Thread: Re-do the Blues
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>The cost of getting Pietrangelo is too much for TO, they wouldn't even think about that trade.

The cost is very high to acquire a RH #1 Defenseman in the NHL these days. Looking at the Drouin/Sergachev and Hall/Larsson trades of the recent past you will see an extremely high price being spent to acquire a RH defenseman with upside. Therefore the cost for a legit #1 will be even higher. Also right now Nylander is a movable asset for TML. I put a lot of thought into the trade scenarios that I made. I don't want to be the typical poster here who just pretends they are on the PS4. I looked at pros and cons for each team and that seems like a reasonable value for both sides with TML having the option of working out a reasonable extension with Petro before free agency hits. Also, Petro's skill set should age well in the league as he's not a physical d-man he plays the puck and uses his positioning to defend so he shouldn't have the wear and tear of a Doughty or a Weber as he ages.
