<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yikes</b></div><div>Taking the BOTTOM 6 teams:

Philly (6th last)
Buffalo
Seattle
Ottawa
Arizona
Montreal (Last)

I think its quite interesting for the Shane Wright sweepstakes because - there are some REALLY good situations for him to join. But.. there's also some pretty bad situations he could join.

Best Situations Ranked (going with my gut, not really thinking):

1. Ottawa
Shane Wright, in the capital, would be a insane fit.

Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson (an actual top line)
Stutzle - WRIGHT - Formenton
White - Pinto - CBrown

Thats a lethal lineup for the Sens (hoping they keep CBrown). Stutzle not only stays at LW (which I prefer for him) - but more importantly Timmy gets some real help and it looks like hes developing some chemistry with Formenton which is a lethal duo. The Sens then add a healthy, TOP prospect in Pinto - on 3C. I mean the Sens immediately become a playoff team imo. Adding Sanderson (on D) and having a full clean slate next year with Shane Wright (and Pinto). Thats heaven for the Sens.

2. Buffalo
Ima keep this short and sweet. Take a look at the Sabres prospect pool/ AHL team - add Shane Wright. THATS A WRAP.
Seriously would make losing Eichel water off their back (now just don't make Wright the next Eichel situation lol).

3. Montreal
Montreal just saying "Shane Wright" at the draft (with fans) will probably wipe the memories of 2021 for the Habs fanbase. Adding Shane Wright makes the Habs some flexiblity in terms of movie some money out and loading up with Suzuki, Caufield, Wright and mixing them in with the veterans they keep. But its not a easy solve, they need to move SOME money out and we'll see AL and Chiarot leave soon - probably go..?

Toffoli -Suzuki - CC
Gallagher - Dvorak - Hoffman
Armia - Wright - Anderson
Evans
(Idk habs lines sue me)
I mean a healthy lineup and some fixes on defence and Montreal will have a super annoying forward depth (and they have a literal ton of prospects lying around to join the team soon)

4. Seattle
Poverty franchise. But Beniers and Wright are a future to be excited over.

5. Arizona
Wright is gonna play infront of, AT MAX CAPACITY, 5000 fans at home games lmfao. What a NHL experience.

6. Philly
I have no idea what this team is. Or is gonna be.</div></div>

Sabres would line up like this

Skinner - Thompson - Tuch
Krebs - Cozens - Ollofson
Mittelstadt - Wright - Quinn

That's an ideal position for Wright IMO. But Playing next to Stuetzle I'd defiently the best case.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devil1122</b></div><div>Its probably better to compare them based on positions
J. Hughes &gt; Cozens
Hischier &gt; Krebs
L. Hughes &lt; Power
Smith &lt; Dahlin
Holtz = Quinn
Bratt &gt; Thompson
Mack &gt; UPL
Sharangovich = Olofsson (not sure about this one)
Zacha &lt; Tuch
Daws &lt; Levi

Not sure who else the Sabres have (don't know much else about the Sabres prospect pool)

But for the Devils, they have: Mercer, Mukhamudullin, Gritsyuk, Foote, Clarke, Stillman, Siegenthaler, Walsh, Bahl

Both have very good futures</div></div>

So I'd agree except I wouldn't have Mack above UPL, not close and Krebs is going to be better than Nico maybe =.

Other things to consider, Dahlin, Jack Hughes and Levi are like 2 steps above their comparisons.

Other prospects 3 firsts, Peterka, Sammuellson, Bryson, Asplund, Bjork, Rosen, Routsalainen, Johnson, Weissbach, Poltapov, and Kisakov, Jokiharj u, Mittelstadt.

Thread: TDL Roster and Player Values
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>I like the optimism, I just think you will be disappointed when none of those players get near that value. Hino is the only one with real value, perhaps Anderson if he comes back strong. Agree that Quinn and Peterka should be in AHL. Add Krebs and Power for the playoff run and thats a darn hard team to beat in the A</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>That is true, and purposefully so. My point with all of those players are they are your stereotypical player who gets overvalued and teams pay a second or sometimes more for when they are in contention.</div></div>

^^^^^^ as well as in my description I said just sell them no matter what, won't be disappointed if they don't sell at premium value.

Yes please, a 10 game suspension would be great!
