few games in their career. If you're cool with giving Siegenthaler and Djoos 20+ minutes a night or even 17-19 against top lines, that's cool. It's like comparing a guy like Hagg to Hutton. Djoos lives in the offensive zone compared to Hutton, and plays behind Orlov and Kempny, who are great shutdown guys and take all of the hard minutes. That leaves Djoos with a lot of offensive zone starts and easier competition. Siegenthaler plays behind Niskanen and Carlson who though they play fewer hard minutes than Kempny and Orlov, they both eat a ton of minutes, leaving Siegenthaler with a tiny amount of ice time. By statistical comparison Kulak is better than Weber and Petry. Who would you rather have? By the comparison you showed me Matt Irwin has been "outplaying" Josi, Subban, and Ellis and almost equalled Ekholm. Yannick Weber has outplayed Ellis. Would you rather have Irwin or Subban/Josi/Ellis? Guys who are elite at playing 12-14 minutes a game are - pardon me - worthless. That they are young gives them more value, but Hutton is barely older than Djoos. Siegenthaler has talent but he's not quite going to fit in BMac's 2 year window.

Thread: Getting rid of the obvious
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>The first two trades, sure. Gotta get out of that Johnson contract and Brassard has been bad this year so fine.

But that last trade makes no sense............. Lets just go see what players were involved when trading 1st the past little while: <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/trades?round=1">https://www.capfriendly.com/trades?round=1</a>

In what way is a 1st rounder needed here? Trying to get rid of Sheahan? So be it, trade him with retention for a low pick. Trying to acquire Granlund? Sure, trade a 3rd rounder for him. None of the players involved here are quality players so where's the need to add the 1st?

This would be Reaves and a 2nd for Sundqvist and a 1st all over again. Using 1st rounder's in trades where they aren't needed.</div></div>

Depends how desperate we are to get rid of them

Thread: Win the Hughes lottery, trade to VAN
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HeinousFulcrum</b></div><div>Where are the 4 prospects you're talking about? There are only 3 of them in this trade. Petterson is one of their best prospects, but they still have Boeser, Horvat and Hughes. I don't consider Dahlen to be in the top 5, and Juolevi hasn't really proven anything yet. Are you taking into account Vancouver's 1st pick in 2019?
I agree this trade doesn't happen and that Vancouver would be giving up too much. However, your counter-proposal is way too low for a franchise center. Here would be my counter-proposal:
Det receives Elias Petterson, Michael DiPietro, and 2019 1st round pick.
Vancouver receives Jack Hughes (1st overall pick), and 2019 2nd round pick.</div></div>

Franchise centre yes but youre trading a franchise centre and a top 3 pick for a franchise centre. I mean would u trade 2 top 5 picks for a 1st overall?
